Contemporary ecclesiology postulates: „the Church as communion might be more clearly understood and concretely incorporated into life” (The Final Report of the Extraordinary Synod). This idea should pervade all actions of presbyters and influence a new style of priesthood. This is confirmed both by post-council teaching of the Church and the teaching of the Church in Poland. It was particularly developed in a post-synodal exhortation Pastores Dabo Vobis (1992) in which John Paul II emphasised that „the ecclesiology of communion becomes decisive for understanding the identity of the priest, his essential dignity, and his vocation and mission”. Other documents of Magisterium Ecclesiae followed this direction. Three documents of the Congregation for the Clergy deserve special attention: Directory on the Ministry and Life of Priests (1994), a letter The Priest and the Third Christian Millennium, Teacher of the Word, Minister of the Sacraments and Leader of the Community (1999) and an instruction The Priest, Pastor and Leader of the Parish Community (2002). Among Polish documents there are two written by the Second Polish Plenary Synod that deserve special attention: Needs and Tasks of a New Evangelisation at the Break of the Second and the Third Christian Millennium and Priesthood and Consecrated Life as Community of Life and Ministry with Christ. The documents emphasise that a priest should always remember that he „sanctifies himself by his care for a community which had been entrusted to him. This care should be manifested in being with a community and in a community”. Therefore the synod suggests that „in nominating parish priests one should take into account not so much and not only seniority and achievements but practical pastoral skills, especially the ability of team-work and a social sensitivity”.

The Divine origin of the Church and the implication of the works of the Holy Trinity is expressed by the people united in the unity of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. This means people integrated into the unique community called communio. It is the relationship of man with the Triune, Personal Creator, Redeemer and Savior of the human race in the “interdependence”, which we call – the Church. This community, began in the consciousness of faith, seeks to reach the eschatic fulfillment. One immersed in it experiences the salvific mediation in communication with the Risen Christ. The saving communication is a gift and participation in the divine life, “through” and “in” the mediation of the Church. Father Franciszek Blachnicki, the Servant of God, has seen his own deepest roots in the ecclesiology of communion. The originality of his approach is based on a splendid interpretation of ecclesial reflection on Church which was done by The Second Vatican Council. Blachnicki has also sought to implement this vision in the authentic transmission of the faith in the Church. He has seen the Church as the Community way of the man towards salvation fulfilled in Jesus Christ. In today’s context of the new evangelization this reflection can be undeniably considered as an idea of a truly prophetic kind.

Boskie pochodzenie Kościoła i implikacja dzieła Trzech Osób Boskich wyraża lud zjednoczony w jedności Ojca i Syna i Ducha Świętego. W nim człowiek zanurzony doświadcza pośrednictwa zbawczego w komunikacji z Chrystusem Zmartwychwstałym. Zbawcza komunikacja to dar i uczestnictwo w Boskim życiu, przez i w pośrednictwie Kościoła. Swoje głębokie zakorzenienie w eklezjologii communio doskonale widział Sługa Boży ks. Franciszek Blachnicki. Oryginalność jego spojrzenia polega na tym, iż doskonale odczytał myśl eklezjalną Soboru Watykańskiego II. Dążył także do zaimplementowania tejże wizji w autentycznym przekazie wiary w Kościele. Blachnicki widział Kościół, który jest wspólnotową drogą człowieka ku zbawieniu wypełnionym w Jezusie Chrystusie. Na tym tle niezaprzeczalnie można dzisiaj uznać tę myśl za iście prorocką w kontekście nowej ewangelizacji.
