“From here [Poland] must go forth the ‘spark which will prepare the world for [Jesus’] final coming’. This spark needs to be lighted by the grace of God. This fire of mercy needs to be passed on to the world.”Pope John Paul II stated this at the consecration of the Divine Mercy Basilica in Cracow, Poland, 2002. He referenced St. Faustina’s “Divine Mercy In My Soul” n. 1732, which states “I [Jesus] bear a special love for Poland, and if she will be obedient to My will, I will exalt her in might and holiness. From her will come forth the spark that will prepare the world for My final coming.”
“We are now facing the final confrontation between the Church and the anti-Church, of the Gospel versus the anti-Gospel. This confrontation lies within the plans of divine Providence; it is a trial which the whole Church, and the Polish Church in particular, must take up. It is a trial of not only our nation and the Church, but in a sense a test of 2,000 years of culture and Christian civilization, with all of its consequences for human dignity, individual rights, human rights and the rights of nations.”Cardinal Karol Wojtyla (then future Pope John Paul II), stated at the Eucharistic Congress, Philadelphia, PA; August 13, 1976, which was two years before he became pope.
