Licheń retreat of the Apostolate of Jesus and Mary, December 10-12, 2021

Why exactly Licheń? “When I was in Medjugorje in October, I asked God for a place. It was he who indicated Lichen. This is a very Marian time. On December 10, the Blessed Virgin Mary of Loreto is commemorated, and on December 12 - Our Lady of Guadeloupe. So we are glad that we can be here in such beautiful conditions.

Mary changed my life. Cardinal Wyszyński said that he put everything on Mary. Today, after a few years, I can say that I bet everything on the Queen of Peace. I used to work for 10 years in a corporation in the entertainment industry. I did not live with God then, I was building on sand. " - says Mr. Szymon Grzechulski. In 2015 he became seriously ill - leukemia was suspected. Lying on the hospital bed, he talked to God. He accepted His will - even if it were death.

“I prayed: if you want to give me a second chance, I would like to do something for you. And this is how the Apostolate of Jesus and Mary was created. In the beginning there was a music band. God chose people with whom he managed to record 10 albums in six years. I took the team to Medjugorje, which I fell in love with when I was there for the first time in 2013. The decision to Medjugorje was made during the pilgrimage to the Holy Land. When telling the story of my life, I heard that I should go there. I was skeptical because the Vatican did not yet recognize the apparitions there. In a very short time, a homeless person whom I bought something to eat told me that Mary was inviting me there. I don't believe in cases. I let the Mother of God lead me, ”recalls Mr. Szymon. Since then, he has made 30 pilgrimages to Medjugorje and for several years he has also organized pilgrimages for groups (Look here).
