Aby odczynić ciążący na nim urok, mężczyzna wraz ze swoją towarzyszką, N...

Wokół nas ciągle zdarzają się cuda, które tylko nieliczni potrafią dostrzec, wiedząc, jakie jest ich źródło i to, że są dosłownie na „wyciągnięcie” modlitwy. Inni dowiadują się o tym na granicy desperacji, gdy już nie mają siły walczyć i wołają o pomoc. Bóg, który słyszy nasze modlitwy i szczere prośby, słucha i otwiera nam drogę do siebie. Czasem bywa ona wyboista i kręta, czasem bardzo długa – w zależności od tego, na co jesteśmy gotowi w danym momencie, czy potrafimy czyta...

Czasami zabawnych, ale często głębokich i gorzkich.     "Erudycyjny mikst wątków, opowie...
