Glory to Jesus Christ!

Receive my kind regards. I would like to briefly describe You an interesting event which happened recently and is related to the appeal for confession of faith by 14th September 2009. On 14th September Archbishop Zvolenský celebrated Holy Mass in the Church of the Holy Family in Petrzhalka (a district of Bratislava). At the beginning of the Eucharistic Prayer, that means shortly before the consecration, when the priest pronounces the words: “On the night He was betrayed...”, suddenly the bishop’s crosier fell and broke into 3 pieces. After the Mass the Archbishop was leaving without it as it was no more usable. One believer said that it was a warning for the shepherd, for it is impossible that all of a sudden the crosier should fall and break into pieces so strangely! Apart from that, before the Mass his pectoral cross disappeared mysteriously, so he had to celebrate the Mass without it. I think that these events were a clear God’s sign calling for repentance.

May the Lord richly bless You!   

Yours truly Ch.M.
