The aim of this article is to show that Father Michael Sopocko, in his writings, presented the virtue of trust as the basis of the spirituality of mercy. This author, now blessed of the Catholic Church, was the first to carry out the mission of extending the devotion to Divine Mercy in the form given by Jesus to Sister Faustina. He elaborated on this theologically and pastorally. One might say that he built the foundation of the spirituality of mercy of modern times. The article shows how Sopocko understood the essence of the virtue of trust and what qualities he attributed to it, as well as how he perceived the importance of this virtue in Christian life and what role he attributed to it in the devotion to Divine Mercy. The author in question grounded his analyses on the virtue of trust primarily in the Word of God, which he frequently referred to. He also referred in some of his writings to the issue of the new forms of devotion to Divine Mercy and, in their context, showed trust as the foundation of the spirituality of mercy. The article uses the method of analysing the writings of Michael Sopocko with commentaries. The result of this analysis is the conclusion that the virtue of trust is not only an indispensable element of a properly understood spirituality of mercy, without which this spirituality would be incomplete and skewed, but is in fact the basis of this spirituality and gives it its proper direction.

Spiritual direction in the relationship of Bl. Fr. Michael Sopocko and St. S. Faustina is a clear example of the effective cooperation of God, the spiritual director, and the person benefiting form the service. The Saint’s confessor has shown three stages of spiritual development, discovery, and fulfillment of God’s will. The first is to keep external precepts and laws in which God’s will is revealed. The second is to discover, discern, and follow inner inspirations. The third is to put ourself at God’s total and unconditional disposal. At each stage, the desire of self-offering as a sacrifice, like Jesus Christ, increases. The role of the spiritual director is also increasing, who not only supports the discernment of God's will, assists in recognizing the deception of the enemy of the soul, helps to avoid mistakes, supports in difficult experiences and times of trials, but also helps in choosing the best way to implement God’s plans.The purpose of this article is to provide practical guidance and ways to apply them in spiritual direction to the service-giver and the person taking benefits from this form of assistance on the way of sanctification.
PL
Kierownictwo duchowe w relacji bł. ks. Michała Sopoćki i św. s. Faustyny jest klarownym przykładem skutecznej współpracy Boga, kierownika duszy i osoby korzystającej z tej formy posługi. Spowiednik Świętej ukazał trzy etapy rozwoju duchowego, odkrywania i wypełniania woli Bożej. Pierwszy to zachowywanie zewnętrznych nakazów i ustaw, w których wyraża się wola Boża. Drugi polega na odkrywaniu, rozeznawaniu i podążaniu za natchnieniami wewnętrznymi. Trzeci to oddanie się do całkowitej i bezwarunkowej dyspozycji Bogu. Na każdym etapie wzrasta gotowość do coraz pełniejszej ofiary z siebie na wzór Jezusa Chrystusa. Wzrasta też rola kierownika duchowego, który nie tylko wspiera w rozeznawaniu Bożej woli, pomaga rozpoznać zwodzenie nieprzyjaciela duszy, ułatwia unikania błędów, wspiera w trudnych doświadczeniach i chwilach prób, ale także pomaga w doborze najlepszego sposobu realizacji zamiarów Bożych. Artykuł ma na celu dostarczenie praktycznych wskazówek i sposobów ich zastosowania w kierownictwie duchowym dla posługującego i korzystającego z tej formy pomocy na drodze uświęcania.
