Pozycja Halík Tomáš: Geduld mit Gott. Die Geschichte von Zachäus heute, Freiburg 2010, Herder, 258 Seiten, ISBN: 9783451303821Zulehner, Paul Michael (The Pontifical University of John Paul II in Cracow, 2012)Pozycja Hospice Counsellor Facing the Grief of the Terminally Ill Child and Its FamilyGodawa, Grzegorz (The Pontifical University of John Paul II in Cracow, 2012)The child’s illness, suffering and death provoke many emotions in the family. The ill child and its family both experience grief which is an emotional reaction to the danger of losing health or life. Support offered by home hospices for children aims at overcoming the destructive influence of illness. A hospice counsellor’s task is to improve the ill child and its family’s quality of life. He is helping the family overcome grief and prepare for the child’s death. The hospice team supports the family members who experience anticipatory and later, actual mourning. Preventing pathological effects of grief is a basic challenge for people who offer help.Pozycja Die Ökologie der Person – Kantische Motive des Personbegriffs in Karol Wojtyłas “Person und Tat”Waleszczuk, Zbigniew (The Pontifical University of John Paul II in Cracow, 2012)Apart from many legitimate concerns about ecology, the most important contemporary concern should be of anthropological nature and must address the human as a person (Benedikt XVI). What is man? Are human beings free? What should human beings do? These Kantian questions also describe the main starting points of Karol Wojtyła’s philosophy in “The Acting Person”. With regard to the importance of the question (ecology of man) our challenge is divided into three parts. Firstly, man is a person; secondly, his call is to liberty and lastly, responsible love is an emanation of personal dignity. In this manner the three important points in Wojtyła’s philosophy (person, liberty, love) are well characterized. The essence of man is his personal dignity as a source for the possibility of free (responsible) decisions – “the act”. The experience of morality is included in the experience of being a person. Wojtyła poses the question “how do I understand who I am throughout my acts?” Like Kant, the author emphasizes the importance of free will, conscientiousness as an obligation, which speaks to the conscious person. I determine myself through my own decision (person’s actions). For Wojtyła, participation in love is the basis of all human personal experiences. “Only persons participate in love”. Participation in the character of the other becomes – in the language of Wojtyła – “the choice of the other person in myself”.Pozycja Rezension Józef Stala, Familienkatechese in Polen um die Jahrhundertwende. Probleme und Herausforderungen (Tarnow: Biblos 2008), 204 Seiten, ISBN 978-83-733267-4-3Vodičar, Janez (The Pontifical University of John Paul II in Cracow, 2012)Pozycja Love and Truth in Social Involvement of the ChurchSzmulewicz, Henryk (The Pontifical University of John Paul II in Cracow, 2012)This study begins with a brief outline of the essence of the whole encyclical Caritas in veritate. Benedict XVI expresses the desire for „the dialogue with the world”. He understands this dialogue as a special kind of the service of the Church towards eternal love and truth, fully revealed in Christ. The dialogue of the Church with the world, in the spirit of love and truth, is accomplished every day at the level of so-called official relations. There are numerous opinions that in the past the Church repeatedly neglected the dialogue with the world. Indeed, the Church historians point out the existence of examples of the fall of the authority of the Holy See in particular countries and circumstances. Similarly, the Church is the sign of objection in the contemporary world. Instructed by past experiences the Church is aware that what is necessary for the renewal of culture and society, is evangelical love and truth.Pozycja Der Mensch als Person: Die bestimmende Grundlage für Johannes Paul II. in seinem Bild von der FamilieStala, Józef (The Pontifical University of John Paul II in Cracow, 2012)Pope John Paul II frequently describes humans in terms of personal being.

In the context of the decline of religious practices in Western Europe, the article contains some of Jean-Marie Lustiger’s thoughts on the sacrament of marriage as well as his role in contributing to a deeper understanding of matrimony.
