Katechetyczny przekaz o cierpieniu i śmierci inspirowany nauczaniem Jana Pawła II

Abstract

The catechetic message about suffering and death gained a lot owing to the events preceding the death of John Paul II. Not only the view of his suffering, exceptional humility and prayer, but also his apostolic teaching helps understand this mystery. While preparing the catechized people to the apostolate of suffering one may not leave out the message about suffering and death from the catechesis. Transmitting the message about suffering and dying to the catechized, catechists are in a special position as they may use an example of experiencing these mysteries. According to Pope John Paul II’s teaching, suffering is a point of reference in a man’s life. It is always a salutary mystery. An apostolic attitude should result from catechetic formation focused on suffering. In defining the obligations of the catechized towards people who suffer John Paul II’s apostolic teaching has the value of a source.
