Bóg Trójjedyny – źródłem jedności sakramentów wtajemniczenia
Szmulewicz, Henryk (Wydział Teologiczny w Tarnowie, 2008)
The pastoral year 2007/2008 was given the theme „Let’s be disciples of Christ” by Polish Episcopate Conference. The profound meaning contained in the term used for believers as disciples of Christ and, at the same time, a reminder that Jesus Christ is „Good Shepherd”, encourage to reflect upon the sacramental life through which both the Church and individual believers become actual disciples of Christ. In this reflection we remind that particularly the unity between the three sacraments – baptism, confirmation and Eucharist – form the foundation of the Christian way to „being a disciple of Christ” This present study brings to attention the fact that the Christian usage of the term mysterion for three different initiation sacraments underscores the fact that there is an internal ontological link between these Christian sacraments. An important area of this link is meeting the particular God’s persons taking place in each of the mentioned sacraments. The article, in a synthetic manner, illustrates the mystery of the triune God being the source of supernatural power by which the Christian initiation sacraments truly lead a man to „being a disciple of Christ” Furthermore, the article emphasizes that mysterion in the realm of the Christian faith is the notion pointing to the „extension” of the Trinitarian messages in the Church’s mission of salvation. Thus the originality of the mysterion term is inseparably tied to the originality of the entire Christianity for which the foundation is the truth of the triune God. The justification for close unity of the initiation sacraments is the mystery of unity of God’s three persons. Hence „weakening” or even „contradicting” the truth of the supernatural character of the Christian initiation results in the prospect of „being a disciple of Christ” devoid of the redemptive sense. Faith, however, is the fruit of God’s working. It is a gift by grace. It is accepting the personal God, putting trust in Him, believing Him, acknowledging Him to be the highest authority directing my life. This adhering to a Person is followed by accepting the whole truth He communicates and leading one’s life accordingly.

Dialog ekumeniczny jako służba ewangelizacji
Szmulewicz, Henryk (Wyższe Seminarium Duchowne w Koszalinie, 2014)
Chociaż w wielu miejscach na świecie wiara chrześcijańska jest zwalczana i prześladowana, tam, gdzie jest to możliwe, współczesny Kościół stara się wypełnić zadania wynikające z Soboru Watykańskiego II. Jednym z najważniejszych zadań jest dialog ekumeniczny zmierzający do pełnej komunii wszystkich wierzących w Chrystusa. Kościół, podejmując starania w tym zakresie, zdaje sobie sprawę z tego, iż pojednanie jest jednocześnie w samym centrum ewangelizacji. Refleksja zawarta w niniejszym artykule akcentuje wybrane obszary wzajemnego przenikania się wysiłków ekumenicznych z dziełem ewangelizacji. Ukazuje dialog ekumeniczny jako służbę temu dziełu.

Kategoria szczęścia w opisie życia zbawionych w niebie
Szmulewicz, Henryk (Wydział Teologiczny w Tarnowie, 2010)
In his encyclical Spe salvi the Holy Father Benedict XVI noted that there is a mysterious anxiety, even fear of eternal life in the man ‒ the life without end, „The term „eternal life” is intended to give a name to this known „unknown”. Inevitably it is an inadequate term that creates confusion. „Eternal”, in fact, suggests to us the idea of something interminable, and this frightens us; „life” makes us think of the life that we know and love and do not want to lose, even though very often it brings more toil than satisfaction, so that while on the one hand we desire it, on the other hand we do not want it. (No. 12) Therefore, is the man’s situation stripped off any hope? By no means, since Jesus himself overcomes human anxiety and fear, defining the eternal life in the category of joy and happiness: „I will see you again and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you” (John 16:22). This conviction about a close relation between happiness of the saved and their love communion with Christ in heaven has been a constant element of the Church’s teaching and theologians’ reflections over the centuries. Salvation of souls is a happy reward. The grace streaming from the Jesus’ redemption is ultimately aimed at praising God, which at the same time in a perfect manner fills the saved with happiness. Theological reflection being the fruit of cooperation between reason and faith employs a number of terms in order to, at least „in part” bring home the unspoken mystery of all the things that „God has prepared for those who love him” (1 Corinthians 2:9). One of the categories thanks to which this „partial” description of goal is completed, from which the man goes on his way to fulfilling the love commandment is the concept of happiness. This study begins with a brief outline of some philosophical views concerning the essence of human happiness with reference made to the very concept of happiness. Next, the life of the saved in heaven is discussed. Owing to the fact, that the truth about eternal life possesses a very broad thematic range, the reflection focuses around the following four aspects of the happy living of the saved in heaven: the unbroken connection of the saved with the glory of God, the unforfeitable share of the saved in the final victory of Christ over sin, the condition of a perfect relationship of the saved with God Triune and an intimate friendship among the saved – through Christ, with Christ and in Christ.

Love and Truth in Social Involvement of the Church
Szmulewicz, Henryk (The Pontifical University of John Paul II in Cracow, 2012)
This study begins with a brief outline of the essence of the whole encyclical Caritas in veritate. Benedict XVI expresses the desire for „the dialogue with the world”. He understands this dialogue as a special kind of the service of the Church towards eternal love and truth, fully revealed in Christ. The dialogue of the Church with the world, in the spirit of love and truth, is accomplished every day at the level of so-called official relations. There are numerous opinions that in the past the Church repeatedly neglected the dialogue with the world. Indeed, the Church historians point out the existence of examples of the fall of the authority of the Holy See in particular countries and circumstances. Similarly, the Church is the sign of objection in the contemporary world. Instructed by past experiences the Church is aware that what is necessary for the renewal of culture and society, is evangelical love and truth.

