P uring the last "trip" to the Polish did little pictures. Among them are but two - in my opinion - be specific: the Sanctuary of Divine Mercy in the night ...
... and gate Concentration Camp Auschwitz - Birkenau (we were there exactly on Ash Wednesday.)
D opiero in Rome, I realized that these two photographs are in some sense complementary. I remembered a fragment of John Paul II's book "Memory and Identity," in which Pope pondering "the measure imposed upon evil" writes: ... revelations of Sister Faustina, focused on the mystery of divine mercy, refer to a time before World War II. It is precisely this time, which were created and developed these evil ideologies, which were Nazism and Communism. Sister Faustina, became the spokesperson for the message that the only balance capable of true evil of these ideologies is that God is mercy - the truth about Christ merciful.
About Boz Concentration Auschwitz - Birkenau Museum and the Sanctuary of Divine Mercy - the two "holy place" (in 1979, John Paul II called the camp "special sanctuary") are like a question and answer. Evil can be (and is) huge, but it is far. Only mercy is boundless.
