Jerzy Popieluszko - Introduction Jerzy Popieluszko's last homily was
"Conquer Evil by doing good!" This was the final straw for his adversaries. They had to kill him. That sounds a little ridiculous, but there's more truth to it than meets the eye. That statement, and all it implies, is very dangerous and threatening to all that Communism holds sacred. How does an opponent fight against that philosophy. It reminds us of something Jesus said: "You have learned how it was said, `an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.' But I say this to you; offer the wicked man no resistance. On the contrary, if anyone hits you on the right cheek, offer him the other as well; if a man takes you to law and would have your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. And if anyone orders you to go one mile, go two miles with him. Give to anyone who asks, and if anyone wants to borrow, do not turn away. "You have heard it said, `You must love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I say this to you; love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you." Father Jerzy Popieluszko - Victim of Communism Fr. Jerzy Popieluszko was a victim of an angry, dying dinosaur, lashing out at the very One who killed him. It would take almost six years after Jerzy's death for the dinosaur, Communism in Poland, to breathe its last, but the turning point began with the murder, the martyrdom of Fr. Jerzy Popieluszko. Jerzy Popieluszko was born on the Feast of the Triumph of the Cross, September 14, 1947. He would prove to be a super-strong catalyst in bringing about the Triumph of the Cross in his life, and in the lives of the people of Poland. He was born in the northeastern part of the country. He had the influence of two important role models, which tyrannical governments have been trying to destroy from the beginning of civilization, his grandmother, and a good Priest. In this instance, the Priest was Saint Maxmilian Kolbe. |
