of Father Grzegorz Terecki, OSPPE, under the altar of St. Antoni the Abbot in the Chapel of St. Paul the First Hermit. In 1704 his remains were moved to the crypt under the Miraculous Picture chapeland placed in a separate urn in the most honorable place: under the altar of Our Lady and marked with the name of Kordecki. Currently, the urn with ashes is located in the second part of the Chapel of Our Lady, in the side wall, behind the glass. He was an exemplary monk, diligent, skillful and preventative in administration. Courageous and humble, and having a special honor and devotion to the Mother of God. It can be added that the monstrance with which he was to lead the procession during the battles with the Swedes is sometimes used only during the most important holidays. The Swedish Deluge During the Swedish Deluge in 1655, his goal was to protect Jasna Góra from robbery and devastation by the Swedish army. For this purpose, he hid the painting of Our Lady of Częstochowa and placed a copy of it in the chapel. He sent a letter to King Charles X Gustav - now stored in the Stockholm archives, in which he agreed to surrender the fortress in exchange for a guarantee of the sanctuary's integrity. When he did not receive it, he decided to defend Jasna Góra with arms. He commanded the defense of the Jasna Góra fortress throughout the siege: from November 18 to December 27, 1655. In the opinion of prof. Idzi Panic, Fr Augustine acted in a thoughtful manner and turned out to be an effective defender, and the letter to the Swedish king was intended to delay the attack. Mementoes The most valuable mementoes left by father Augustyn Kordecki include: The Golden Monstrance, the so-called Kordecki from 1672 by the artist Wacław Grottke, which was his votive offering to the Mother of God for the victory over the Swedes (Jasna Góra collection); Manuscript - diary, written in Latin from 1655 (collection of the Jasna Góra library); The work "Nowa Gigantomachia" (Latin Nova Gigantomachia ) from 1658 (collection of the Jasna Góra library); Amber rosary with a medallion, with 14 secrets (Jasna Góra collection); Letter to general Burchard Müller von der Lühnen of November 21, 1655 (Archives of the Swedish Kingdom in Stockholm ( Swedish.
