9 years ago on my birthday May 11 I decided to go to Warsaw.. Jesus had told Faustina to go to Warsaw. At my birthday 9 years ago friends but money in a hat.. to cover my expenses, I think I got 700 dollars or so…
I bought a ticket to Warsaw.. about 2 weeks out.. I was thinking about not taking any money with me on the plane, and trusting in God. Did not Jesus say to Faustina ‘go to Warsaw.’
So about 2 weeks out. I get a call from a woman name Sonia.. she wanted me to bless her parents that flew up from Brazil. They were polish and I was polish. That was the only reason Sonia gave.
So I ask the standard question ‘why are your parents here?’ Answer next week on Monday we are going to a pilgrimage to Poland called ‘following the footsteps of John Paul.’
I said ‘Wow’ I am going to Warsaw next Monday. But I was flying to Warsaw. They were flying to Krakow. Long story short they didn’t have a chaplain. At Dulles airport. I meet them. Their fright to Krakow. My flight to Warsaw, I was given a paper with what train to take from Warsaw to Krakow, I took a cab.. got to train station in Warsaw. Gave last at desk a piece of paper with what train I needed. She gave me a ticket. I got on what I thought was the right train. At 230 am or so, get off train in what looks like a random neighborhood somewhere in Krakow. Call a number on a piece of paper. Half hour later a bus comes and picks me up and takes me to a hotel where Sonia snd her parents were staying fit their trip ‘on the footsteps of John Paul 11’
It was good I brought money had to pay for my room.
My trip was 3 days longer than their trip. So the tour director put me on the same train to Krakow to stay at a castle in historic Warsaw. When I went to Warsaw. Found church and side altar that St Faustina first went to when she came to Warsaw.
That night went on Facebook. And asked if I had any friends in Warsaw. I get a message from a young Catholic Charismatic Catholic if I wanted to go to a prayer meeting. Said yes. Told to meet him at a statue at the center of square around 6pm. Meet him and go to some prayer meeting an hour away. All in polish but the spirit speaks in one language.
Next day.. get bus to airport. I am on the virgin flight of a Dreamliner and I have been put in business class,
Good that I did bring money. While the chaplain of the tour had to pay for my accommodation.
The next year lead a group of 28 people. Was now formally leading a tour with the original group. This time the tour group did something new. Then went to Warsaw for 2 days.
All of this was because Jesus said to Saint Faustina ‘Go to Warsaw.’ And I took those words to heart,
