There are currently emphatic appeals for increased efforts in order to include laity in vita et in missione Ecclesiae in the areas of theology and ecclesiology. They define the lay person by negation, as a person without the charism of priesthood. Could you be responsible for situations in which you did not receive the gift of grace from the Holy Spirit? Rather the possession of a charism can create the proper Christian responsibility. In other words, this negative theology of laity cannot make for an ecclesial accountability, because it does not recognize in the lay people their own gifts of grace. It does not conceptualize the mysterious connection between every believer and Holy Spirit who dwells in him and who forms an outstanding vocation of every christifideles. This charismatic presence of the Holy Spirit causes everyone to be in a position of responsibility for their own charism in Ecclesia. So, the theology of charism plays the crucial role in a theoretical and a practical repair of ecclesiastic responsibility of lay people. It had been awakened by Vatican II but was present in theology and practiced in the church at most for two or three decades after only the council.

The article presents the forms of synodality in the different strands of Christianity: in the Eastern (Orthodox and Oriental), Old Catholic, Anglican, Lutheran, Reformed, Methodist and Evangelical Churches. The main mechanisms operating in the different denominations and their theological justification are indicated. This experience can inspire the Catholic search for living out synodality and the co-responsibility of all the baptized for the life and mission of the community. The text contains exemplary models of synodality in specific groups of Churches and Christian communities, and at the same time attempts to formulate postulates for discussion in the Catholic Church. Thus, on the one hand, the work has a reporting and systematizing character, and on the other hand, it can provoke conversation about the synod and synodality as the normal functioning of the community of the baptized.

The creation of Catholic Action in Poland was prepared very carefully for several years. Rev. August Hlond the Primate of Poland invited other church organizations with the statutes and organizational relationship with spiritual authority to join in the ranks of Catholic Action. Catholic Action Statute was approved by the Pope Pius XI with the letter dated 27 November 1930, stating its compliance with the directives of the Holy See. The celebration of Christ the King was established the day of the Catholic Action. In October 1932, the Supreme Institute for Catholic Action called on the diocesan institutes with an appeal to discern the future leaders of this association among the Catholic intelligentsia. Catholic Action has set itself the goal of re-introducing Jesus Christ to the family, school and society. The family as a whole has become the main influence of the Catholic Action movement. The goal of the newly restored Catholic Action (after 1989 transformation) is compatible with the goal of the entire Church: co-operation of Church hierarchy and lay people in helping people. In other words: the deepening and broadening of faith (including Christian morality), so that Christ could return to the conscience, family, national traditions, the relationship between social groups and to international relations.

Pastoral renewal through renewal of the Sunday assembly of believers is associated with multiple lines of action. At the forefront is the need for awareness of being the mysteries of faith and the Church, including in-depth evangelization and catechetical activities associated with the mystery of the Eucharist and the Church. Transformation of the parish road from hierarchical institutions to the parish as a living organism passes through the ecclesial community celebration of the sacraments, so that given by the priest, and lived by the laity, led to the survival of participation in the Church. Password: Like the Eucharist, like the parish mobilizes for an immediate, general work of renewal of the diocesan celebration of the Eucharist, especially on Sundays, in the spirit of Vatican II, to support the transformation in the modern parish. It should also transform the practice of Polish piety, also present in large cities, which tends to marginalize the Eucharist, the Mass. like „the way” to be completed practices of devotion. The Eucharist is often „lost” in the practice of the parish of the more popular and dripping with sentimentality occasional church services: month – of Mary evening devotions to the Blessed Virgin, Rosary Way of the Cross, to the Divine Mercy. Do not depreciating in any way these and other services, it is worth paying attention to the importance of the Eucharist and other liturgical accentuate the proportions in the thinking and practice of pastoral.

In the post-Council period, one can find different attempts at a synthesis of the declarations of the Council with regards to the theme of the apostolate of the laity. The authors recognizes that the faithful participate in the mission of the Church, with a variety of ministries, functions, and services for the common good and for the benefit of the entire body through being active members. The text maintains that Christian vocation and mission are inseparably united in the life of the faithful – one implies the other.

