The sample consisted of 550 persons (aged 17 – 75) living in the Archidioces of Cracow. The subjects were divided according to sex (52% women and 48% men) and religious selfevaluation (strong believers, believers,doubtfuls and indifferents). Significant differences between woman and men were found in some emotions connected with the Pope’s visit to Poland, in evaluation of its results, in motivation to participate in meetings with John Paul II. Religious orientation correlates with the type of preparation to the Pope’s visit, changes in style of life, perception of message presented by the Pope: believers in preparation to the visit stressing personal prayer and confession. For them the most important aspects of truth preached by John Paul II were the love of God, the Eucharist, charity and also freedom and unity of the nation. For all respondents the most important feelings connected with the Pope’s third visit to Poland were joy, hope and feeling of friendship with others. The best way to follow the Pope’s appeal is sincerity to another person. Since John Paul II is an uncommon and charismatic person any meeting with Him can be described psychologically as a multidimensional experience.plCC-BY-NC-ND - Uznanie autorstwa - Użycie niekomercyjne - Bez utworów zależnychJan Paweł IIKarol Wojtyłapapieżepielgrzymki papieskiewizyty papieskiePolskapielgrzymki Jana Pawła II do Polskipielgrzymki Jana Pawła II do ojczyznypielgrzymki Jana Pawła IIbadaniapercepcjażycie religijnereligijnośćJohn Paul IIpopespapal pilgrimagespapal visitsPolandJohn Paul II's pilgrimages to Polandpilgrimages of John Paul II to his homelandJohn Paul II's pilgrimagesresearchperceptionreligious lifereligiousnessArticle
