Yes, getting up early this morning was a struggle for some of us, myself included, but needless to say it was worth it. After our early wake-up and a quick breakfast we were already on the road to Jasna Gora before the sun even came up.
Jasna Gora is the "spiritual capital" of Poland. In its monastery chapel sits the throne of Poland's only queen in history, The Black Madonna of Czestochowa. It is the most visited shrine in all of Poland and now I understand why: she is Poland's and Poland's Beloved Son's (JPII) protector.
