The Christian Service for Human Liberation is the ultimate life work of Fr. Franciszek Blachnicki. It was established abroad, in the Federal Republic of Germany, in 1982. The Creator of the Light-Life Movement was forced to stay abroad due to martial law imposed in the Polish People’s Republic. Searching for the meaning of this dramatic event, Fr. Blachnicki turned to faith for the answer. His speeches and activities made him known as an outstanding expert in the ongoing socio-political processes, including the assessment of communist ideology, which destroyed human freedom by means of lies and violence. He preached the doctrine, based on the gospel, that liberation is a process given by Jesus Christ who, while taking away the sins of the world, restores in man inner freedom on which social freedom can be built and in which the liberation of nations can be achieved. He expressed the wisdom in three notions: Truth, the Cross and Liberation.
