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”.
On the 29th of November in the afternoon the parish of Genlis (In Burgundy, near the city of Dijon, 330 kms to the south-east of Paris) witnessed an unprecedented event – it was visited by the Icon of Our Lady of Częstochowa on it peregrination from ocean to ocean. About 200 people gathered in the church. They came also from the neighbouring parishes.
In the evening the Icon of the Mother of God had to travel over 30 kms. It left the XV district of Paris to go to the parish of St. Geogre in Belloy-en-France, a place in the far north outskirts of the capital, near Chantilly and Senlis. Bernard had been stuck in Paris traffic jams. He came late. There were about on hundred people in the church.
November 26th. Courset. The evening vigil with Emanuel community. „Do not fear to ask for too much.”
About 300 people came to attend the evening vigil at the chapel of the Foyer of Light and Charity. Courset is located far from the busy roads and big cities. A few hundred inhabitants of the village are little interested in this remote place in the big palace park. Therefore the people who came on this Monday evening covered 10, 30 or 70 kms to get here.
