    Theologie der heiligen Pilgerstätten – biblische und pastorale Aspekte
    Ostrowski, Maciej (Wydawnictwo Naukowe Uniwersytetu Papieskiego Jana Pawła II, 2015)
    The article focuses on aspects of theology of shrines, which are destinations of Christian pilgrimages. The author bases on biblical texts, particularly on these concerning the Promised Land and the Holy City of Jerusalem with its temple, further on documents of the Pontifical Council for the Pastoral Care of Migrants and Itinerants. Each earthly shrine is an expression of God’s love for a human. On the one hand, God's initiative is to create a convenient place for His encounter with a man, on the other hand, a human himself searches for such a place. A shrine is a venue, where a man “has rest in God”, enters into a community with Him. Simultaneously, it anticipates future communion with God in the eternity – “eternal rest in God” after efforts of the earthly pilgrimage. It is there, where a human being will achieve complete happiness and joy. Like in the past, the Promised Land and the temple in Jerusalem were places for creating unity and identity for Israelites, nowadays shrines are means of creating and enhancing Church community, which embraces comers from all over the world. The article emphasis the fact that present shrines are not only places of intensive prayers, great liturgical celebrations, but also centres where people offer their spiritual sacrifices, do penance, further where sinners convert to God and each pilgrim renews spiritually.

    Zur Wallfahrtstheologie – biblische Aspekte
    Ostrowski, Maciej (Wydawnictwo Naukowe Uniwersytetu Papieskiego Jana Pawła II, 2015)
    The author develops theology of pilgrimage on the base of selected scriptures of the Old and New Testament. He refers especially to the way of Abraham, Exodus of Israel from Egypt and excerpts of the Epistles of Apostle Paul. Biblical stories are prophetic announcements of Church which is described as the faithful on the pilgrimage. Moreover, the stories are symbol of a journey of each human being to the encounter with God in the eternity. The author formulates practical conclusions for the pilgrimage ministry and for pilgrims themselves. He begins the analysis with the description of the moment of taking up the journey when after time filled with restlessness the pilgrim makes decision on the future (entrusting to God, stating purposes, strengthening religious motivations of the pilgrimage, surrendering to the providence of God). In the next stage, he discusses journey alone, which is time of the trial and strengthening the pilgrim. The pilgrimage is not only about reaching destination, getting from the pilgrim’s home to the shrine, but about a spiritual journey of conversion, renewal, deepening faith and approaching God. Duration of the pilgrimage is measured not only by time in literal meaning (chronos), but by time of fulfillment of plans of God (kairos).
