Diakonia wyzwolenia

Abstract

Deaconship according to spirit of the Vatican Council II has emphasized the idea of service, that is deaconship, to which the whole Church, and especially all the pastoral offices are called. This form of service performed by members of the Church hierarchy and serving, leads to their spiritual liberation. The article shows the charisma of Rev. Franciszek Blachnicki, the author of the Polish way of lay people formation. Liberation from constraints became the subject of his theological reflection and apostolic activities. The greatest discovery and the motto of the liberation theology was the indication that a man’s inner freedom that is born from Christ’s liberating power is the source of the social dimension of his freedom. A Christian becomes free by serving his sisters and brothers in the Church community.
