A  
ALMS

 

After begging alms (jałmużna) for the victims, Gonzaga began working with the sick, carrying the dying from the streets into a hospital founded by the Jesuits.

 

ANGUISH

 

 

It wasn't just places and times that I wanted to be special, and different, and full of character. I wanted the same thing to be true about people. In fact, I assumed that it was true about people, and my slow realization that this was not the case caused me no small amount of anguish (udreczenie, bolesc). I thought that every grown-up had a fully-worked-out theory of life, a grand philosophy. After all, they often acted as though they did.

 

APPARITIONS

[&p.e'ry$*n]

After the apparitions (objawienia), they dedicated their lives to prayer and penance (pokuta) - Lucia until the impressive age of ninety-seven, Jacinta and Francisco until their deaths at the ages of nine and ten.

 

ATTAIN

 

Holiness is achievable - even little children like Jacinta and Francisco could attain (osiagnac) it. Can adults really claim that it is beyond their reach?

 

B  
BALEFUL Let's further suppose that this had no baleful (zgubnych) side-effects.

 

C  
CHINKS

 

Servants would peep through the chinks (szczeliny) in St. Aloysius's door to see him lying before his crucifix.

 

COMPRISE

 

The work is intended to comprise (zawierac), all that it is essential for the general reader to understand the subject.

 

CONSISTENT

 

Fanatics were consistent (konsekwentny). Obsessives were consistent. People who were completely dedicated to some single pursuit, whether it was poetry, mathematics or football, were consistent. And then there were the saints - the saints were consistent.

 

COUNTENANCE

 

oblicze

He was of noble countenance.
 

COPIOUS

 

For those who have time for more extended studies, it may serve as an introduction to other and more copious (obfity) sources of information.

 

CREDULITY

 

Wonder, innocence and a power of imagination that is the flip side of credulity (latwowiernosc).

 

D  
   
E  
EMBODIMENT

 

Just as Santa Claus was the embodiment (personifikacja) of Christmas, and just as the Grim Reaper was the embodiment of death, the saints were the embodiment of the Gospel - living images of Jesus Christ.

 

EMULATE

 

 

We are told that it is the humility (pokora) of children which we are to emulate (nasladowac). This book doesn't focus very much upon miracles or supernatural visions, except as far as they relate to the themes I have chosen. Such wonders are the extraordinary gifts of God, which most Christians will never experience. However, we can and should seek to emulate the saints in the way they lived their lives, and this is what I concentrate on.

 

F  
   
G  
GOSPEL

 

The saints had "transformed the prose of life into poetry". The saints were human beings who had been transformed by Jesus Christ, who had been transformed into images of Christ. Their lives were completely dedicated to one goal - to live out the Gospel (przezywac Ewangelie).

 

H  
   
HUMBUG The four travellers confront the Wizard, who insists that he is a good man at heart, but confesses to being a humbug (oszust).

 

HYACINTH Hyacinth (hiacynt) is a beautiful flower.

 

I  
IMPLORE

 

błagać

 

INADVERTENTLY Dorothy inadvertently (przypadkowo) splashes the Witch, causing her to melt away.

 

INTERCEDE

 

interweniować

 

INTERCESSION

 

Trust in Her maternal care and intercession (wstawiennictwo).

 

J  
JACINTA

 

The Fatima visionaries: St. Jacinta (Hiacynta), Lucia, and St. Francisco. They wanted not only to seek God, but to lead others to God - the Christian God.

 

K  
   
L  
   
M  
MULTITUDE

 

After this I had a vision of a great multitude (mnogosc), which no one could count, from every nation, race, people, and tongue. They cried out in a loud voice: "Salvation comes from our God, who is seated on the throne, and from the Lamb". Revelation 7:9

 

N  
NITPICKY

 

In other words, we must be careful not to become nitpicky (drobiazgowy) ourselves. The action of giving too much attention to unimportant detail.

 

O  
OBLIVIOUS

 

They found her lost in prayer, completely oblivious (nieswiadoma) to an earthquake what had happened.

 

P  
PAMPERED

 

rozpieszczony

 

PLIGHT

 

 

The older I grew, the more the famous words of St. Augustine described my plight (slubowanie, polozenie): "Lord, you have made us for Yourself, and our hearts are restless till they rest in You" In my early thirties, I began to understand that my deepest hunger was for the sacred - for God.

 

PRIGGISH

 

The childhood of St. Aloysius may seem priggish (zarozumialy), cold and excessive in its piety to us. But let us remember the words of Oscar Wilde: "Nothing succeeds like excess".

 

Q  
   
R  
RELENTS Dorothy is initially denied an audience with the Wizard by his doorman, but the doorman relents (ustępuje) after hearing that they were sent by Glinda, and the four are led into the Wizard's chambers.
REPAST

 

We enjoyed this delicious repast (biesiada). Jacinta, don't eat that; it's too bitter! But because it's bitter that I'm eating it, for the conversion of sinners.

 

REVELRY

 

All of this - as well as the contrast with the revelry (ucztowanie, hulanie) outside - made this Mass seem solemn (uroczysty) and supernatural.

 

S  
SPITE We can probably all remember acts of cruelty and spite (zlosliwosci) in our childhoods.

 

STRENUOUS He rarely does anything more strenuous than changing the channels on the television.
His doctor advised him not to take any strenuous exercise.
 
T  
TEETER

 

Faith becomes a matter of seminars, retreats, lectures, insights, erudition. With this approach, we teeter towards (chylimy sie ku) gnosticism, the age-old heresy which takes innumerable forms, but which always promises enlightenment through some kind of advanced knowledge.

 

THWARTED Their romance was thwarted (udaremniony) by a selfish old woman who lived with the girl and wanted her to remain at home.
TINDERBOX

 

krzesiwo

 

U  
ULTIMATELY

 

They would be the saints, the ones whose lives had been a success in the only way that ultimately (ostatecznie) mattered (mialo znaczenie). They would be those who could say, like St. Paul, "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith" 2 Timothy 4:7

 

V  
   
W  
WAYWARD

 

If we are tempted to think that our petty (drobne) and selfish and wayward (kaprysne) impulses are too strong, and too many - the stories of saints who have been far from saintly in childhood remind us that this is not so.

John: Hi there, I'm John. Nice to meet you.

Peter: Hi John, I'm Peter. It's nice to meet you too.

John: So, what brings you here today?

Peter: Well, I'm actually looking for a job. I heard there might be some opportunities available here.
