Wspólnotowe i indywidualne formy życia konsekrowanego w jubileuszowym roku 25-lecia diecezji ełckiej (rys historyczny)
Kalinowska, Ambrozja Jadwiga (Wydawnictwo Diecezjalne Adalbertinum, 2017)
here have existed and developed various forms of convent life in the Ełk Diocese for 25 years. The formation of individuals for consecrated life has been continuing as well. First of all, the article outlines the main forms of consecrated life. Next, it presents the activities and achievements in favour of establishing and a proper development of consecrated life forms in the diocese. The structure and people responsible for that accomplishment, as well as the statistics of the congregations and people being part of the consecrated life are presented. The different undertakings and symposiums, prayer and educational meetings and other forms of support are mentioned. Bishop Edward Samsel, who has been responsible for the diocese’s consecrated life, as well as having been Chairman of the Episcopal Commission of Poland for Institutes of Consecrated Life, has played a huge role in that respect. The carried out analysis has allowed to determine that consecrated life forms have been deeply rooted and imprinted in the foundation and structure of the diocese.
Caritas dla przyszłości. Wyzwania i szanse kościelnej działalności charytatywnej
Przybyłowski, Jan Kazimierz (Wydawnictwo Diecezjalne Adalbertinum, 2017)
The article presents the theory and practice of Caritas Church’s. This is the joyful service, so selfless assistance to people in need. Caritas Church’s belongs to the Church and is an inalienable nature of this creatures. This differs from social welfare an humanitarian activities. Caritas Church’s first solidary action, which aims to help people suffering from scarcity. The second task is the education of people to benefit from the joy of human, which is a gift from God. The third task is the orientation for human life of God. The purpose of these task is to build the community of Christ, the second person and with the Church. The charity is love. Man can pursue it, if a man will have „the heart of the which sees”, where the need for love and works consistently. In the spirit of the Gospel of Christ also requires assisting natural prevention and education charity, practise and great experience.
Emancypacja, cyfrowy świat i obiektywna prawda. Refleksje nad ostatnim ćwierćwieczem Polski i Kościoła
Grzybowski, Jacek (Wydawnictwo Diecezjalne Adalbertinum, 2017)
Year 2017 marked the 25th anniversary of the bull Totus Tuus Poloniae populus promulgated on 25 March 1992, with which John Paul II reorganized the administrative structure of the Roman Catholic Church in Poland. The document sanctioned the elevation of 14 new dioceses in Poland. The 25th anniversary, like any other for that matter, is urging us to carefully evaluate the past years, as well as to ask questions about the near future of the Polish Church. To better understand changes that have taken place in that period of time, let us imagine the average 25-year-old boy and the average girl of the same age: who are they, how do they live, what do they do? Most probably, they are still students, they work or are looking for a job. They may have a wife, a husband, or a partner with whom they live together without marriage, despite their being Catholics who had Religious Education as a mandatory subject starting (as required in accordance with the instruction of Ministry of National Education issued on 30 August 1990) in the first grade of primary school. There is a substantial probability that these average young people have emigrated and having found abroad better job and better perspectives do not want to come back. Perhaps they are very religious and live out their faith and their national affinity consciously. It is probable that such people tell us more than official statistics does about directions and trends, values and priorities that are recognisable and prevailing in Polish society and the Polish Church. 25-year anniversary cannot only be the occasion for celebrating, it should also become an opportunity to seriously reflect on the past and on the challenges of the future. In the context of the anniversary of the reorganization of Polish dioceses we should ask ourselves some important questions: how to resist the negative aspects of the digital revolution? How it can be showed that a good and happy life should be built not on egoistic impressions, but on clear moral norms that delineate the categories of good and evil? How is Christian ethos to be sustained in the modern era, whereas preservation of clearly defined models and principles is impeded by consumptionist logic that entails the illusion of achieving satisfaction through „devouring the world”?
Rodzicielstwo jako wspólne zadanie rodziny i Kościoła
Skreczko, Adam (Wydawnictwo Diecezjalne Adalbertinum, 2017)
Parenthood is given and assigned first to parents, but also to all communities which are concerned with children’s upbringing. One needs to take into account the country, which acts through education, but also the media. One cannot forget the Church either. This paper shows the church’s support for the contemporary family in fulfilling parental duties. Church’s service in that respect is not limited to the activities of the clergy, but is a sum of numerous initiatives undertaken by the laity involved in the Family Ministry.
Rozwój świętości kapłana poprzez formację permanentną
Urbański, Stanisław (Wydawnictwo Diecezjalne Adalbertinum, 2017)
The priest’s permanent spiritual formation is supposed to lead him to a mystic unification. That is why the article ascertains that the mystic unification achieved by the presbyter is a source of his sainthood and his pastoral love, and betrothed love for the Church. It signifies the presbyter’s sainthood process, consisting in the development of supernatural virtues and gifts of the Holy Spirit. It also represents the undertaking of the spiritual struggle against the flaws, effects of the original sin. At the same time, an active and passive cleansing occurs in the process. The whole process has to mirror Jesus’ attitudes and deeds as Servant, follow his example in the attitude, development of love, and humble service towards every human being. Thus, the priest’s permanent formation is a source and driving force of pastoral service. It should be noted that the process of the priest’s mystic sainthood is not presented in seminaries, instead an ascetic model is propagated.
