What’s Included
When you’re really tired — not just physically, but deep inside — only Jesus can give the kind of rest that brings peace. This October 2026, we are journeying into the heart of Divine Mercy. We will walk through places where mercy was lived, tested, and proclaimed:
• The Divine Mercy Sanctuary in Krakow, where St. Faustina heard Jesus say, “The greater the sinner, the greater the right to My mercy.”
• Wadowice and Krakow, where St. John Paul II learned courage through suffering.
• Auschwitz, where St. Maximilian Kolbe chose love in the face of hatred.
• The Infant Jesus of Prague, reminding us to trust with childlike faith.
• Medjugorje, where Mary gently calls her children back to prayer and peace.

Its medieval ramparts encircle the city which can be entered through two main gates, crossing a stone bridge under the watchful gaze of the city’s main artery, lined with graceful stone palazzos where people both work and live. “Those who seek paradise on earth”, George Bernard Shaw once wrote, “should come to Dubrovnik”. Dubrovnik is not only Croatian treasure, but one of the world’s treasures, a fact that was officially recognized when the United Nations declared it a World Cultural Heritage Site.
