Today is the Forth Sunday of Easter, Sunday of a Good Shepherd, and we parishioners of Our Lady of Ostrabrama gathered together at the steps of our closed church to pray. We have come here to this Holy Ground for the seventeenth time already since closing of the church on December 31, 2001.

Our numerous appeals and letters to you asking for opening our church for us have not been answered neither by you yourself nor by any of your subordinates. Are your hearts made out of stone? Are you good shepherds, or maybe the thieves who come to steal, slaughter, and destroy…? Despite your silence, we believe that sooner or later our voices will be heard, because we strongly feel that the great injustice has been done to us.

Today we pray to Jesus, Our Good Shepherd with the words of Saint Faustina: "Lord, give us holy priests; You yourself maintain them in holiness. O Divine and Great High Priest, may the power of Your mercy accompany them everywhere and protect them from the devil’s traps and snares which are continually being set for the souls of priests. May the power of Your mercy, O Lord, shatter and bring to naught all that might tarnish the sanctity of priests, for you can do all things…"

We pray to Merciful God to give America and the whole world only the holy priests and the good shepherds, like Father Pio, like Father Sopocko (confessor of Saint Faustina), like Father Missa (our Pastor). O Lord, please give us Cardinals like Cardinal Wyszynski, who was not only a Great Leader of the Church but also a Great Spiritual Leader of the whole nation.

Jesus, Our Good Shepherd, we come here because we recognize Your voice.

Jesus, our Savior, have mercy on us and on the whole world!

Today is the first Sunday of May, the month of Mary. As usually, we parishioners of Our Lady of Ostrabrama gathered together in front of the closed door of our church to pray. We pray for the PEACE in the world, especially in the Middle East, fulfilling the request of the Holy Father. We still pray for the reopening of our church.

The whole month of May is sacrificed to Mary, Most Holy Virgin and Mother of God. She is a Patron of our church and Mother of the whole Church. Through Her intercession we pray to God for all the blessings, help and protection we need. She is our Mother given to us by Jesus. She is the Queen of Heaven and Earth. She is the House of the Holy Spirit. We love Her and adore Her as Mother of Mercy in Her miraculous image from Ostra Brama, despite the closed door of our church. We love our church because it is Mary’s.

We don’t know what is your relationship with the Mother of God, but we think you don’t have enough love and respect toward Our Lady. We base our opinion on the following facts:

Your Eminence, we ask you to take a moment for reflection over all these matters. We believe that the time has come for a drastic change and true conversion. The images of Mary should be put on the main altars of all churches in the world, and the perpetual Rosaries should be offered to Her for the reparation of the offences against Her Immaculate Heart. The world shall not have PEACE until it turns to Mary.

Peace be with you,

Today is the Seventh Sunday of Easter as well as the second Sunday of May, the month of Mary, and we parishioners of Our Lady of Ostrabrama gathered together in front our closed church to pray. Today is also a Mother’s Day, therefore especially today we came to venerate the Mother of God and Our Mother. By praying the Holy Rosary, Litany, and singing songs, we express our love and faithfulness to Her and to Her Son, our Risen Lord, Jesus Christ. We entrust our earthly mothers, our whole families, and ourselves to the powerful protection of our Heavenly Mother. We continue to pray for the PEACE of the World.

In our special prayers we ask Mary for help in reopening Her church, in which She is waiting for Her children as the Mother of Mercy. We adore Mary with the most beautiful words of Saint Bernard, believing in their power and eternal wisdom:

Your Eminence, may Mary, the Mother of God, open the eyes of your soul and help you acknowledge the rights of every ethnic group to praise God and His Mother in their own languages, in their own churches. In God’s eyes everybody is equal and He understands every language. Do not discriminate certain minorities, do not divide people and create animosity between the church communities, rather do everything possible to unite the church.

Today is the Pentecost Sunday, the third Sunday of May, the Feast of the Holy Spirit, and we parishioners of Our Lady of Ostrabrama came here, to our closed church to give thanks to God for His goodness and mercy, to thank Holy Spirit for the gift of life. We came to pray for reopening of our church, for peace in the world, and for the renewal of the whole Church.

This is not a coincidence that the Feast of the Holy Spirit is usually celebrated in May, the month of Mary, since She is the Bride of the Holy Spirit, the chosen One to be the Most Holy Mother of the Son of God. Therefore we pray to Mary, God’s Mother and our Mother, to intercede for us and defend us against the gates of hell, which are determined to destroy the Church and the World. We ask Our Lady of Ostrabrama, the Mother of Mercy, to protect the whole Church, and to save our small Polish church in Brockton from the destruction, and to bring it back to life. We believe in the power of Divine Mercy and that mercy will be eventually done to the people of this church.

Your Eminence, may the power of the Holy Spirit rest upon you and help you realize the true God’s plan for your Archdiocese. May the Holy Spirit, who allowed Apostles to speak in different tongues, help you understand the needs of all ethnic churches to praise Jesus and Mary in their languages and in the richness of their traditions. We pray to the Holy Spirit that the Catholics in America turn to Mary with greater love and devotion, because according to the words of Mother Teresa, "no Mary, no Jesus".
