I am afraid that through these words I may widen a gap. But what I want them to do is to make it smaller. I am sorry if I do this carelessly. I learn along the way. I was brought up in such a way that I do not divide people according to the color […]
English version
I come
I can imagine that the meeting with God in the garden of Gethsemane was the closest for Jesus. Because He chose not what was more comfortable to Him, but what God wanted. Such decisions are made only out of closeness. I. Holy Thursday. Garden I want to return to the place of desire. The place […]
4/ Power of the cross and to love
Healed and whole after the death of my fiancé, I wanted nothing but God alone. I had the feeling that my whole life, which belonged to me, had burnt up inside me. Which I spun and built on a Christian basis. And that He has grown up in me now. Already without any other desires. […]
3/ He heals until the end
One day I was coming home from university. Those were the times when I studied in Gdansk. I felt a certain tension in me, anticipation, and I tried to name it. That was the first time I discovered it. I was looking for a car parked on the street where my brother and I lived. […]
2/ He is above names
In the first year of high school, I already knew a bit about the Bible, so during catechesis I liked to comment on the teacher’s statements based on the Word. One time the teacher asked me to stay in class after the lesson. He said he can see in me the desire to know God. […]

Anger
When I first came to Mozambique, I was curious about everything. But most about the other person. Ready to learn from people here. On their soil, in their home and surroundings. View from their point of view. I came empty, that is, I put aside the world that I knew. As far as it is […]
Take God at His Word
“You will have the year you believe in.” (You will have what you believe is yours. You will have what you take from the Word. What you believe in my Word, you will experience.) For many years now I have been used to asking God at the beginning of each year what this coming one […]
At the end of 2021
We started this year in Pemba in fear, and we are ending it in Nacala, fearless. Better circumstances and solved problems did not bring this change. What changed it, it was our trust in God and believing His Word more than anything we can reach for with our five senses. This is what this year […]
All your houses
For the first family we’ve met, I chose something from my clothes and one capulana. We also had a mosquito net which we didn’t use anymore. And something else, ah! A baby bottle. We packed everything in a big bag and shared with them what was ours. Who knew then that an year later we […]