Miłość jako forma poznania prawdy o Bożej Opatrzności
Szmulewicz, Henryk (Wydział Teologiczny w Tarnowie, 2008)
Announcing His encyclical – Deus caritas est (25 January 2006) – the Holy Father Benedict XVI indicated, in a sense, the direction of contemporary theological reflection should take. The key of love which was adopted in the Papal message on God and His reference to the entire creation allows deeper and deeper penetration into unutterable mysteries of our faith. Furthermore, the æading of the encyclical Deus caritas est strengthens our conviction that the very love is a means of discovering God and the whole meaning of His Revelation. The Holy Father puts it in the following manner: „Indeed, God is visible in a number of ways. (And because) He loves us, he makes us see and experience his love, and since he has «loved us first», love can also blossom as a response within us” (No. 17). „God is love” (1 John 4, 16) – this constitutes the fundamental message of the Divine Revelation, and at the same time, the fundamental truth about God and His reference to the entire creation. This love-filled concern of God for the whole world and leading it to the ultimate goal is in theology defined with the term Divine Providence. Hence, is it not justifiable that amongst us, believers in Christ, love should become more and more the means of discovering the Divine Providence, since love itself is the essential content of this truth? This present study is an attempt to answer this question. To this end – in the light of the teaching of the Church and theologians» reflections – it first discusses some difficulties which can be run upon by the man in the road to discovering the Divine Providence (solely) by faith. Next, in the light o f the presented reasoning, the argumentation justifying the application of the love category in theological searching related to explanation of the truth about the Divine Providence is analyzed. The study shows love as truly and exceptionally effective means of discovering the Divine Providence being the plan of love.
Negacja objawienia w Chrystusie: modernizm
Szmulewicz, Henryk (Wydział Teologiczny w Tarnowie, 2008)
A hundred years have passed since the Holy Father Pius X announced the encyclical Pascendi dominici gregis – On the Doctrine of the Modernists (8 September 1907). The objective of this study will be an attempted synthetic look on one of the essential issues touched upon in the encyclical, that is, the supernatural character of the revelation in Jesus Christ. In the very Introduction Pius X emphasizes that the decision of its announcement stemmed from the sense of obligation to defend the truth about Jesus Christ. Since the enemies of Jesus strive to „ruin” His kingdom, the Holy Father has an obligation „assigned by Christ (...) of guarding with the greatest vigilance the deposit of the faith delivered to the saints. (...) Wherefore We may no longer keep silence (...) lest the kindness (...) should be set down to lack of diligence in the discharge of Our office” (No. 1) Considering the defence of the Divine Person of Jesus Christ and the supernatural character of the His redemption announced by Pius X in Introduction, this article presents the analysis of selected theological publications which – it appears – provide the basis for formulating the answer to the question what – in the light of the Papal encyclical - the modernist error in the „issue of Jesus” is. In other words, in what way Modernism negates the redemptive nature of the revelation in Christ in the context of the following problems: cognitive capabilities of the man towards the supernatural, relationship between revelation and faith, the presence of Jesus in the mystery of the Church as well as the value of dogmatic definitions. The last part of the reflection is devoted to general conclusions pertaining to the timeless value of the encyclical Pascendi dominici gregis. It may well take another hundred years before the critical reviewing of Pius X ’s encyclical Pascendi dominici gregis becomes less and less controversial, for time grants an opportunity for a new look at what was written in this document – at present – a hundred years ago. As for the problem of Modernism as a way of negating the redemptive revelation in Christ scrutinized in this study, and the encyclical Pascendi dominici gregis announced by Pius X on the subject, it is worthwhile to quote the words of John Paul II:, Also in our times and on many occasion Magisterium voiced a warning against the temptation of rationalism. This is the background against which the statement of the Pope Saint Pius X ought to be viewed, who pointed out that Modernism rests on philosophical theses constituting the demonstration of phenomenalism, agnosticism and immanentism”. (...) Thus, in the past Magisterium of the Church many times and on various occasions expressed its stance on philosophical questions. The contribution made by my Honorable Predecessors is a valuable achievement which must not be forgotten” (nr 54).

Pilne zadanie uczniów Chrystusa: głosić radość Ewangelii we współczesnym świecie
Szmulewicz, Henryk (Wydział Teologiczny Sekcja w Tarnowie Uniwersytetu Papieskiego Jana Pawła II w Krakowie, 2014)
Słychać często opinie ludzi wierzących, skarżących się na brak umiejętności przekazywania innym daru orędzia Ewangelii (np. poszukującym prawdy o Bogu ludziom niewierzącym czy wątpiącym) w sposób dla nich zrozumiały. Dlatego tak ważne jest, aby wobec pojawiających się trudności, nie tracili cierpliwości oraz zawsze liczyli na Bożą pomoc, która niezawodnie jest udzielona, gdyż kwestia poznania prawd objawionych i radość z tego poznania płynąca nie jest sprawą błahą i nieważną. To kwestia zasadnicza w całym dziele ewangelizacji. W tym duchu papież Franciszek w swej adhortacji apostolskiej Evangelii gaudium wzywa wszystkich wierzących do gorliwego zaangażowania się w głoszenie radości Ewangelii. Należy traktować to zadanie jako pilne, biorąc pod uwagę konkretne uwarunkowania codziennego życia we współczesnym świecie. Niniejsze studium jest analizą kilku przykładów wyzwań, które – zgodnie z nauczaniem papieża Franciszka – mogą przyczynić się do wzrostu apostolskiego zaangażowania i zapału, potwierdzając, że głoszenie Ewangelii jest we współczesnym świecie zadaniem pilnym.
Posłuszeństwo jako odpowiedź na dar charyzmatu w Kościele
