Every saint canonized by the Church is unique through their life and message. St. Andrew Bobola is a shining example among them since the initiative for his canonization process did not stem from the faithful in as much as from the saint himself appearing after his death and asking for it. His request was confirmed thanks to his efficacious aid of the Jesuits in Pińsk, and later during Poland’s liberation from the occupying forces. In light of these signs, people believed him and greatly honored his body which miraculously did not decay and remained intact even after unsucceful attempts to destroy it. The body lies to this day in the Warsaw Shrine dedicated to him. St. Andrew Bobola’s powerful intersession is still very much needed now for Poland’s spiritual resurrection.References
