    Kościół wobec starości. Perspektywa pastoralnoteologiczna
    Dziedzic, Jan (Wydawnictwo Naukowe Uniwersytetu Papieskiego Jana Pawła II, 2015)
    The danger of a generation gap growing bigger makes us pay more careful attention to the old age. Correction of the negative attitudes is both a cultural and pedagogical challenge for all generations. A responsibility for the senior is mainly based on showing them the value of their old age. It is also vital to enable the old to appreciate the hidden advantages and help them resist the temptation of isolating from the other people and also to help them get rid of the sense of being useless and helpless. The presented article was an attempt to review the contemporary problem of the growing number of elderly people in our society. The problem breeds new challenges. We shall not let the group be excluded from the society but we need to find the way to really engage them in the community life. A significant task is also organizing help and respect the dignity which every human being deserves in this way. A transcendental dimension is also worth noticing as for the senior who is also a believer the approach to death is connected with Jesus’ promise of the eternal life.

    Starzeć się z godnością: od doświadczenia straty do owocowania
    Morciniec, Piotr (Wydawnictwo Naukowe Uniwersytetu Papieskiego Jana Pawła II, 2015)
    The practice of life and the literature on the subject strike us as antagonistic, firmly positive or negative understanding of old age. The first one most often has biblical and theological roots, whereas the other one – sociocultural ones. Searching for the proper attitude towards our own and someone else’s old age we find out that the senior time as the time of discovering a new sense can only be chosen, not sententiously recommended or demanded. The major point of the text is that the failure at shaping the sense of own old age results mainly from not working out the losses associated with this stage of life. To show the way to respectable old age, the author tried to define the actual state of so called old age or senior age (1), then he discussed the issue of working out the diagnosed real and subjective losses (2) so as to, in the course of the process, reach the point of reaping the fruits of life and old age (3) and introducing the trial of practical accomplishment of the approach (4).
