„Jezu, ufam Tobie” a nabożeństwo maryjne w Łagiewnikach

Abstract

The study “His mercy from age to age” The Marian devotion in the Shrine of the Divine Mercy in Cracow-Łagiewniki shows the Marian piety of the Congregation of the Sisters of the Mother of Mercy, the meaning of the apparitions of the Virgin that Sister Faustyna Kowalska also had and the teachings with respect to the Mother of Christ found in the encyclical letter Dives in Misericordia written by John Paul II. It has been declared a relationship between these three examined subjects: The devotion towards the Mother of Mercy has an integral part to the worship of the Devine Mercy. It emphasizes three fundamental facts: 1) The Blessed Mother lived in a particular form of mercy, 2) She assisted Christ in the revelation of mercy to the entire world, 3) The Mother of God transmitting mercy to mankind, brings it closer to us. The Marian piety has its influences in the doctrinal teaching, sacramental-liturgy life and in the apostolate carried out in the Divine Mercy Sanctuary in Cracow-Lagiewniki. This piety could be described as “a discreet and effective presence” of Mary. It has a particular meaning within the devotion to the Divine Mercy. The traditional forms of Marian piety are being enriched and inspired by the papal teachings.
