This simple November question that opens the conversation with God can be posed by looking at the resting place of our servant of God, sister Dulcissima Hoffmann.
Dozens of lamps, fresh flowers – all this testifies to the vivid memory of my sister, who was only three years old here in Brzezie. How many people stand at her mortal resting place here and now, brought by a hope that is sustained from generation to generation and never goes out. The sister is here and now.
This conviction, very vivid, brings the faithful to this place from near and far. Really many people stand in front of her tomb in person, regardless of the time of day or night. We receive a lot of e-mail messages, phone calls and prayer requests, which allows our community to be in the “Dulcissima Prayer Emergency”. And people write and share their experiences:
It often happens that the impulse to come to Sr. Dulcissima is an article in a newspaper, a heard testimony or even a random conversation.
I AM ASKING FOR HELP… In praying for a MIRACLE OF HEALING for Ahimek’s father… PLEASE… He is in the intensive care unit in Czeladź .. And we cannot be with him. My heart is breaking (Dagmara).
I would like to ask you for a novena prayer through the intercession of Sr. Dulcissima for the grace of healing for Isabella who is seriously ill and who is in a coma in a hospital. I live in Germany (Isabella).
Forgive me for my mistakes in Polish because of my polish writing difficulties… I am asking for prayer and a scrap of material touched on the Sister’s grave (Martin from Brazil).
I had to come here. I dreamed of S. Dulcissima and she assured me that she would take care of me (Emilia from Belgium).
Where is Sr. Dulcissima?
Close to God who, in his goodness, uses the person of God’s handmaiden to bring to himself souls seeking and thirsting for grace.
Lord, the deaf regain their hearing and the blind eyesight, no one has yet left unheard of from the tomb of your servant. And do not despise my prayer, but deign to hear it. Amen.
Where is Sr. Dulcissima?
She herself betrays the desire and confidence of heaven, clearly naming her expectations: See you in heaven! I am happy to go to my Father’s house and I still want to help.
It is worth making friends with Sister Dulcissima, who is here and now, close to God and still willing to help.
Prayer:
I come to you, my sister Dulcissima, to ask you for advice and help. You were always in a hurry to help other people. You carried their burdens and led them to Heaven. I know that you will hear my request, therefore I am asking you with confidence, obtain for me God’s grace … and lead me on a straight path to Heaven. Amen.
In the Brzezie religious community, we pray a novena every day through the intercession of the servant of God, Sr. Maria Dulcissima Hoffmann, including all the intentions entrusted to us.
I invite you to pray together with a novena.
Dear Sister, Dear Brother!

I am very happy and thank God and the superiors of our Congregation for a year break in my mission work, I can go again to missionary work, this time not in Tanzania but in the Philippines in Manila. In the present time of pandemic, after a long wait and uncertainty whether I will get permission from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Manila for inssuance by the Embassy of the Philippines in Poland for a visa, I have obtained a written permission. After a few days, I was at the Embassy of the Philippines in Warsaw, I will collect my visa and special entry permit, and on November 12 I will fly to Manila and I will join Sr. M. Klaudia. Together we will conduct missionary works and apostolate among the poorest neighborhoods of Manila.
I am asking everyone to pray not only for themselves but for our missions in the Philippines that we may continue the missionary work of Kosiło and our Congregation.
I cordially greet all the mission friends with my prayers.
May the Name of the Lord be blessed now and forever!

“Let’s share the good! Let all of Poland, and even the world, unite in expressing gratitude for the life and sanctity of John Paul II “- this was the invitation to participate in the action All of Poland sings “Barca”, which is to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the birth of Saint John Paul II
As sisters from the community in Brzezie, we received an invitation to perform Barka from Mrs. Aleksandra Gamrot – the conductor of the “Brzezie Choir” to sing our thanksgiving to God for the gift of such a wonderful man as the Holy Father John Paul II.
Full mobilization and a quick decision to YES to try to meet the challenge.
I immediately thought to prepare this song, more broadly inviting “Barka”, our sisters from Poland and abroad to perform.
Unfortunately, Covid-19 slowed down the pace of the project, but the hope that it will be possible, that I have to, that … why not try to sing together, though separately … it carried me, and here it is! Barka sang with heart and heart, solemnly and with emotion. I would just give Barka a different title: “Seriously Serious in Barka”
And today we can sincerely thank Mrs. Aleksandra, choir Conductor, in Brzezie our Polish and Tanzanian sisters for jointly creating a musical card for John Paul II
Thank you

When you are offended or when you feel offended, normally first reaction is payback or pullback. The attitude of revenge or attitude to pull back arises from the desire to defend yourselves. But they are not the right ways to defend yourselves. One of the ways to defend yourself is to have shock absorbers in you. The best shock absorber against offenses is the right self-esteem. If you know who you are, no one can offend you. The more ignorant you are about yourself, the more you get offended. Find the best in you and that is the best shock absorber.

Because, yes, everything is different this year – so there was no grave blessing in our cemetery. Nevertheless, we lit the lights on our sisters’ graves and prayed for them.
Brother Michael from the Franciscan Friars from the befriended monastery but Ebernach had cards of the sisters from Treis and our Convent in our chapel on the Klosterberg during the Holy Mass for every departed fellow sisters of the congregation.
He brought the following meditation text from Norbert M. Becker for this purpose:
God we entrust you with these sisters. Hold them tight in your arms!
Give them your mercy in the sheltering power of your rest.
God we entrust you with these sisters.
Give them healing of all wounds in the comforting power of your love.
Take them into your peace, give them new life in the glory of your kingdom.
God we entrust you with these sisters.
And we believe your loyalty and hope for the new life on their way to your joy.
Lord give all our departed sisters eternal life and let the perpetual light shine upon them.
Let them rest in your peace!
Sister. M. Felicitas
