15 August, the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, marks the 105th anniversary of the Battle of Warsaw, known as the ‘Miracle on the Vistula’. ‘This is an opportunity to give thanks to God for the gift of freedom and to ask for blessings for Poland,’ says the President of the Polish Bishops’ Conference.

‘Let us ask especially that we may love and respect our Homeland,’ encourages Archbishop Wojda, calling on people to draw on the experience of 1920, ‘when, in response to the appeal of the Polish bishops, the whole of Warsaw knelt down to pray for victory.’ ‘And let us ask for the graces we need, above all peace and reconciliation in our Church and country, because only when we are united are we strong,’ he emphasises.

‘Let us entrust our lives to the Mother of God and ask her to guide us and help us overcome all evil: above all, the evil within ourselves, because this is the first step and the key to transforming our reality and the whole world,’ says the President of the Polish Bishops' Conference.
