On Sunday, the 9th of December 2012, at 8:45 A.M., when the celebration of the Holy Eucharist had ended, and the priests had left for the sacristy, a 58 year-old man, attempted to damage seriously the Miraculous Icon of Our Lady of Czestochowa at the Jasna Gora Shrine in Poland. He jumped over the barrier and forced his way towards the altar.
This is a great sign that the Icon of Our Lady of Częstochowa in its peregrination across the world arrived in the shrine of Lourdes exactly on the 8th of December, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It seems that Our Lady Herself wanted it because the organisers had not been able to plan the date earlier due to enormous distances and the sequence of meetings in 22 countries.

On Friday, the 30th of November, at 5 PM Our Lady of Częstochowa arrived in Baillet-en-France, 30 kms north of Paris, where there is a monumental statue of Our Lady of France. The Częstochowa Icon was placed in the oratory where there had gathered the Chaldeian community living in the neighbouring town of Sarcelles. A lot of them came. Chaldeians often come to Baillet. They pray in Arameic, the language of Jesus Christ.
I am just passing exit numer 9, coming in 10 minutes – says Bernard on the phone. There is a traffic jam on the highway. It is Thursday evening. We are waiting with Father Tomasz at a petrol station – he has his Honda Rebel, me – a car, and we are trying to see in the darkness the characteristic shape of the “Life Mobil”.
