Today we celebrate the feast of the Most Holy Name of Jesus, and we hear in the Gospel the description of the circuмcision of our Lord Jesus Christ. And Holy Church directs our thoughts toward the first drops of the most precious blood. Blood through which we have been redeemed; blood which we venerate as the price of our salvation; blood without which none of us, my dear ones, can enter heaven.

My beloved, in today’s lesson taken from the Acts of the Apostles, we hear the words of the first Pope, Saint Peter—words that are very hard for us to understand, which shatter our liberal conception of the Catholic faith: "There is no salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given to men whereby we must be saved." We have become accustomed to thinking that many religions exist. Time and again, we hear about interreligious dialogue, ecuмenical meetings, and the idea that every person has the right to choose a religion for themselves. In all of this, my dear ones, for several decades—since the time of the unfortunate Second Vatican Council—we have been soaking.

This is constantly repeated to us; this is constantly pushed into our heads: ecuмenism, religious freedom, human rights, the right to profess a religion chosen by man. And all of this, my dear ones, simply does not fit. It stands in total contradiction to what we heard a moment ago from Saint Peter: "There is no salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given to men whereby we must be saved." So how is it, in the end? How is it with this religious freedom, with interreligious dialogue, with ecuмenism? What is this all about? Who is right? Is it the modern hierarchs, or Saint Peter? Is there salvation outside the Catholic Church? Does every person truly have a right, resulting from human dignity, to believe in whatever they want?

Dear faithful, we must realize what religion is—what religion actually is. When our first parents, Adam and Eve, committed original sin, they rebelled against the Lord God; in their pride, they rejected God's law and God's will; they desired to become as gods, to decide for themselves what is good and what is evil. Consequently, they lost paradise. They lost friendship with the Lord God, they were exiled from paradise, and humanity plunged for long centuries into the darkness of sin and error. Between the Divine Majesty offended by human sin and fallen humanity, a chasm was formed. A chasm that no man was able to cross. For no man was able to make reparation to the offended Divine Majesty for sin. Every human sin, starting from original sin, offends the Lord God.

And it required, my dear ones, the action of God Himself to change this pitiable situation for us humans. It was necessary for the Second Person of the Most Holy Trinity, our Lord Jesus Christ, to take on human nature and be born in Bethlehem to complete the mystery of salvation and redemption. Our Lord Jesus Christ repeats many times in the Gospel: "My hour has not yet come." That hour for which the Lord Jesus came into this world and took on human nature is 3:00 PM on Good Friday, when on the altar of the Cross He offered Himself as a propitiatory sacrifice for our sins. Through this sacrifice, through the blood shed by Jesus Christ on the Cross, we were redeemed. The debt that we humans incurred toward the Lord God by committing sins was paid. The Lord Jesus took upon His shoulders all the sins of the people who ever lived in the world. He is our Redeemer, the one who paid our debt, who took this guilt upon Himself. He is our Savior, the one who delivers us from the slavery of evil, darkness, error, and sin, and leads us to His kingdom—the Kingdom of God, the kingdom of light and holiness.

Religare means "to bind anew." And such is the meaning of religion. Religion is the action of God Himself, who enters human history in order to lift up fallen man, to bring him back to Himself, and to bind him to Himself anew. This, my dear ones, is religion: the action of God who enters the history of man to redeem man, to raise man up, to bring him and bind him to Himself anew, so that we might regain, my dear ones, what we lost as a result of sin.

When we realize this, it will then become clear to us that there exists only one religion. There is no such thing as other religions. There exist, my dear ones, only pseudo-religions—false religions that are the work of the devil. The devil, who creates various pseudo-religions in order to draw people away from the true religion, the religion of Christ, and to lead them onto the path that leads to eternal damnation. There is no such thing, my dear ones, as religious freedom or the right to choose a religion—that which has been preached to us for several decades, which the Second Vatican Council and the post-conciliar hierarchy have preached. There is no right to religious freedom. There is something completely the opposite: there is a duty for every person to worship the true God. A duty weighing upon every person to be a follower of the true Divine religion—a religion being the work of God, and not a wretched counterfeit coming from the devil.

Therefore, there is no place, my dear ones, for any interreligious dialogue, because there exists one and only one Divine religion, which everyone has a duty to accept. Everyone has a duty to become its follower. Every person has a duty to worship the true God and not to bow down to idols. And there are no exceptions here. My dear ones, we humans are not in some restaurant where we have a menu and can choose what suits us, what fits us. Every person has an absolute duty to worship the true God—and not in just any way, in whatever way, but exactly in the way the Lord God established: through the Most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the Mass of all time. It is not my choice or yours that I happen to like the Mass of all time. No, it is your duty—a fundamental, first, primary duty. You are to give to God what belongs to the Lord God: give Him glory, honor, and participate in the propitiatory sacrifice for your sins. This is not a restaurant menu. The Catholic religion is not just one of many items on a menu. It is the primary duty of every person to become a Catholic and to zealously practice the Catholic religion, because it is the only way that leads to heaven.

To heaven—and to get there, one must be a Catholic. In heaven, you will not meet, my dear ones, souls who did not convert to the Catholic religion. "There is no other name under heaven given to men whereby we must be saved." And the Catholic Church—priests, bishops, popes—understood this perfectly for 2,000 years. That is why missionaries went into the whole world, into storms, into the unknown, risking their health and their lives, in order to snatch souls from the clutches of the devil and lead them to the true God. How many missionaries shed their blood carrying the light of the Gospel to the ends of the earth? They did this because they were perfectly aware that professing the Catholic faith is absolutely necessary to achieve salvation.