The article concerns the results of research on statements regarding parishes, which were presented in the Polish National Synthesis of the Synod 2021-2023. Participants of the synodal meetings revealed many problems in the functioning of their parishes, cooperation between the clergy and the laity, the subjectivity of the laity in the parish, and the role of the liturgy as the center of parish life. Research has shown that the methods of evangelization and formation of Fr. Franciszek Blachnicki (1921-1987) can and should be the answer to many reported problems. His methods of ecclesial renewal based on evangelization, deuterocatechumenate and liturgy turn out to be extremely adequate to the difficult issues related to personal relationships and pastoral structures established in parishes.

The word “culture” refers to everything, “whereby man develops and perfects his many bodily and spiritual qualities; he strives by his knowledge and his labour, to bring the world itself under his control. He renders social life more human both in the family and the civic community, through improvement of customs and institutions. Throughout the course of time he expresses, communicates and conserves in his works, great spiritual experiences and desires, that they might be of advantage to the progress of many, even of the whole human family” (Gaudium et spes No. 53). The Gospel, which assumes the shape of a culture from the beginning, wants to penetrate the culture of today as well. By its nature, it creates such a culture that helps people to reach their full personal development and thus enables them to live peacefully in the community. In the evangelization of cultures, the laity plays a special role. The Church calls upon Catholics “to be present, as signs of courage and intellectual creativity, in the privileged places of culture, that is, the world of education-school and university-in places of scientific and technological research, the areas of artistic creativity and work in the humanities” (Christifideles laici No. 44). It depends on their involvement in the proclamation of Christ and his message of salvation whether people are aware of their dignity and as free beings create spaces where any human person can find the true meaning of life. The Christian laity should be present on “the contemporary Aeropagus” in order to show the people the Divine truth, goodness and beauty which were revealed in the Savior Christ Jesus in full glory. The lay faithful have the task to put into practice their personal charisma and to work in union with the Pastors of the Church.

The author of this article shows input of saint John Paul II in the understanding of spirituality of lay people. The article proves that the papal teaching about the laity is a continuation of the teaching of The Second Vatican Council and also brings some new elements. The particular attention paid to the communion dimension of the Church should be emphasized. The author also discusses the participation of lay people in the threefold office of the Christ, incarnational dimension of the lay spirituality and the question of the common call to sanctity.

Autor artykułu ukazuje wkład św. Jana Pawła II w rozumienie duchowości ludzi świeckich. Udowadnia, że nauczanie papieża na temat laikatu stanowi kontynuację nauczania Soboru Watykańskiego II, ale wnosi też nowe akcenty. Na podkreślenie zasługuje szczególny akcent położony na komunijny wymiar Kościoła. Autor omawia też udział świeckich w potrójnym urzędzie Chrystusa, inkarnacyjny wymiar duchowości laikatu i kwestię powszechnego powołania do świętości.

The subject of this article is the call of lay people to the mystical life. The topic under consideration indicates two poles, around which the main reflection revolves: the mystic and the lay state of life. The call of lay people to mysticism is not just a hypothesis, but a real experience, researched and decribed by theologians. So reflecting on the call to the mystic life of lay people is not so much a matter of ‘whether’, but of ‘how’. In the light of the above, four issues are fundamental: the impossibility to provoke the mystical experience, its dependence on the spirituality of the baptism, the relation of contemplation to action and the relation to the world. It occurs however, that every Christian, together with God’s life of grace bestowed in baptism, receives the basis for the mystical life. Neither an active life in the world, nor work or marriage, hinders the development of this gift.

St George Preca, a Maltese priest who lived between 1880 and 1962, was canonised in 2007. Preca dedicated himself to the teaching of the catechism in Malta. Being aware that he could not undertake this endeavour all by himself, he embarked on the project of teaching the catechism with lay people. This was not a simple task prior to Vatican Council II. Notwithstanding this, George Preca was able to overcome all obstacles and give lay people the front positions. This was something that Vatican Council II was to do some years after Preca's death. This paper seeks to show how Preca was a pioneer in the apostolate of the laity. This will be done by showing how Preca not only recognised the laity's right to the apostolate, but how he united them as a group for a far-reaching apostolate, which while remaining obedient to the hierarchy, had a very deep impact because they had an adequate formation for the apostolate.

