[Grem] A mai szentmise igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, our Gospel blesses those who hear the word of God and observe it.
In this regard, I would like to speak about the response of the Polish
people to the word proclaimed by St. John Paul II. The power of the Polish
Communist state, and behind that the power of the Soviet Union, is what
John Paul faced at the beginning of the 1980s. But he was practiced in the
art of facing down oppressive political forces, having grown up under
Nazism and Communism. He spoke of God, of human rights, of the dignity of
the individual—frightening at every turn, his handlers worried about
diplomatic repercussions. As he spoke, the crowds got bigger and more
enthusiastic. This went beyond mere Polish nationalism. At one gathering,
the millions of people began to chant "We want God! We want God!" over and
over for fifteen minutes. There was no controlling this power, born of the
confidence that God’s love is more powerful than any of the weapons of the
empires of the world, from crosses to nuclear bombs. This is, of course,
why Communist officialdom tried vehemently to stop John Paul II. But there
is no chaining the Word of God!*
