The Chapel at the Convent (Krakow)
December 15, 2025 - 5:39pm — Kfmiller
Instrumentation: Voice, organ
Duration: 3’
During the 1930s, at the chapel of the Convent of the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy at Krakow, Poland, Saint Faustina received apparitions from Jesus and Mary that would form the basis of the Divine Mercy movement. Not long after Faustina’s death in 1938, a young Karol Wojtyla – the future Saint John Paul II – would sometimes stop and pray in the same chapel after ending his day working at a nearby quarry. After surviving both the Nazi occupation and Communist control, Wojtyla became pope, and canonized Faustina in 2000.
In that quiet place, she would pray
Just before things erupted again.
There, the veneer disappeared
And the Source gave advice on how to survive
During times of enemy domination.
In that holy place, he would pray
After long days working the quarry.
(There, did you sense what’s ahead?
Did God ever whisper about what you’d do
In that time of hostile occupation?)
In this broken place, we must work
Listening for Your voice in the noise,
Here, the struggle continues
And we look to our guides to help us persist
In this time of ongoing devastation.
