The present paper is an attempt at analytical presentation of selected elements of an evangelical foundation that John Paul II shapes to be the basis of revival activities of “the countenance of earth” towards civilization of love. In his teaching and activities, John Paul II refers to universal brotherhood of all people and to love for every single human being. People should earnestly strive for fourfold primacy in the orientation of the human spirit, that is for the primacy of a person over a thing, ethics over technology, “be more” over “have more”, and mercifulness over justice. Such primacy determines the directions for the building of civilisation of love, which protects the fundamental good, which is human life. Elementary respect for life thus constitutes the most essential condition for building civilisation of love. The paper aims to uncover again and revitalize the timeliness of the message.

The reflections undertaken in the present paper take their origin from the issue of the divorce of faith and life, so well visible in the contemporary world, which attracted the attention of the Vatican Council II in Gaudium et spes (nr 43). With a view to deepening the issue, certain features characteristic of the present world’s spiritual condition will be discussed. being taken into consideration and described as being of crucial importance for the Church’s evangelization work, which always has to take notice of the culture context in which the work is accomplished. It is through taking notice of that context that the Vatican Council’s communion theology was born, which is undoubtedly an answer to the requirements of the contemporary evangelisation. The theology calls for further materialisation, particularly in the existential dimension. Accordingly, the paper draws attention to the possibility of a further development of the teaching of the Council, taking into consideration the relational character of the Christian religion. It demonstrates that this relational character can be existentially updated by fulfilling three pious acts: those of fast, alms, and prayer. While shaping the Christian spirituality, these acts can concurrently become a convincing sign of the authenticity of Christianity as well as a way of rebuilding man’s relation with the world of matter, with other people, and with God Himself.
