– Is it She, the Jasna Gora’s Queen of Poland, who forms the Polish nation for centuries and generations, both in homeland and abroad. It is Her image, of Our Lady of Czestochowa, Black Madonna, that is present in our homes, in our hearts. She makes us aware and constantly reminds us of who we are, from where is our nation – accented Archbishop of Miami.
