Duchowość misyjna w „Redemptoris missio” Jana Pawła II
Krzyszowski, Zbigniew (Wydawnictwo Towarzystwa Naukowego Katolickiego Uniwersytetu Lubelskiego, 2007)
The author has devoted his paper to the issue of missionary spirituality in the light of John Paul II’s encyclical Redemptoris missio. It is the first document of the Church ranked so high which takes an exhaustive approach to the issue in question. The problem of missionary spirituality has been discussed in this paper in three points: as the necessity of missionary spirituality, its specific character, and dimensions (such as submissiveness to the Holy Spirit, internal unification and imitation of Christ, love and “sense” of the Church, prayer and contemplation, asceticism, pastoral love, service to the truth, ability to witness, and desire for holiness.
Duszpasterskie wyzwania wobec Kościoła w Polsce. Dwie wizyty polskich biskupów ad limina Apostolorum w 1998 i 2005 roku
Półtorak, Kazimierz (Wydawnictwo Towarzystwa Naukowego Katolickiego Uniwersytetu Lubelskiego, 2007)
During their ad limina Apostolorum meetings with Polish bishops in 1998 and 2005 popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI delivered addresses to particular groups of bishops. Theis indications refer to some essential dimensions of socio-religious life and design a programme for the Church in Poland. Both Popes stress the need for a new evangelisation as the main task of pastoral care. The significant thing is to form a right conscience and mature faith among lay Catholics, their Christian commitment, especially in the realm of the mass media, Church groups, movements, and associations. It is necessary to take more time to prepare candidates for priesthood and then provide permanent formation for them. Pastoral care for the youth calls for intensive steps. It is necessary to support families, the weak, the sick, and the poor. John Paul II with a great tact referred to the internal socio-religious matters of Poland, stressed the need to build unity in the Episcopate of Poland and among citizens. According to the late Pope, the Church in Poland stands a chance to rebuild its tie with the world of culture, and nobody should treated as a lost person for the Gospel. With regard to Polish affairs, Benedict XVI often refers to his predecessor, stresses the need for a parochial catechesis and the role of the church mass media. He thinks it is very important to develop a sense of fellowship in the parish through the activity of boards.
Duszpasterstwo wobec zjawiska marginalizacji społecznej
Kalinowski, Mirosław (Wydawnictwo Towarzystwa Naukowego Katolickiego Uniwersytetu Lubelskiego, 2007)
The paper is devoted to pastoral measures directed to people endangered by social exclusion and those socially marginalised. The first part shows any relations between criminal records and the phenomenon of marginalisation, including the multidimensional risk factors that lead to social marginalisation. The second part depicts processes related to the phenomenon of being stigmatized. This is a social reaction to crime and enhance the likelihood or marginalisation of multiple criminals. The third part shows that it is justified to direct pastoral activities at young people threatened by exclusion and people marginalised because of their criminal records. The preventive pastoral measures focus on the goals and strategies that enhance the likelihood of effectiveness in the programmes under construction, and the fact that it is well-justified to integrate prevention in the local community.
Dynamizm miłości pasterskiej
Drożdż, Bogusław (Wydawnictwo Towarzystwa Naukowego Katolickiego Uniwersytetu Lubelskiego, 2007)
The pattern for pastoral love is the concern of the Good Shepherd for his sheep. It unites them in the only Saviour of mankind – Jesus Christ – through participation in His evangelical way of life. The source of pastoral love is Christ the Good Shepherd. The Person of Christ is the fundamental subject of this love. Only participation of particular members of the people of God in the pastoral love of Christ can there be revealed the truly dynamic character of actions taken in the Church. Pastoral love made concrete enlivens from within the ecclesial fellowship and ensures the power of evangelisation for the Church towards mankind.
