Readings
My mission is to show the world that the road to holiness also goes through noisy markets and streets, and not only in monasteries or in quiet families. I want holiness for thousands of souls. And it will not happen, it will not really happen that I will go to heaven alone. There I want to lead the ranks of those who will die after me after my death. – Blessed Natalia Tulasiewicz writing in her spiritual journal
