When I was very young, without conscience, without freedom, without being able to defend myself, one of them made me a child of God, heir of eternal life, temple of the Holy Spirit and a member of the Church, I can never forgive them for doing me so much good.

…

Others abused me by giving me books to read, it was not enough for them all their advice, that made me look to eternity and live as a stranger on earth. Who can take away now from my head the four gospel? The Glories of Mary? The Imitation of Christ? The Confessions? etc., Who can cure me of all those treasures that have marked me forever?

Let us beware of dealing seriously with them, not give them our data and do not look into their eyes, do not consult them for absolutely nothing, let us not follow any of their steps, for then we will risk one day to fall into their traps and be saved forever.

A must read! 🙂
 
Yes,where would we be without these men who sacrificed their wants,needs and desires to try and help us to come to know our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.These Priests teach,encourage,pray for us,edify and correct us.They are a wonderful gift to us from God.The same is true of women Religious.Thanks be to God for all of them.
 
Thank you for the warning… here is another one of those!


At the hour of his death his last message to the abused youth that were crying for him was:
***“I have searched for you, and now you have come to me, and I thank you."

“As the end of my earthly life approaches, I return with my memory to its beginning, to my parents, my brother and the sister (whom I never knew because she died before my birth), to the Parish of Wadowice where I was baptised, to that city I love, to my peers, friends from elementary school, high school and the university, up to the time of the occupation when I was a worker, then in the Parish in Niegowic, to St Florian’s in Kraków, to the pastoral ministry of academics, to the milieu of… to all milieux… to Kraków and to Rome… to the people who were entrusted to me in a special way by the Lord"***
(Last Will and Testament)

Thanks for the thread!
 
Here is my translation with all its limitations. R.P. Gustavo Caro is an excellent writer but with this translation you will get the ideas. 🙂
Cuando era muy niño, sin tener conciencia, sin libertad, sin poderme defender, uno de ellos me hizo hijo de Dios, heredero de la Vida Eterna, Templo del Espíritu Santo y miembro de la Iglesia, nunca podré perdonarle haberme hecho tanto bien.

When I was a very young child, without conscience, without freedom, without being able to defend myself, one of them made me a child of God, heir of eternal life, a temple of the Holy Spirit and a member of the Church, I can never forgive him for doing me so much good.

Otro, insistió en mis años tiernos, en inculcarme violentando mi voluntad, el respeto por el Nombre de Dios, la necesidad absoluta de la oración diaria, la obediencia y la reverencia a mis padres, el amor por mi Patria y me enseñó la utopía de no mentir, no robar, no hablar mal de otros, perdonar y todas esas cosas que nos hacen tan mojigatos y ridículos…

Another, insisted in my tender years, violating my will to instill in me, respect for the Name of God, the obsolute necessity of daily prayer, to obey and honor my parents, love for my country and taught me the utopia of not to lie, steal, to not speak ill of others, forgiveness and all those things that make us so uptight and ridiculous…

Otro apareció aludiendo que el Espíritu Santo, debía venir a completar la obra comenzada en el Bautismo, que me harían falta sus dones y sus frutos, que ya era hora de que viniera en mi ayuda Aquél que me haría defender la Fe, como un soldado ¡Qué osadía hablar en términos tan bélicos!, hizo en esa época que cuidara mi alma de las del mundo, que fuera noble, leal y honesto…

Another appeared, insinuating that the Holy Spirit, must come to complete the work that was started at Baptism, that I would need His gifts and fruits, that is was time to come to my aid He who would make me defend the Faith, like a soldier. What audacity to speak in such warlike terms! He assured at the time that I look after my soul from those of the world, that I be noble, loyal and honest…

Otro abusó dándome libros para leer, no le bastaban sus consejos, que hacían poner la mirada en la eternidad y vivir como extraños aquí en la tierra, ¿Quién sacará ahora de mi cabeza Los cuatro Evangelios?; ¿Las glorias de María?; ¿La Imitación de Cristo?; ¿Las Confesiones?; ¿Las Moradas?, etc., ¿Quién será capaz de curarme de todos esos tesoros que me marcaron para siempre?