Eklezjalność drogi neokatechumenalnej
Śmigiel, Wiesław (Wydawnictwo Towarzystwa Naukowego Katolickiego Uniwersytetu Lubelskiego, 2007)
The neo-catechumen way was established in 1964 in Madrid by Kiko Argiiello and Carmen Hernandez as a proposal of permanent formation for adults. It was designed to bring them to conversion and join the evangelisation community of the Church. The ecclesiastic character of neocatechumenate is manifested in the total submission to church hierarchy, love for the liturgy, prayer, and the word of God. Through work in small groups neo-catechumens are gradually introduced to the fellowship of the parish and the diocese. A gift of the Way for the universal Church are also numerous vocations to the priesthood and consecrated life, e.g. diocesan, international, and missionary Seminars “Redemptoris Mater”, disseminated all over the world. They prepare priests from neo-catechumenate. The ecclesiastic character of the Way is testified by wandering catechists, priests, and families in mission who evangelise among non-Christians or in de-Christianised milieus. The canonical recognition of the ecclesiastic character is granted in the “Statutes of the Neo-catechumen Way,” affirmed by the Papal Board for the Lay People of 2002 for the period of five years. Neo-catechumen fellowships prudently directed by the hierarchy and catechists contribute to the renewal of pastoral care.
Eucharystia źródłem i objawieniem komunii eklezjalnej
Matwiejuk, Kazimierz (Wydawnictwo Towarzystwa Naukowego Katolickiego Uniwersytetu Lubelskiego, 2007)
The ecclesial communion with Christ and His Church starts in the sacrament of baptism. It consists in being immersed in the death and resurrection of the Incarnate Son of God. Christ Himself makes this initiation. The Eucharist strengthens the communion with God and among people. This strengthening is carried out especially during the Eucharistic celebration, which actualises the mystery of salvation implemented by Christ. Breaking and eating the Eucharistic Bread most completely makes real the community with the Risen Lord. The Eucharist révélas the ecclesial communion. It is the epiphany of the Church shown here as a hierarchic community. This is made visible in the celebration of the Eucharist through a variety of vows, offices, and liturgical functions. This community is a celebrant of the Liturgy. The Eucharist is a source of the pastoral activity of the Church, as it shapes the way of thinking and acting of its members. It teaches to overcome subjectivism and individualism, enables us to take the joyful hardships to build a fellowship with others. The Eucharistic cult is the source of apostolic dynamism every day.
Eucharystyczny kształt duchowości kapłańskiej
Biela, Bogdan (Wydawnictwo Towarzystwa Naukowego Katolickiego Uniwersytetu Lubelskiego, 2007)
In his Letter to priests for Maundy Thursday dated March 13, 2005, John Paul II, being well aware of his abruptly deteriorating health, felt a strong desire to share the mystery of his priesthood. In the foreword he says: “If the whole Church is alive thanks to the Eucharist, there are special reasons for priestly life to take the Eucharistic shape. For us the words of institution must be more than a formula of consecration: they must be a formula of life” (No. 1). Contemplating these words the pope is showing the elements of a priestly spirituality which should shape our lives. Based on the said letter and Novo millennio ineunte, which in a sense is the background of the letter to priests, this article elaborates the theme focusing on the description of institution of the Eucharist. The Author intends to show that for priests the words: “This is My Body,” “Take this, all of you, and eat it, do this in memory of me,” not only are a formula shaping their Christian and priestly life, but they may become a unique methodology shaping their priestly identity.
Funkcja pasterska prezbitera w świetle adhortacji apostolskiej „Pastores dabo vobis”
Lipiec, Dariusz (Wydawnictwo Towarzystwa Naukowego Katolickiego Uniwersytetu Lubelskiego, 2007)
According to John Paul II, the pastoral function, aside to the magisterial and sacerdotal functions, belongs to the basic functions to make the Church present. The pastoral function of the priest has its Christological and ecclesiological grounds. Holding the pastoral function consists in participating in the pastoral office of Jesus Christ, the Head and Pastor of the Church. The essence of the pastoral function is to govern church community in the spirit of love and service. The pastoral function should be carried out in a close contact with a bishop, who is the keystone of the unity of the particular Church.
