The virtue of vindicatio was known even to ancient philosophers. It was also described by Thomas Aquinas according to whom vindicatio had an important role in inflicting punishment so that it would serve the conversion of wrongdoer and the restoration of justice, the requirements of which are not cancelled by the Christian duty to forgive. The article describes its additional aspect which can be defined as personalistic, which is excellently depicted in the Biblical story of Joseph of Egypt. It consists in the acts of this virtue contributing to building full interpersonal reconciliation. More focus on this aspect may bring about a better understanding of the reconciliation process and its practical requirements.

Cnota "vindicatio" była znana już w starozytności. Znaleziono także opis dokonany przez św. Tomasza według którego vindicatio miał ważną rolę w wymierzenia kary, tak by mogła ona służyć nawróceniu grzesznika i przywróceniu sprawiedliwości. W artykule opisano jego dodatkowy aspekt tej cnoty, który może być zdefiniowany jako personalistyczny - jest bardzo dobrze zobrazowany w biblijnej historii Józefa z Egiptu. Składa się z pewnych aktów, przyczyniając się ostatecznie do budowania pełnego pojednania międzyludzkiej. Położenie większego nacisku na ten aspekt może doprowadzić do lepszego zrozumienia procesu pojednania i jej praktycznych wymagań.

Joseph is born as a very expected and wanted child. The translation of this name is may God multiply or just add. Sold by brothers gets to Egypt. In spite of adversities and injustice he is faithful to God. When he explains Pharaoh’s dream he is appointed governor of whole Egypt. During harvests he stores cereal in granaries to distribute it to the people in time of famine. When his family also suffers from hunger it comes to Egypt. Joseph makes himself known to his brothers and without bearing them a grudge for done wrong he brings father and whole family and settles them in the most fertile part of Egypt. Joseph’s history is the story of the shaping and strengthening belief in God. His way is the way of kenosis. Joseph saves people from death by starvation. He is so then an announcement of Messiah who will pass the way of stripping by saving all people from their sins and eternal death. This story gives also an answer to the question: what is mature piety of Christian life. This maturity is expressed in the fact to see, understand and accept the story of our life.
