The analyses of two Baroque funereal series – Smutne zabawy (Sad games) by Wacław Potocki and Smutne żale (Sorrowful grief) by Stanisław Morsztyn included in this paper have made it possible to distinguish common features of the discussed works as well as identify significant differences. It is known that the two collections differ in terms of structure. Potocki’s series has a two-part composition, whereas Morsztyn’s works follow the topics of a classic epicede. Both are philosophical and reflective in nature, however each author emphasizes different issues in constructing a funereal memento. A common feature of both series is the authors’ reference to the Stoic philosophy, which is an important structural element of the mentioned threnodies. A comparison of the two works presents the funeral objects and points out the extent of imitation.

The paper presents a few aspects of human suff ering based on the example of mystical experiences of a Carmelite nun, Anna Maria Marchocka. The work includes descriptions from her early childhood, novitiate period, when the suff ering was rooted in loneliness, physical ailments that brought the suffering of the soul and body, as well as the three stages of a mystical path: purification, enlightenment and union. These descriptions show the reader that Marianna Marchocka did not only embrace the suffering but also the attitude that helped her to understand the events around her on the path to sainthood.
