Fr Jan Kruczyński – My testimony
I was born at the end of WW II. in a small Polish town, called Zywiec near Krakow.
My childhood was ordinary and despite the hard times, I have a lot of nice memories..
When I was 12, during the service at church, I saw Jesus and he said to me: ” John, you will be a priest. ” and I replied: ” Yes, but there are three conditions:
1. I will be a holy priest.
2. I will preach as well as the priest who is now preaching
3. I want to meet extraordinary people, who will help me to become one.
At the end Jesus said: “I agree and I am giving you a 4th gift: You will be breaking the boundaries which keep people from reaching God’s Kingdom.”
At the age of 14 I had the first problem: to choose the right school for me.
I didn’t know whether go to High School in my town or to a different school in further region. While I was praying I heard Jesus again. He said: ” I know that you love the High School in your town, but you will commute to the other town and listen to unpleasant words about your region, but I want you to forgive these people. ” I was doing that with joy for 5 years. At that time I recognized that all the prejudices that my region had about the people from Silesia (the region I studied in) were not true, because also in that region I found people who were ready to help me to finish my studies at High School and to prepare me for my future life.
Course BENVENUTO (Welcome)
March 8th 2008.
Cogollo (IT), Bristol (UK), Gravesend (UK) and Oxford (UK) met together in Oxford to participate at a course of Koinonia John the Baptist – BENVENUTO. Father Jan Kruczinski (Cogollo, IT) celebrated a Holy mass and then we looked together at who is Koinonia John the Baptist and what it means to be a member of Koinonia John the Baptist. It was great experience to spend a day together: praying, sharing lunch …..
Easter 2008
1 How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity! 2 It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, running down on Aaron’s beard, down on the collar of his robe. 3 It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. For there the LORD bestows his blessing, even life forevermore.
(Psalm 133)
And the Word became flesh this Easter. Our HOPe met to celebrate the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. Prayer, agape – just being together.
Back in Oxford
Oxford, a beautiful city where we live and minister, and where I study, is the place where God planted us 2 ½ years ago. Is it my nature to never be satisfied with what I have? I have 4 months to go until I finish my degree course and I am thinking about what to do and where to go next. Every week there is a career fair at our university where potential employers (big players) make presentations to recruit the next generation of general managers and managing directors. “Pass”, my heart is telling me “it is not for you”. My mind tries to fight – thousands of pounds I’ve spent on this education and it is not for me? My heart is determined… Consequently, I am deleting all the emails about career options as soon as they appear in my mailbox, just so I’m not tempted.
