Next week on Saturday October 9, we will be blessed to host at our parish the Cross of Gratitude. The mission of pilgrimage with the Cross of Gratitude to all the capitals of the world began with the words heard on the day of the Resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in 2003: "Take up my Cross and bring it to all the capitals of the world as a sign of gratitude to Almighty God for our salvation, which we receive from Jesus Christ". On March 10, 2004, in the Vatican, the Holy Father John Paul II blessed the initiators of this mission. His successor, Pope Benedict XVI, blessed the cross in 2006 during a pilgrimage in Krakow. Pope Francis blessed the cross and all those leading the evangelization campaign in 2016. The peregrination of the cross has already taken place in 46 European capitals. The Cross of Gratitude made pilgrimages from Lvov, among others through Kiev, Warsaw, Rome, Paris, Berlin, the Baltic States, Scandinavia and Great Britain, and now it has reached the USA.
