The article highlights issues related to the offense of religious feelings in the context of the main symbol of Christianity: the cross. Feelings in general, including religious feelings, are not imaginary. They play an important role in the lives of both individuals and the community. They motivate a person’s moral choices. There is no religion without feelings. Above all, insulting religious feelings is an offense against religious freedom. A deliberate public insult to a believer’s feelings is a violation of the law. There are several ways to offend religious feelings relating directly to a believer and his or her worship activities as well as sacred places. The most important symbol of Christianity, the cross, is often used by certain circles hostile to religion in general and Christianity in particular, deliberately seeking to offend religious feelings. In this way, it becomes a favored object of offense that is easy to manipulate.

The author of the article Christ as the face of the Father’s mercy. A top-down and theophanic conception of God’s Mercy draws the most fundamental approach to the mystery of mercy as a form of the inner revelation of the Triune God's life from the ample Polish literature devoted to the issue of God’s Mercy, and analyzes it. Also practicing mercy, according to this conception, may be done in the right way if its features are recognized in Jesus Christ the Incarnated Son’s deeds. The author calls this perspective of theology of mercy “a top-down conception”, as humanity is not able to comprehend the essence of mercy without the aid of the supernatural world that, on the one hand, shows what God is like in His essence, and on the other, how one should follow God to be saved. God's self-revelation in the salutary events becomes – according to the author – the best interpretation key of God's theology of mercy, showing His Trinitarian character.

The article recalls the event of 27 July 2006, when Soile Lautsi, an Italian citizen, on behalf of herself and her two minor children Dataico and Sami Albertin, filed a complaint against the Italian Republic with the European Court of Human Rights. Soile Lautsi alleged that the presence of a crucifix in the classrooms of the school her children attended contravenes the idea of freedom of belief and religion and violates her right to raise and teach her children in accordance with her own religious and philosophical convictions (her secular worldview). As the judgment of the Chamber of the Court of 3 November 2009 caused controversy not only in Italy but also in many European countries, governments of many countries, NGOs and members of the European Parliament joined the proceedings before the Court as interveners as a third party.

Olsztyn Group has been formed in the later phase of the Migration Period (Phase E), developed in Masurian Lake District. This group had maintained lots of contacts with southern and western areas of Europe which can be proof, by the found goods of external origin. At the end-stage of Olsztyn Group (7th) round brooches with various ornament become popular. One of them was the brooches ornamented with the cross. Made of bronze and silver has in central part placed filigree cross or its imitation. These items are unique because that kind of ornament had been used in the western part of Europe in the area of upper Rhine. Popular among Franks, Alamans and Turings because dissemination of Christian religion. Strong believes about protective function of cross had been reason of placing it at ceramic and weapon by cultures of western Europe. The same symbol or its imitation had been used by culture at Mazurian Lakelands due the lack of union this kind of symbol with the local lands. Round brooches from Tumiany cannot be connected with influence of Christian mission. There is no evidence to support such a claim. Most likely, brooches with cross ornament had been used by citizens of Mazury as typical jewelry without connection with it religious meaning. But these artifacts may indicate extensive contacts with western Europe and earliest contacts with Christianity, in this part of the continent.

The Christian “Lifetree” seems to be often omitted today in its fundamental role as the one, which brings us Christ’s redemption. As for Christians the “Lifetree” is the cross, Jesus Christ itself, His torment and resurrection, redemption of human from the original sin, and thereby giving him the eternal life. This way-in purely general terms- could be answered the question: what signifies the term “Lifetree” for Christians. However in order to explain it rightly, we need to relay on the Holy Scripture and look at its beginning, at Genesis, which explained us the world formerly an today - unfortunately - tends to be seen as fairy tale, which should moralize the human and teach him to obey God. No wonder, that the human has lost his ability to understand the reality and like by snake deceived Eve in paradise, is confused. Jesus said: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (J 14,6). However today-in the modern world involved in sin-this Truth is being questioned increasingly in its essential value.

