Saturday morning dawned with horribly tragic news for Poles throughout the world. Within minutes word of the aviation accident that took the lives of many of the civil government leaders as well as not a few of the respected Church leaders was making its way around the world.
It wasn't long either before analyses were being produced, and parallels between this dark day and another dark period in the history of Poland were being drawn.
Sudden death and tragedy have a powerful potential to unite the human spirit. So it is that Poles throughout the world, and others who know and love them will mourn in the coming days for this immeasurable loss. Services of remembrance and thanksgiving are being planned as we speak.
From near and far, we join our voices in prayer, asking the Merciful Lord to look kindly upon those who are in mourning at this time, even as He welcomes into paradise the souls of those who have now been united with him.
