Zadania stojące przed Polską w nowym tysiącleciu według Stefana kardynała Wyszyńskiego

Abstract

In his teaching, apart from many other issues, Cardinal Wyszyński pointed out to the tasks facet by Poland in the new millennium, basing on the entire history of the nation and on its relationship with Triune God, Mary and Church. These facts have an efect that the nation, as a community of free citizens, and a family of the families, may fully realise its existence, vocation and mission. Therefore, the duty of the nation and the state is to take the following tasks: faithfulness to God, Cross and Gospel, being united with the Church that leads the nation into the supernatural and onto a higher level of earthly life, care over people and families, love of the Motherland – understood broadly as care over the land, culture, history and love of the motherland that shall be loved as second after God. Caring over an order in personal and social life, facing threats, weaknesses and sin and being led by the teaching of the Gospel and of the Vatican II in building a new order. If Poland bases its future on these values, as was the case for over a thousand years starting from the baptism of Poland, we will be able to look at the future with hope.