Formy przygotowania do kapłaństwa na przestrzeni wieków
Adamiak, Stanisław (Wydawnictwo Diecezjalne Adalbertinum, 2017)
Although attending the priest seminary became absolutely obligatory only with the Council of Trent, it cannot be said that there had been no forms of preparation to the priesthood in earlier times. In the Middle Age, the candidates were generally prepared in the cathedral and monastic schools. Earlier, some kind of internship was envisaged, particularly by the functions performed while in lower grades. The monks were also seen as perfect candidates for ordination. However, it was always difficult to find the right balance between the pastoral needs for ordaining new clergy and the moral and intellectual qualifications required of them.

Sobolewski, Zbigniew (Wydawnictwo Diecezjalne Adalbertinum, 2017)
Caritas of Elk Diocese celebrates the 25th anniversary of its activity. From the beginning it helps in a material and spiritual way to the poor and to those who are in need. Caritas runs many specialist units. Caritas takes care of the development of Caritas units in schools and in parishes in its diocese.

Na peryferiach ubóstwa. Posługa charytatywna Caritas Diecezji Ełckiej w latach 1992-2017
Sawicki, Ryszard (Wydawnictwo Diecezjalne Adalbertinum, 2017)
Caring about the poor and people in need has always been and should remain the domain of the Church activity and the characteristic of a Christian. In the Diocese of Ełk, the Caritas is the main ecclesiastical institution for the assistance of the poor. Its mission is to provide people in difficult situations with spiritual and material assistance. The article makes a presentation of the Ełk Caritas’ establishment and legal basis, objectives and tasks, organizational structures, brief timetable, as well as of selected Caritas posts and their forms of activity. In the Ełk Church, providing charitable service has always been a current pastoral challenge. The Ełk Caritas, following Pope Francis’ call, goes to the periphery of poverty to carry the light of the Gospel there.
Psychologiczne czynniki ułatwiające i utrudniające formację kapłańską
Zarzycka, Beata (Wydawnictwo Diecezjalne Adalbertinum, 2017)
The present paper is aimed at presenting selected psychological factors which may facilitate formation to the priesthood and those which may hinder seminary formation and the subsequent life of the priest. I separated two potential sources of hindrances: factors of a psychological nature and traits of personality. I proved that deficiencies in religious life and lack of support in the priestly community are the reason of high anxiety and depressive states in clergy. As for personality, I indicated emotional instability, introvertive tendencies, high selfreliance and autonomy, difficulties in accepting authority and inclination to dissimulation – as factors which hinder the fulfillment of vocation to the priesthood.
Analiza współczesnego i poszukiwanie nowego modelu formacji kapłańskiej w WSD w Ełku
Skowronski, Antoni (Wydawnictwo Diecezjalne Adalbertinum, 2017)
The institution responsible for the preparation of candidates for priestly ordination is the seminary. The Ełk Diocese Seminary has been engaged in priestly formation since 16 April 1992. It applies the guidelines of the magisterium of the Church and the local tradition and customs, resulting from the specific conditions of the Church of Ełk. The article analyses the profiles of candidates, who join the seminary and the changing religious, cultural and sociological conditions. It presents the current system and model of formation at WSD in Ełk and proposals for changes and developments of that model in the future. The philosophy of the seminary’s further activities contains the need to shift the emphasis from “formation for priesthood” to “priestly formation”. It enumerates concrete proposals and methods, which are worth considering and possibly including in the future formation practice, in order to fulfill the “integral formation” postulate. The content is enriched with the analysis of the questionnaires filled out by the clerics.
Innowacyjne inicjatywy pedagogiczne w środowisku szkolnym i parafialnym
Zellma, Anna (Wydawnictwo Diecezjalne Adalbertinum, 2017)
At present, innovative initiatives pose a serious pedagogic challenge, which is also faced by catechists and priests. Therefore, it is worth verifying traditional activities in school and parish environments and seeking new, creative organisational and methodological solutions. This requires creativity of ideas and actions from catechists and priests, since not every initiative deserves to be called innovative. Only introducing better, alternative, reality-changing solutions can be referred to as innovative actions. On the basis of the term “innovative pedagogic initiatives”, as understood in the analyses, the article highlights good practices in the organisation and methodology of initiating various creative activities. They were presented as models for innovative initiatives in the school and parish environment. Also presented were characteristics of catechists and priests – innovators in the school and parish environment, who are open to the “signs of the times”, able to think creatively, to act outside the routine and to cooperate. This was the context in which barriers were described which limit the implementation of pedagogic innovations by catechists and priests and the methods of overcoming them.
