Cechy świętości prezbitera w świetle adhortacji apostolskiej „Gaudete et exsultate” papieża Franciszka
Polak, Mieczysław (Wydawnictwo Towarzystwa Naukowego Katolickiego Uniwersytetu Lubelskiego, 2019)
One of the important themes that was taken up at the Second Vatican Council was the ministry and life of the presbyter. This teaching found a reception and development in many statements of the post-Conciliar Popes. They show both the essence of being a priest and the conditioning of his ministry in the modern world. From these two premises – ontological and kairological – can be drawn conclusions, that relate to the pastoral ministry of the priest. One of them is the statement that the priest’s activity should flow from a certain spirituality. This article attempts to present the characteristic features of the spirituality of the contemporary presbyter in the light of the teaching of post-Conciliar Church, with particular emphasis on the apostolic exhortation Gaudete et exsultate on the call to holiness in today’s world of the Holy Father Francis. These qualities are: the pastoral character of holiness, joy and mercy.