Homilia a ewangelizacja współczesnego świata
Broński, Włodzimierz (Wydawnictwo Towarzystwa Naukowego Katolickiego Uniwersytetu Lubelskiego, 2007)
Evangelisation is the principal function of the Church. Its purpose is to arouse a living, conscious, and responsible faith among all the people capable of receiving the Gospel. Its addressees are people living under concrete circumstances of the contemporary world. The multiple transformations in the world affect their lives and shape a definite model of the man, the listener of the word of God. Now the priest, by preaching a homily, should bear it in his mind. Otherwise, even though the homily of its essence is an effective tool in conducting evangelisation, its improper preparation and preaching can make it difficult for the hearers to meet God in the word that is being preached.
Jak uczyć modlitwy katechizowanych?
Kulpaczyński, Stanisław (Wydawnictwo Towarzystwa Naukowego Katolickiego Uniwersytetu Lubelskiego, 2007)
The proposal put forward in the paper how to teach prayer is based on theoretical sources and empirical research. I propose five possible ways to improve the didactics of prayer: – one should learn the theological dimension of prayer, as the dialogue between God and man deals with these two great mysteries that one should always penetrate with ones mind. The Catechism of the Catholic Church and the current syllabus of religious instruction explain the concept of prayer, but students understand it also individually, as we can see it from the survey of 1300 primary school pupils and 441 secondary school students, – psychological conditions of prayer deal with the knowledge of the level of the development of religiousness (nine periods – from the pre-religious to the eschatological one), and also the family situation of students, – planning the place of prayer in a catechetic unit concerns religious instruction entirely devoted to prayer, goals and contents of instruction, a well-planned place during a concrete religious unit and in homework, – prayer in homework is supposed to result from the contents and goals of religious instruction, it opens enormous opportunities for creative ideas, – finally, the catechist is supposed to develop his/her own level of prayer and ensure its experience together with students, playing the roles of a teacher, educator, witness, animator, or even therapist.
Katecheza i liturgia
Kiciński, Andrzej (Wydawnictwo Towarzystwa Naukowego Katolickiego Uniwersytetu Lubelskiego, 2007)
Theological reflection tends to make anew the unity between the basic dimensions of Christian life, which in history have separated from one another. One notices a return to the tradition of ancient catechumenat as a model of any catechesis, indicating the fruitful synthesis between celebration, listening to the word of God, confession of faith, and Christian experience. Catechesis has ceased to be identified with the catechism, where one by questions and answers could learn also about the Liturgy. Catechesis has come back to the basic goal, i.e. teaching people how to interpret life in the light of the word of God and celebrate this life in faith, the life which God, following His plan, shapes in the human being. Thus the postulate to develop the forms of catechetic activities according to the pattern of the broadened method to revise life: to see, to evaluate, to act, and to celebrate.
Kontekst duszpasterski wychowania do wiary. Perspektywa teologicznopastoralna
Przybyłowski, Jan (Wydawnictwo Towarzystwa Naukowego Katolickiego Uniwersytetu Lubelskiego, 2007)
The Church conducts a salvific activity – this is its principal mission. In the pastoral activity, which is to fulfil the salvific mission, there is a need to place the formative function. The Church brings up people, but pedagogical tasks belong to a human activity, in accord with the principle of relative autonomy of the human person. Christian formation in its essence is formation to faith which comes from listening. Owing to Christian formation, the human being may grow in faith by learning the commandments, being open to the truth and beauty, and also by his moral sense, his freedom and voice of conscience, his way to everlasting happiness. Participation in the plan of creation may lead man to know God the Creator, whereas the recognition of God the Saviour and following the way of salvation are possible only because of the co-operation between man and the grace of faith.
