The patron saint of the Czech land brought an important message. He didn’t come because maybe now would be the worst, on the contrary. “I heard a voice reaching the heavens, how many of you complain about the bad times, curse yourself with poverty and how they almost have to suffer from hunger and cold. Is this what you really think? “Remember your grandfathers and great-grandfathers, how they lived and what suffering they endured, and you will quickly realize that bad times really look different,” he said.
He therefore exhorted people to leave behind lamentations and poisonous words and rather learn to give thanks. “Drive envy and hatred out of your midst, and I believe you will have an easier life,” added the saint in his speech to about a hundred locals.
