Częstochowa
Jasna Góra Monastery
On Jasna Góra the icon of the Black Madonna is unveiled and veiled again, as it has been for centuries. The monastery looks over Częstochowa; the chapel holds a silence that Poles carry home like a familiar word. Knights, workers, and families have climbed the hill with the same folded paper of names.
A pilgrim of Palomeya stands in that chapel with your names. The Mass is heard, the candle left, the visit completed in person. Palomeya does not act for the Pauline fathers. It sends a traveller who will be there when the covering is lifted and will leave when the hymn is done.
