Fr. Lucjan Szczepaniak, chaplain of a children's hospital and a doctor by profession, has been exploring the mystery of suffering for years. His poetry is an attempt to understand what is incomprehensible and to give a voice to those who suffer the most. The poems contained in the collection are full of expression and emotion, touching the deepest corners of the human soul. The priest-poet, witnessing the children's experience of Calvary, realized the truth that in reality the only beings entitled to speak about the unearned suffering of children are themselves. Therefore, in his poetry, he often gives them a voice, conveying their message or showing the beauty of their soul.

The Księży Sercanów Publishing House presents a collection of poems that is a testimony of faith, hope, and love. It is a book that encourages reflection on the meaning of life and suffering, and also teaches humility and compassion. For suffering children only lift the veil of this unfathomable mystery to those who are direct witnesses of their pain and are determined to stay with them until the end. These children can then become the brightest light for adults on the paths of incomprehensible suffering. The reflection of this light has been captured in the expressive poems, which are primarily a prayer, a conversation with God.
