The purpose of the essay is to study the theological meaning of the verses Gen. 49, 3-17. 19-27. The conducted research shows that they contain lively, numbered among the crucial ones, historio-salutary ideas, including the Messianic ones. Their leading theological message, seen in its general outline by looking at it through the closest literary context of the verses (I), finds its detailed meaning, which is deepened, when one looks into its structure (II), and finally in its content (III). It can be formulated as follows:− owing to God’s Providence the once separate tribal societies unified into a monolithic community of the people of Jhwh, however, keeping its individuality;− the individuality is expressed in, among others, each member of Israel having a mission to accomplish, a mission given to him by God himself;− Juda’s vocation appears exceptional, when viewed against other ones, as it remains in direct relation with realizing God's plan of salvation;− the aim of the plan is removing the sin and its results as well as introducing universal peace and happiness

The article discusses the problem of social message of the Fourth Petition in the Lord’s Prayer: “Give us this day our daily bread”. As Fathers of the Church comment on the content of the request, they find its fulfillment “in the hands” of the Christian themselves. This prayer will be answered insofar as the one in prayer adopts the right attitude towards material goods. According to the most ancient commentators, Disciple of Christ should care only about what is indispensable for everyday life. In addition, it is important to ask for bread only “this day” whereas “tomorrow” should be entrusted to God’s Providence. Here they often like to appeal to the Christ’s parable of the rich man, who yielded an abundant harvest (Lk 12, 16-20). Few Fathers, especially Cyprian of Carthage, Gregory of Nyssa and Pseudo-Chrysostom point out that the request for daily bread demands the active help to the needy, as well as the prevention of all forms of social injustice.
