Początki kultu św. Stanisława Papczyńskiego w Ełku

Abstract

This article devoted to the devotions to St. Stanislaw Papczynski in Elk is a theological-pastoral reflection not so much on the forms of these devotions but rather on discovering signs of God’s action in them. The miracles, acknowledged by the Church during the beatification and canonization of St. Stanislaw Papczynski, related to human life at its beginning and its end. It is a telltale sign for the current times, when the value of human life is questioned. Therefore, raising Fr. Stanislaw Papczynski to the glory of the altars cannot merely go down in history, it is to be a seed sown in the soil of the contemporary Church to still bear new fruits of mature Christian life.
