Czestochowa Devotion.
"How many problems, Mother, should I not present to you by name in this meeting! I entrust them all to you, because you know them best and understand them. I entrust them to you in the place of the great consecration, from which one has a view not only of Poland but of the whole Church in the dimensions of countries and continents—the whole Church in your maternal heart. I who am the first servant of the Church offer the whole Church to you and entrust it to you here with immense confidence, Mother. Amen." – from Pope St John Paul II's Act of Consecration on 4 June 1979. Today, 28 August is the feast of Our Lady of Czestochowa, and this stained glass window is in Our Lady of the Rosary, the Polish parish in Baltimore, MD.