Święty George Preca to maltański ksiądz, który żył w latach 1880-1962, a kanonizowany został w 2007 r. Ks. Preca poświęcił się nauczaniu katechizmu na Malcie. Mając świadomość, że nie zdoła przeprowadzić tego sam, rozpoczął projekt nauczania katechizmu ze świeckimi. Przed Soborem Watykańskim II nie była to sprawa prosta. Mimo wszystko ks. Preca zdołał pokonać wszelkie przeszkody i znacznie uprzywilejować świeckich. Sobór Watykański II miał to zrobić kilka lat po jego śmierci. Niniejszy artykuł jest próbą pokazania, w jaki sposób ks. Preca został pionierem apostolstwa świeckich − nie tylko uznał prawo świeckich do apostolstwa, ale także zjednoczył ich jako grupę do perspektywicznego apostolatu, w posłuszeństwie hierarchii i z adekwatną do niego formacją.

The scale of suicide phenomenon leads to constantly asked questions about efficiency of prevention steps that supposed to save endangered human life. Religion, or more accurately religious involvement protects people from committing suicide. It seems that this efficiency could be even higher if Catholic priests and the strongly involved in parish life laity were involved in this activity. The research of Catholic priests in Poland that studied their ideas of partucipating in rescuing of would–be suicide does not show optimistic results. Lack of interest in the problem of suicides threatens with a sin of abandonment, in this case abandonment of a would-be suicide who needs help. The goal of this article is to show possibility of undertaking of substantial actions in pre- and post – syuicidal situations by clergy and laity in parish community. This goal has been accomplished.

Skala zjawiska samobójstw prowadzi do stale zadawanych pytań o skuteczność kroków profilaktycznych, które mają ratować zagrożone życie ludzkie. Religia, a dokładniej zaangażowanie religijne chroni ludzi przed popełnieniem samobójstwa. Wydaje się, że ta efektywność mogłaby być nawet większa, gdyby księża katoliccy i silnie zaangażowani w życie świeckich parafii byli zaangażowani w tę działalność. Badania księży katolickich w Polsce, które badały ich pomysły uczestniczenia w ratowaniu niedoszłego samobójcy, nie przynoszą optymistycznych rezultatów. Brak zainteresowania problemem samobójstwa grozi grzechem porzucenia, w tym przypadku porzuceniem niedoszłego samobójcy, który potrzebuje pomocy. Celem tego artykułu jest pokazanie możliwości podjęcia istotnych działań w sytuacjach przed i po syzydobójczych przez duchownych i świeckich w społeczności parafialnej. Ten cel został osiągnięty.

This article presents the family as a subject of ecclesial life, realising liturgical celebrations which result from the connection between the official liturgy of the Church and religious rituals cultivated in families. The crisis situation of the family, as a domestic church, resulting, among others, from the crisis situation of the Christian faith, is described. The reason for this is the radically secular dimension of contemporary culture, in which the dimension of transcendence is absent. Concrete manifestations of this phenomenon were shown by factors of randomness, relativism, temporality and autonomy. The inadequacy of the theoretical description of the world and of the concrete existence, in which the dimension of mystery is still present has been shown as an opportunity. In such a situation, the family appears as a possible carrier of the transcendent needs of secular man.

Artykuł przedstawia rodzinę jako podmiot życia kościelnego, przeprowadzającą celebracje liturgiczne, które wynikają z połączenia oficjalnej liturgii Kościoła z rytuałami religijnymi kultywowanymi w rodzinach. Autor opisuje sytuację kryzysową rodziny jako kościoła domowego, wynikającą m.in. z sytuacji kryzysowej wiary chrześcijańskiej. Powodem tego jest radykalnie świecki wymiar współczesnej kultury, w którym brakuje wymiaru transcendencji. Konkretnymi przejawami tego fenomenu są czynniki wyrywkowości, relatywizmu, doczesności i autonomii. Autor pokazuje, że nieadekwatność teoretycznego opisu świata i konkretnej egzystencji, w której wymiar tajemnicy jest wciąż obecny, okazała się szansą. W takiej sytuacji bowiem rodzina jawi się jako potencjalny nośnik transcendentnych potrzeb człowieka świeckiego.

The activity of the laity in aid of or substitution for the ministry of the clergy has become increasingly common in the Church. Citing various factual explanations, this article shows the growth of lay ministry from the 1950’s up until today. The doctrinal and normative determinations which the Hierarchy has made, since 1983, have established more precise and effective guidelines for these ministerial tasks. The author summarizes the most important normative documents on this subject, in particular, the Instr. Ecclesiae de mysterio. This text raises a variety of practical issues, including the duty of giving the ministerial works of the laity an adequate financial remuneration. Finally, it offers guidelines for the effective development of lay collaboration in the pastoral ministry.