Another abused me by giving me books to read, his advice was not enough, which made me fix my gaze on eternity and live as a stranger here on earth. Who can now take out of my head The Four Gospels?; The Glories of Mary?; The Imitiation of Christ? The Confessions?; The Interior Castle?, etc., Who will be capable to cure me of all those treasures that have marked me forever?

Otro abusó de mi ignorancia enseñándome cosas que no sabía, otro no hablaba pero su vida virtuosa me inclinaba cada vez más a imitarlo. Hubo algunos que se aprovecharon de mí en momentos inesperados y me corrigieron, me alentaron y hasta rezaron por mí.

Another abused of my ignorance, teaching me things that I did not know, another did not speak but his virtuous life increasingly inclined me to imitate him. There were some who took advantage of me at unexpected times and corrected me, they encouraged me and even prayed for me.

Continues on next post…
 
Otros, cuando yo ya estaba en un círculo del cual no podía salir, se empecinaron con mi naturaleza caída y me incitaron a recibir a Jesucristo en su Cuerpo y Sangre, para resistir a los embates del enemigo, para fortalecer mi flaqueza y santificarme cada día más. Aunque para aquél que lea esta denuncia, le parezca que esto ya es demasiado y que más bien no se puede hacer, les digo que los abusos siguieron en aumento y todo pasó a mayores, cada vez que conocía a un sacerdote, se aprovechaba de mí con renovados métodos, reliquias, estampas, agua bendita, rosarios, bendiciones y oraciones de todo tipo, armaban una cárcel de tremendos beneficios que llegaron al límite de lo soportable.

Another, when I was in a circle from where I could not escape, insisted with my fallen human nature and prompted me to receive Jesus Christ in his Body and Blood, to resist the onslaught of the enemy, to strengthen my weakness and be sanctify each day more and more. Although for anyone who reads this complaint, it may appear that all this is just too much and not much more good could have been done, I tell you that the abuse continued to increase and they were greater, every time I would meet a priest, he would take advantage of me with renewed methods, relics, pictures, holy water, rosaries, blessings and prayers of all types, they would arm a prison of tremendous benefits that came to the limit of tolerable.

Quiero dejar claro esta injusticia llena de perversidad y que atiendan a mi reclamo en esta denuncia, por que sé que algunos de ellos me estará esperando para seguir con esta iniquidad, sentado en un confesonario o a lado de mi cama cuando esté moribundo y aunque desaparezca seguirán abusando con sufragios por mi alma y súplicas de misericordia.

I want to leave clear this injustice full of perversity and that you heed my claim in this complaint, because I know that some of them will be waiting for me to continue this iniquity, sitting in a confessional or next to my bed when I am dying and even if I disappear they will continue abusing with prayers for my soul and pleads for mercy.

Quiero que se sumen a mi voz todos aquéllos que han sido víctimas de estos atropellos y se han sentido ultrajados por estas personas, pues sé que a otros los han unido en matrimonio, a otros le descubrieron su vocación, a otros hasta llegaron a ayudarlos materialmente o guardaron con llave en su corazón para siempre secretos tremendos de sus miserias humanas.

I want all the voices of those who have been victims of these abuses and have felt outrage from these persons, to be joined with mine, for I know that they have joined others in matrimony, others they have discovered their vocation, others they even came to assist materially or by guarding with keys in their hearts forever tremendous secrets of human misery.

Cuidémonos gravemente de tratar con ellos, no les demos nuestros datos, no los miremos a los ojos, no les consultemos absolutamente nada, no sigamos ninguno de sus pasos, pues corremos el riesgo un día de caer en sus trampas y salvarnos eternamente.

Let us gravely beware of dealing seriously with them, not give them our data and do not look into their eyes, do not consult them for absolutely anything, let us not follow any of their steps, for then we will run the risk of one day to fall in their traps and be saved forever.

Whew! I am so glad that this is a positive thread. I honestly thought this thread was going to be negative.
