“The garnish may change, but the meal is the same, whenever the state supplants God as the greatest object in men’s minds.” Exactly, and the virtue of patriotism is replaced by nationalism, which often leads to conflict.
I have a friend who is from PA. She goes home a couple of times a year to visit family and she always makes a visit to Fr. Ciszek’s grave. She has long been devoted to him. I’d like to visit the museum and grave as well. I’ve handed out his books to my own family members and recommended them to friends.

I too recently read “With God in Russia”. His tribulations make my trials seem even more trivial.
I love Father Ciszek’s books! I re-read “With God In Russia” yearly. It seems that he will not be canonized, and I’m sorry for that.
I agree. Fr. Ciszek was a remarkable man and his story amazes me. I do wonder why he isn’t better known.
I want to go visit his little museum someday! His memory is a blessing to me and countless others…may he never be forgotten!