Kościół w procesie unifikacji Europy
Pamuła, Stanisław (Wydawnictwo Towarzystwa Naukowego Katolickiego Uniwersytetu Lubelskiego, 2007)
The process of uniting Europe is systematically progressing. The Polish influence and the success of Solidarity in 1989 played a big role in the social-political transformation that has taken place. This transformation was connected with Christianity, a context common to all of Europe. On this continent there was no question about the role that John Paul II played from the first moment of his election in 1978. As Pope, he wanted to strengthen and develop not only the religious life of people but also their social and economic values; he supported the integrative process that the European Union underlined and continued by recognising these values and deepening them because they are very near and dear for all peoples and countries.
Kryteria historyczności cudów Jezusa
Rusecki, Marian (Wydawnictwo Towarzystwa Naukowego Katolickiego Uniwersytetu Lubelskiego, 2007)
The paper discusses the issue of the historicity of Jesus’ miracles. In the contemporary (lay, Protestant, also some Catholic) thinking Jesus’ miracles are questioned either in general, or some of them. Meanwhile, in the Divine Revelation they fulfil important functions, not only motivational. In the light of literature the author showed three groups of criteria which weigh in favour of their historicity. They are as follows: 1. historical criteria for the authenticity of Jesus’ miracles (in this group we have discussed: criterion of multiple confirmation, criterion of conformity between Jesus’ miracles and the Palestine milieu, criterion of non-continuity and non-conformity, criterion of necessary explanation); 2. literary-historical criteria (here the following: criterion of internal comprehension, narration and criterion of conformity to the essence and difference of details); 3. criteria of theological conformity (criterion of conformity between Jesus’ miracles and the main ideas of the salvific message, and criterion of conformity between Jesus’ words and deeds). The author came to a conclusion that all the groups of criteria should be taken together. Then they provide a greater certainty as the historical character of Jesus’ miracles. As a whole, they are a save foundation for theological research.
Ksiądz Michał Sopoćko jako teolog pastoralista
Skreczko, Adam (Wydawnictwo Towarzystwa Naukowego Katolickiego Uniwersytetu Lubelskiego, 2007)
The paper deals with the didactic, formative, and scientific activity in pastoral theology of the Venerable Rev. Michał Spoćko (1888-1975). He is well-known mainly as the confessor of St. Faustyna Kowalska, the Apostle of Divine Mercy. His didactic and literary accomplishments are significant, but they have not been studied and presented yet in the milieu of pastoral theologians. In his formative activity and theological-pastoral reflection Rev. M. Sopoćko sought to make people sensitive to the supernatural goal of life and help them to accomplish it. He was well prepared for his learned work through his university studies. He was a thorough, critical, and demanding scholar. His literary output has played an essential role in propagating the devotion to Divine Mercy and contributed to the development of pastoral theology in Poland.
Obraz świętości odczytany w encyklice Benedykta XVI „Deus caritas est”
Werbiński, Ireneusz (Wydawnictwo Towarzystwa Naukowego Katolickiego Uniwersytetu Lubelskiego, 2007)
The paper discusses the issue of love, the essence of holiness, according to Benedict XVI’s encyclical letter Deus caritas est. The encyclical does not deal directly with the question of holiness, but it speaks about various dimensions of love, therefore the question of holiness is always present in it. Referring to the Bible, the encyclical shows first God as the source of love, then man as the one gifted with love by God and at the same time called to witness to it. The encyclical speaks much about the development of love, its ecclesiastic and charismatic character.
Odnowa duszpasterstwa i apostolstwa parafialnego w nauczaniu Jana Pawła II
Robek, Edmund (Wydawnictwo Towarzystwa Naukowego Katolickiego Uniwersytetu Lubelskiego, 2007)
There is a natural and organic bond between the pastoral ministry and the apostolate. The pastoral ministry can function without apostolate and – on the other hand – if there is no pastoral ministry the apostolate can exist, however the latter separation weakens both activities. These two activities are closely related and have the same source: both arise from Christ’s priesthood, mature in the same ecclesiastical environment, connect and involve members of the Christian community. Of course, the pastoral ministry and the apostolate can choose a different approach for their life style. The main question is how to maintain and support such a special bond existing behem, so that they could create the two-poles integrated ecclesiastical activity. The coexistence and welcoming collaboration between pastoral ministry and apostolate decisively influence the imaging quality of the parish community and determine a success in every Church’s task; it should lead also to a universal responsibility for the evangelisation. The priests and the apostles need a “place” for their activity. It is a parish community in which a pastoral mission connects with an apostolic responsibility within the Church. The parish is an ordinary place to generate new vocations to the priesthood which require a communitarian feeling to grow.
