The prophet Isaiah, hearing the voice of the Lord asking: "Whom shall I send?", answered without hesitation: "Here am I; send me!" (Is 6:8). When Jesus passed by the tax collector Matthew and simply said: "Follow me!", he arose and followed Him (Mt 9:9). The Gospel is full of moments where a single call required an immediate response of the heart.
In 2026, we desire to stand together before God with that same open heart, confessing: "I am ready".
This theme, born during our joint prayers, carries extraordinary depth and ambiguity. What does readiness mean to you at this specific moment in your life? Perhaps it is a readiness to receive His healing Word and start everything anew? Perhaps it is an inner consent to radical changes to which the Holy Spirit is inviting you? Or maybe it is keeping watch with a burning lamp (Mt 25:4), in full hope and readiness for the second coming of the Lord?

My name is Gosia and I am 17 years old. I was at the Forum on Saturday. I wanted to share my testimony. For a very long time (practically since childhood) I had big problems with my spine. It often hurt me to the point where it was hard for me to walk, get up from the floor, etc. Sometimes even very strong medications didn't help me. During the intercessory prayer with Fr. Antonello I felt a wave of heat flowing through my spine from top to bottom. Since Saturday I haven't felt any pain in my spine, not when I get up, not when I walk, etc. I wanted to thank you for this event and for the way it was held.
A few days before the Forum, I developed an inflammation in both shoulders - the pain was terrible, the worst was when I went outside and there was a change in temperature, the pain was unbearable, like someone was tearing my muscle from my neck to my shoulder. I couldn't raise my arms higher than shoulder level and every feeding and carrying of my 5-month-old daughter caused me immense pain. At the Forum, I specifically wanted to stay for the prayer for healing so that someone designated for this could pray for me - unfortunately, I somehow missed it due to taking care of my two daughters - at some point...
We have been married for 22 years and have 4 children. 6 years ago, we experienced the loss of our youngest son, carried then by the prayer of the Church, we experienced an immensity of love and grace thanks to loving people from our circle, from the Domestic Church community, other communities of our Dominican parish, fathers, priests, and many other good people who interceded for us. However, for a long time, our relationship had been drifting apart... I gave up, and Maciej, afraid of confrontation, couldn't initiate a dialogue. Finally, the decision matured in him to cut this abscess... On October 21st, on a Monday after returning from Warsaw, he informed me that he was moving out, that he was ready for a divorce, and that the only chance was marriage counseling... A shock... On Thursday, there was supposed to be another rehearsal at our house for the Forum... I saw no chance to undertake this work, to serve with prayer and song, when our marriage was hanging by a thread... how??? I canceled the rehearsal, constantly praying for God's action... for light on what to do next, for a solution... I scheduled a consultation for us at the Donum Vitae Foundation counseling center, but the earliest available appointment was after the Forum... In the meantime, God...
