– The Liturgy of the words of tonight puts before us the full past of salvation. The Scriptures remind us of the creation of the world, the first sin, the test of Abraham’s faith, and the departure of the Israelites from Egypt, and the introduction of the chosen people into the Promised Land. Each of these moments is simply a symbol of our way to salvation. God in his love always seeks us, meets us, leads us through darkness so that we can yet see the light. In this communicative of salvation we are all, due to the fact that it is the communicative of our lives – Fr Marcin Sawicki said.

– present we celebrate the birth of a fresh world! another days, the days of the old world, are our work. We made them. Days of betrayal, abandonment, escape, denial, possibly hatred, wickedness and sin are our work. They form part of the old world. We have brought darkness into the world, and He gives us light. We have gathered the filth, and He pours purifying water upon us. We sought death, He gives us life. We specialized in destruction, He, at his own expense, fixed everything. erstwhile we began to hate, He answered us with stubborn love and forgiveness. We chose sin, and He responded with mercy. It's the night of the passage. This is the Passover! Moving from the old planet to the fresh world. Christ is our Passover! – said the Rector of the Olsztyn seminary.
