Please join me in praying that Lithuania will use her new-found freedom wisely and make progress among the nations of the world. sites of interest about Church life there include: www.katalikai.lt [katalikai.lt] www.gailestingumas.lt [gailestingumas.lt] (Vilnius shrine of Divine mercy) www.siluva.lt [siluva.lt] www.ourladyofsiluva.com [ourladyofsiluva.com] www.kryziukalnas.lt [kryziukalnas.lt] (Hill of Crosses) www.piligrimukelias.lt [piligrimukelias.lt] (Catholic pilgrimage sites in Lithuania)

"One day all our ethnic traits ... will have disappeared. Time itself is seeing to this. And so we can not think of our communities as ethnic parishes, ... unless we wish to assure the death of our community."