Just before His Ascension, the Lord Jesus gave the apostles a command: "Go into all the world and teach all nations." All means all. And meanwhile, several years have already passed since the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith issued a statement that the Church is renouncing its mission toward the Jews, because the Jews have their own path leading to salvation. What "own path"? Where is this path supposed to lead? The Lord Jesus said clearly: "No one comes to the Father except through me. He who is not with me is against me." And further, the Lord Jesus addressed the apostles with the words: "He who believes and is baptized shall be saved; he who does not believe shall be condemned." Between these words of the Savior, it is impossible to squeeze in any ecuмenism, any ecuмenical meetings, any supposedly interreligious dialogue, or any religious freedom. It is either/or. Either you will believe, you will worship the true God, and you will save your soul and merit the reward of eternal life in heaven, or you will reject the true religion, despise the Savior, and condemn yourself to eternal damnation in hell.

This whole ecuмenism, these ecuмenical meetings—soon these gatherings will begin, they will announce a week of prayer for Christian unity, a day of Judaism, a day of Islam. This is, my dear ones, nothing other than blasphemy against God. An offense to God. An offense to the Divine Majesty. Spitting in the Savior's face. Confirming those who err in their error, and those who sin in their sin. They will embrace each other, hold hands, invite pastors to bless the people. This is one great offense to God. This is a sin that cries out for punishment to heaven, which deserves punishment, because it is modern idolatry. There is no name other than the name of Jesus in which salvation can be achieved. There are no exemptions for the false idol Allah, nor for Pachamama, nor for other demons. Holy Scripture says clearly: Omnes dii gentium sunt daemonia. All the gods of the heathens are demons. He who does not worship the true God, who does not worship the Most Holy Trinity, worships demons—consciously or unconsciously, indirectly or directly.

Dear faithful, on this feast of the Most Holy Name of Jesus, we must express deep gratitude toward the Savior that He did not hesitate to take on our human nature, that He stretched out His holy and venerable hands on the wood of the Cross for our salvation. We must express gratitude toward the Savior for enabling us to use the fruits of redemption, for establishing the Catholic Church, for establishing the Most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, and for establishing the seven sacraments through which our souls are strengthened by Divine grace. The Lord Jesus did not leave us as orphans. He is among us and desires, my dear ones, that all people know and love the true God.

And when we realize this, at the same time we should—when we realize what is happening in the modern world—we should fall on our knees, beat our breasts, and cry out for God's mercy. For the fact that so many, my dear ones, commit idolatry today and blaspheme God; that so many supposed Catholics today confirm those who sin in their sin; that since the time of the Second Vatican Council, instead of leading people to the true God, without whom there is no salvation, they confirm non-believers and followers of false religions in what they do. It is taught that all religions lead to God. No, my dear ones, there is one—one and only one Divine religion that leads to the true God, that leads to heaven—and thousands of false pseudo-religions that are the work of the devil.

Enough blasphemies! Enough of this great blasphemy which constitutes the fundamental sin of the Second Vatican Council and what happened after it. The rejection of the dogma Extra Ecclesiam nulla salus—outside the Church there is no salvation; the preaching that there are many paths to God, to heaven—a disgusting lie, a disgusting blasphemy that leads millions of souls to hell.

How great a grace it is today, my beloved, to be a Catholic. An indescribable grace that has been granted to you. The opportunity to know the true Catholic faith and the opportunity to worship the Lord God in the way a Catholic ought to do. But how great a responsibility. We should, my dear ones, beg for mercy for these disgusting sins resulting from post-conciliar ecuмenism, from these "joyful meetings" with lady pastors, from this masquerade, from these conventions, which are an offense to God and a source of great confusion. And we must ask, my dear ones, on this feast of the Most Holy Name of Jesus, that we persevere in the Catholic faith until death. Saint Paul writes: "He who stands, let him take heed lest he fall." Because many traditional Catholics have become infected with the virus of liberalism. They live in the conviction that one must somehow reconcile the Catholic religion with the modern world. We cannot be "too radical"—but that is precisely what Jesus Christ calls us to, He who is not one of the options on a menu in a restaurant. He is the only Savior of every person. Whether anyone likes it or not, whether they want it or not, without Jesus Christ there is no salvation.

And we must, my dear ones, remind ourselves of this, because it is not impossible that, surrounded by the pressure of the modern world, under the pressure of this liberal Catholicism that poisons minds, we too, my dear ones, have forgotten that there is no salvation without Jesus Christ. A great danger for every person: liberal Catholicism, a counterfeit of Catholicism. May we not let ourselves be caught in this devilish net. May we persevere in the Catholic faith. May we, my dear ones, depart from this world with the name of Jesus on our lips. The Most Holy Name, the name of the Savior. May we, my dear ones, be able to utter it at the hour of our death. If we ourselves were unable, may there be no lack at our deathbed of people close to us who will speak this name, so that it accompanies us at the moment of departing from this world. The sweetest name in this world, the name of the Savior, the name that gives hope.

But to die, my dear ones, with the name of Jesus on one's lips, one must earn it. One must pray for the grace of a good death throughout one's whole life. And for this grace we also desire to ask today, realizing how the Savior is mistreated, how His name is mistreated also by Polish Catholics. Let us always speak this name with love, with reverence, with trust, and let us speak this name as often as possible in short aspirations. Not only in the morning and evening when we say our prayers, but let it accompany us every day of our lives. Let us call upon the Savior. Let us ask for preservation in the Catholic faith. And the fact that we profess it today does not mean at all that we will persevere in this faith. How many, my dear ones, have lost the faith in recent years? Millions, tens, hundreds of millions of souls throughout the whole world who have lost the faith, who are walking the path that leads to the fire of hell.

How greatly we should fear and strive for the salvation of our own souls. May we, my dear ones, all here present, persevere in the Catholic faith, and may we depart from this world with the sweetest name of Jesus on our lips. Amen. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