The article is aimed at providing health services with a cross-border element. Closer attention is paid to cross-border cooperation in the field of emergency medical services on the Czech-German border. The legal regulation in this area was significantly modified together with the adoption of the Framework Agreement between the Czech Republic and the Federal Republic of Germany on cross-border cooperation in the field of emergency medical services. This agreement is aimed at strengthening and streamlining cooperation in the provision of urgent pre-hospital care. In addition to the initial definition of the issue, the article focuses mainly on the issue of so-called transfer of patients at the border and on the possibility of choosing a patient among the providers of emergency medical services, respectively downstream providers of acute inpatient care. The issue will be outlined in more detail, especially from the perspective of the Czech emergency medical service. In all cases, these are procedures that arouse the long-term interest of the professional and lay public.

According to teaching of John Paul II looking at a reality of suffering in the perspective of a redemptive work of Jesus Christ is a vital moment which points at an essential correctness in presenting a sense of suffering. This is why it is around this view on the mystery of suffering a merit-related assessment of Polish preaching on the subject should be concentrated. Redemptive events are the basis for understanding a value of suffering which often touch human existence in a painful way. Thought of John Paul II is harmonious with homilies which try to explain the sense of suffering in the light of the mystery of redemption. A very positive element on preaching is showing a reality of suffering in the light of Christ’s victory that was won in resurrection. Among negative tendencies visible in the analysed homilies one should mention the fact that some preachers, looking for a sense of suffering in the light of faith, refer to the light that comes from the redemptive events only in a limited way, or show the value and meaning of the cross without their link to a soteriology. A serious weakness of many homilies is underlying the mystery of passion of Christ without its natural connection to the mystery of His resurrection. A certain group of authors cannot see a relation between the truth of a redemptive suffering and the truth of a primeval love of God for men.

Death is inscribed in the physical nature of man and arouses in him a lot of uncertainty, fear and sadness. Although the inevitable death is still difficult to explain, especially when it concerns children who have not been able to reach maturity much. St. Gregory of Nyssa devoted a lot of space in his writings to its understanding and the preparation of the faithful for its reception. For man is a corporeal and spiritual being, created by almighty God in his image and likeness. The material body has been animated by the immortal soul. For man combines elements of material and non-material reality. Death is the moment when the two elements separate. Concerned about the fate of man, God sent his Only-begotten Son into the world, who, taking human nature, accomplished the work of salvation in it, dying on the cross and rising, which was a great victory over death. The resurrection of Christ became not only a demonstration of God's omnipotence, but a foreshadowing of the resurrection of all people, because in it human nature regained its original state, which people lost due to the sin of their first parents. St. Gregory of Nyssa, emphasizing the effects of the work of redemption, points out that a person should not fear death, because he can prepare for its encounter by practicing a virtuous life on earth. For man's goal is to see God, and he can achieve them by keeping the commandments and following the attitude of the incarnate Son of God, which reveals to mankind what is necessary in God's eyes to participate in the glory of the Kingdom of Heaven.

Jesus’s admonition to Peter is the result of Christ’s faithful realization of God’s plan of salvation, which includes passion, death and resurrection. Peter shows a misunderstanding of the Master’s words, responding to Jesus with words which express the wish that events, diffi cult to accept by human kind, would not be fulfi lling. The response of Christ is not so much an expression of rejection and condemnation, but a call to follow Jesus in the position as a disciple, who totally obeys his Lord. Jesus admonishes the Apostle so that Peter can understand his mistake and change his behavior. The message of Jesus has a universal dimension. Every one of His disciples is called to follow Him, taking his cross upon his shoulders, completely giving and entrusting his life to Him, because this is the only way which leads to eternal life.

