Słuchać Boga i budować wspólnotę. Tajemnica życia sł. Bożej Józefy Joanny Hałacińskiej
Listening to God and building community. The mystery of the life of the Servant of God Józefa Joanna Hałacińska

Summary/Abstract: Józefa Joanna Hałacińska took her deep faith in God and the supernatural view of the world from her family home. Following the voice of the Lord required from Joanna overcoming many difficulties. Her final decision was made on May 14, 1887, when she entered the cloistered Franciscan Sisters in Kęty, and then the Seraphic Sisters. For many years she felt God’s command to found a congregation in which the Passion of Christ would be venerated in a special way. This commandment was so clear and strongthat she was forced to present it to the religious superiors. In a short time, she received in response a rescript from the Holy See dated July 13, 1918, permitting the founding of the Congregation. Seeing this as an expression of God’s will, she undertook the work of founding the Congregation of Passionist Sisters. She placed the suffering Christ at the center of the spirituality of the Congregation. Gazing with love at His Face, Mother perceived the unique value of every man redeemed by the Blood of Christ, therefore she wanted the Sisters to participate as much as possible in the work of salvation of all people through prayer, work, andsacrifice. Józefa Joanna Hałacińska died in Płock on 9 February 1946.
