W poszukiwaniu istoty stałej formacji kapłańskiej

Abstract

The ongoing priestly formation is an extremely important issue, especially in view of possible, slow dying out of vocation with its original enthusiasm and hopes. The author examines the question of anointed formation starting with its foundation, namely the content of God’s call directed at man, the experiencing and conditions of fulfilment of this calling, the awareness of the gift of priesthood and the tasks it involves. The formation itself has been presented in various aspects, with a special emphasis put not only on the call to priesthood but also the call to holiness, as mentioned in the Apostolic Exhortation “Pastores dabo vobis”.