Początki pontyfikatu Benedykta XVI na łamach „Rzeczpospolitej” w 2005 roku
Lewandowski, Krzysztof (Wydawnictwo Towarzystwa Naukowego Katolickiego Uniwersytetu Lubelskiego, 2007)
In the Polish daily „Rzeczpospolita” of 2005 there were ca. 345 verbal press units devoted to the person and activity of first Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, then Pope Benedict XVI. They were pieces of information (paragraphs, news), and opinion-forming pieces (articles, commentaries). Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger belonged to the closest co-workers of John Paul II, holding the function of the prefect of the Congregation for the Teaching of Faith. The media called him “a strict guardian of the doctrine,” counting him in the conservative line of the cardinal collegium. He belonged to the group of favourite candidates for a pope and was the author of the famous devotions for the Way of the Cross in the Coliseum. His sermons at the funeral of John Paul II and the beginning of the conclave were highly acclaimed; he presided at the conclave as the Dean of cardinal collegium. It was no surprise when Joseph Ratzinger was elected Pope. The first months of his pontificate were closely scrutinised and commented by the media. He was compared to his Predecessor: differences and continuation were noticed as well. It was anticipated that the new pontificate would strive after moral regeneration based on firm principles, that the new pope would care about the intellectual discipline of the Catholic doctrine, the development of Christian culture, that he would be a pope of dialogue.
Podmiotowość wiernych świeckich w działalności Kościoła
Olszewski, Mieczysław (Wydawnictwo Towarzystwa Naukowego Katolickiego Uniwersytetu Lubelskiego, 2007)
The paper seeks to show the lay faithful as subjects in the activity of the Church. Once the relevance of the topic has been shown, further steps are taken in the paper, i.e. on the basis of anthropological considerations some philosophical concepts are exposed: person, subject, subjectivity, and dignity of the human person in the light of the Revelation and teaching of the Church. Then the paper takes a closer look at the areas of lay activity in the Church. The author divides it into three functions of the Church, where the lay people can and should be engaged: sacerdotal, prophetic, and pastoral. For this activity, however, to bring expected fruit the author postulates mutual understanding between the laity and the clergy. The clergy should take into account that the lay faithful are subjects in the Church. In principle, this is the most important postulate of this article.
Posługa Kościoła wobec narkomanów w świetle dokumentu Papieskiej Rady do Spraw Duszpasterstwa Zdrowia „Kościół, narkotyki i narkomania. Podręcznik duszpasterski”
Fiałkowski, Marek (Wydawnictwo Towarzystwa Naukowego Katolickiego Uniwersytetu Lubelskiego, 2007)
The phenomenon of drug addiction is thought to be one of the most important pathologies of our civilisation. It calls for effective and decisive measures to be taken, intended to stop the rising consumption of drugs, especially among young people. Dependence on drugs is also a challenge for the Church who has for many years taken various actions in this area. In 2001 the Papal Board for the Pastoral Care of Health published a broad document entitled The Church, Drugs, and Drug Addiction. A Pastoral Handbook. The document contains a comprehensive interpretation of the issue of drug addiction from the perspective of the pastoral ministry of the Church. The paper makes an attempt to answer the question what the Church’s ministry to drug addicts in the world should consist in. This is in the light of the document in question. First, the Church’s indications with regard to drug addiction have been shown. They are the grounds on which the ministry for addicts should be based. Then the subject of this ministry has been indicated, i.e. persons who in particular should take this task. Eventually, the most important actions have been given. According to the document of the Papal Board for the Pastoral Care of Health, the Church should take such measures in the realm of drug prevention and therapy.
