God has 'accompanied' Poland often in its history, says Pope Francis

God chose to manifest his power not by amazing feats of greatness but rather through small acts of humility, choosing to enter the world as a child born of a woman, Pope Francis has said.

The Lord’s “humble love” is reflected throughout Poland’s history, particularly through “meek and powerful heralds of mercy,” such as St John Paul II and St Faustina Kowalska, the Pope said at a Mass outside the Marian shrine of Jasna Gora in Czestochowa.

“Through these ‘channels’ of his love, the Lord has granted priceless gifts to the whole Church and to all mankind,” the Pope said.
