Many manifestations of this care can be seen throughout his twenty-seven-years’ service. It was principally focused on the care about the shape and the condition of faith in the Polish nation. His letters touched many essential problems related to the experiencing the religiosity both in the social and in the personal aspect. The specifc recipients of this pastoral care were Polish families. He inseparably conjoined the care about families with the struggle for protection of the human life from conception until the natural death. These are the subsequent crucial subjects of many pastoral letters of the first metropolitan of Częstochowa. Finally, the call to fight the national vices, which infuence negatively the People of God entrusted to him, permeated all his pastoral teaching. The present paper attempts to disclose these problems.plAttribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Polandhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/pl/duszpasterzeduszpasterstworeligiamoralnośćetykatroskanaródarcybiskupikapłaniduchowieństwoStanisław Nowaklisty pasterskiepasterska troskanaród polskiPolskaministryreligionmoralityethicscarearchbishopsclergypriesthoodpastoral letterspastoral carePolish nationopieka duszpasterskanationPolandArticle