Kierunki rozwoju życia konsekrowanego – wizja przyszłości
Stefański, Jacek (Wydawnictwo Diecezjalne Adalbertinum, 2017)
Consecrated persons are to point the way to God and to bear witness by their own life to the existence of eternal life. For that reason such persons cannot allow their interior life to lose its supernatural dimension. Yet this is the kind of loss which takes place when spiritual progress is turned into a psychological quest. Such is the consequence of moving the formational process in religious life from virtues to feelings. It causes the candidate to religious life to develop a relativistic worldview, with the end result being the further protestantization of Catholicism as a move toward a horizontal faith based on feeling and subjective experience of the faith. Only a return to virtues in an evangelical life immersed in the Beatitudes can lead to the revitalization of religious life and the increase of its attractiveness. A return to virtues will equip the consecrated person with the tools needed to face all trials and tribulations.

Życie zakonne w diecezji ełckiej wobec wyzwań współczesności
Kozak, Fidelis Ewa (Wydawnictwo Diecezjalne Adalbertinum, 2017)
Consecrated life is a great gift for a person who is vocated, the universal Church and the local Church. This gift demands an answer expressed by personal life and life in the community. Consecrated persons as well as all belivers are exposed to improper influences of the modern and secularized world, which on the one hand facilitates easy living comfort, conformism and materialism, but on the other hand it suffers from the hunger of spirituality and manifests a profound request for authentic guides who can show us the way to real joy and happiness. Every community of consecrated life and every consecrated person is sent to testify to the closeness and presence of God in order to sanctify humanity. The sanctification of humanity leads through its own immersion in God, by faithfulness to the life, the vows of a religious order, and by the concern for the salvation of the whole world. It is the filling of this mission, according to the charism of one’s own order or institute, it gives the deepest sense of meaning leading to the true happiness.
Ofiara w życiu kapłana na przykładzie drogi do świętości bł. ks. Władysława Bukowińskiego
Węcławik, Józef (Wydawnictwo Diecezjalne Adalbertinum, 2017)
Among many priests, imprisoned and transported to the hard labour camps in the Gulag – that inhuman and murderous enslavement system in the Soviet Union, operating in extremely harsh climate conditions – was blessed Fr. Władysław Bukowiński. Altogether, he spent there 13 years, 5 months and 10 days. His fellow prisoners included Frs. Józef Kuczyński, Bronisław Drzepecki, Walter Ciszek, and many others. Władysław Bukowiński was born on 22 December 1904 in Berdyczów near Żytomierz (in today’s Ukraine). He studied law at the Jagiellonian University and theology at the Major Seminary in Kraków. After working in some parishes in Podbeskidzie for a couple of years, he pleaded for a transfer to Łuck, where later, after the first Soviet aggression against Poland (the so-called first Soviets), he was imprisoned and sentenced to a long-term jail. He survived as if by a miracle an extermination of his fellow prisoners. Under the so-called second Soviets he was tried for high treason and espionage on behalf of the Vatican and deported to Chelyabinsk and to Bakal in Ural region. After that he was released and deported to Karaganda in Kazachstan, when he was the first priest working among Catholics. From there he was first transported to Jesgasgan (in Stieplag), and then to Czuma near Irkutsk. In April 1961 he was transferred to a special labour camp for those sentenced for illegal religious activities (the so-called „religioźnicy”) in Sosnówka, east of Moscow, where he worked till 3 December 1961. After his release from prison, he returned to Karaganda to resume his pastoral ministry on the limitless plains of Kazakhstan (Semipałatinsk, Aktiubinsk), Turkestan and Tajikistan, where he had to face endless repressive measures and harassment. From 1957 to 1968 he undertook eight mission expeditions. Everyday life in the Soviet labour camps was marked with exhausting physical work, chronic malnutrition, all-pervading dirt, vermin, cold and denunciation. Priests were purposely housed with the most denegerate and demoralised convicts. Thanks to his steadfast faith and trust in God, Fr. Władysław Bukowiński was able to live out his priesthood and cooperate with God’s Providence even in extremely harsh living conditions, prisons and labour camps, where belief in God was outlawed. After his release he chose not to return to Poland (even though he could if he wanted to), but settled in Karaganda and accepted Soviet citizenship. He stayed in the USSR to bring all those whom Christ had loved to God. Fr. Władysław Bukowiński died in Karaganda on 3 December 1974. He remained faithful to God, Church and all those with whom he had shared the cruel fate of exile, prisoner and martyr. On 11 September 2016, in Karaganda, Fr. Władysław Bukowiński was raised to the glory of the Altars as the first blessed man of the church in Kazakhstan. Blessed Fr. Władysław is the shining example of the steadfast priest, giving his entire life to God, ever faithful to his life motto: „I thank God’s Providence and do what I am supposed to do”.