Upomnienie Jezusa skierowane do Piotra wynika z wiernej realizacji przez Chrystusa Bożego planu zbawienia, który obejmuje mękę, śmierć i zmartwychwstanie. Piotr ukazuje niezrozumienie słów Mistrza, czego wynikiem są słowa skierowane do Jezusa, wyrażające życzenie, żeby nie spełniły się trudnie do zaakceptowania po ludzku wydarzenia. Odpowiedź Chrystusa jest nie tyle wyrazem odrzucenia i potępienia, ile wezwaniem do pójścia za Nim w pozycji ucznia, który całkowicie podporządkowuje się swemu Panu. Jezus upomina apostoła, aby ten mógł zrozumieć swój błąd i zmienić swoje postępowanie. Przesłanie Chrystusa ma wymiar uniwersalny. Każdy Jego uczeń jest wezwany, by iść za Nim, biorąc swój krzyż na ramiona, całkowicie oddając i powierzając Jemu własne życie, bo to jest jedyna droga, która prowadzi ku życiu wiecznemu.

The Prayer of Jesus on the Cross

EN
The Passion Narratives in Synoptic Gospels present Jesus on the cross not only as a Messias patiens, but also as a Messias orans. This article constitutes an attempt to show a synoptic picture of the Crucified who prays. In the first part of the article we focus on the nonverbal dimension of Jesus’ prayer on the cross, e.g. on the posture of his body forced by the means of execution and on his laud, inarticulate cry of the agony. In the second part, the subject of the analysis becomes three of seven “last words of Jesus”, that assume the form of prayer: Luc 23,34a; Mt 27,46; Luc 23,46.

Powiat raciborski położony jest na południu Polski, obejmuje najbardziej na zachód wysuniętą część województwa śląskiego. Obszar ten jest skarbnicą ciekawych wytworów kultury duchowej i materialnej. Jednym z przykładów są znaki krzyża świętego na elewacjach domów. Najczęściej umieszcza się je na ścianach frontowych, ale występują także od strony podwórza. Czasem są to wyżłobione na tynku wklęsłe znaki, czasem bywają wypukłe, czyli krzyż zostaje wysunięty nieco przed lico ściany. Bywa, że uformowany jest z cegły. Bardzo popularny na badanym obszarze jest krzyż utworzony z dwóch pasków lustrzanych lub geometrycznie wyciętych kawałków lusterek. Wokół krzyży czasami występują ornamenty z motywami roślinnymi, z inicjałami fundatorów lub z datą budowy domu. Ten architektoniczny szczegół, będący materialnym symbolem religijnym, dowodzi wiary minionych pokoleń, jest obrazem wartości, jakimi żyli przodkowie, wyrazem religijnych, obyczajowych, estetycznych i kulturowych potrzeb społeczności lokalnych.

The Racibórz County is located in the south of Poland and covers the westernmost part of the Province of Silesia. This area is a treasury of interesting products of spiritual and material culture. A good example of this are the signs of the holy cross on the facades of houses. Most often they are found on the front walls, but they also appear on the walls facing the yard. Sometimes they are concave signs carved in plaster, and sometimes they are convex, that is, the cross is slightly above the surface of the wall. Some crosses are formed of bricks. A cross made of two mirror strips or geometrically cut mirror pieces is very popular in the studied area. The crosses are sometimes surrounded with ornaments with floral motifs and/or the initials of the founders, or with the date of the house’s construction. This architectural detail, being a material religious symbol, proves the faith of past generations and is an image of the values that ancestors lived by, an expression of the religious, moral, aesthetic and cultural needs of the local communities.

Composers who worked in postwar Gdańsk came to the city from different part of the prewar Poland. Their cultural and educational background was related to their own local tradition, rather different than Gdańsk’s. Those personal experience made their music strongly bonded with their rooted tradition than with the region of Pomerania. To this group of composers belong Władysław Walentynowicz and Konrad Pałubicki. In fact in achievement of Henryk Hubertus Jabłoński we can observe much more references to the city of Gdańsk and Pomerania region because of his prewar Gdańsk’s roots. From this perspective we can noticed that diversity of artistic paths have its deep source in musical experience of personal musical origin and tradition.
