I had met Fath...Thank you for sharing this with us. I had met Father Listecki while he was a priest at St Ignatius in Chicago, and his love and dedication to the church was impressive, to say the least. Sometimes, it seemed to me that he has literally become one with the church, not only in spirit, but also materially. He seemed to be a prolongation of the walls as he was walking up to the altar, or on the corridors, and a continuation of every little aspect of the church. He lived for the people there (I also saw him ministering to an old Romanian woman, very devout, when she was sick; she barely spoke English, but her faith was immense; she lived 98 years, and she was constantly praying for 30). Father was passionate for the restauration of the church. <br />I am so sorry that I didn't know about his coming to Marytown, since this is one of our favorite places, for prayer and spiritual advancement. <br /><br />I encourage all who don't know Marytown, to go to this very special place where the grace of our Lord abounds. It is open 24 hours, 7 days a week (correct me please, if I am wrong). It is blessed! For us, it is very important to be able to go to church at any hour of day or evening, even if we have to travel one hour one way. May God bless all the brothers and priests there, and I thank them for their prayers!Ioancris21https://www.blogger.com/profile/15545311897406878522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5397690736097672103.post-37575924707345126012009-11-14T15:12:48.274-06:002009-11-14T15:12:48.274-06:00Fr., I rejoice with you!Fr., I rejoice with you!Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06195528409761980551noreply@blogger.com
