A thought for Lent
"The Savior hangs before you with a pierced heart.
He has spilled His Heart's blood to win your heart.
If you want to follow Him in holy purity,
your heart must be free of every earthly desire.
Jesus, the Crucified, is to be the only object of your longings,
your wishes, your thoughts...
He wants your life in order to give you his."
"Hail the Cross, our only Hope!"
-St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (Edith Stein) -August 9, 1942
Last written words before being sent to the gas chambers of Auschwitz
In 1962, Irv Kloska and Bonnie Kowrach stood in St. Adalbert's Basilica in Grand Rapids and pledged their lives to each other. More than 40 years and 13 children later, their family has grown to more than 70 members... and counting. With this blog we keep in touch and share our thoughts - much like we have always done around our kitchen table. But like our table, friends are always invited. Welcome!
