A che cosa serve il sacerdozio all’interno di una società e in che cosa consiste il suo vero significato e la funzione? Il sacerdozio e i sacerdoti erano sempre uguali o si dovrebbe piuttosto parlare di una evoluzione di tale istituzione religiosa? Per poter rispondere a queste e ad altre domande faremo un percorso di quattro tappe. Cominceremo dalle religioni che si chiamano naturali, poi si fermeremo un po’ per domandarsi che cosa era il sacerdozio dell’Antico Testamento, quando è nato e quale era il suo ruolo. Poi passeremo al sacerdozio della nuova alleanza per verificare che cosa è cambiato al riguardo con la venuta di Cristo. Infine, prenderemo in considerazione l’evoluzione del sacerdozio dal tempo di Gesù fino ad oggi per vedere fino a che punto la chiesa è riuscita a rimanere fedele al quadro ideale del sacerdozio presente nel Nuovo Testamento.

This article seeks to explore how positive psychology can benefit human formation as an essential part of preparation for the priesthood by promoting the development of strengths, rather than solely focusing on overcoming human weaknesses. Through this approach, the author suggests ways in which incorporating a positive psychology perspective along with epistemological rules as well as an anthropological point of view can further the multidisciplinary dialogue between the worlds of grace and the social sciences.

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 purpose of the article is to show the identity of the priest resulting from participation in the only priesthood of Christ and to indicate the main places of the priestʼs responsibility towards the Eucharist, of which he is the minister. The Church teaches that with the event of Jesus Christ, the Old Testament priesthood is replaced by the priesthood of Christ, and since then priests, by virtue of the ordained sacrament, exercise their office by participating in the only priesthood of Jesus Christ and exercise it in persona Christi Capitis. The ministerial priesthood becomes a special task to proclaim the Gospel and celebrate the Holy Sacraments. This task, responsibility, first and foremost relates to the mystery of the Eucharist, in which the ministry of priests finds its fullness. A dignified celebration of the Holy Sacrifice in the congregation of the faithful, care for respecting and deepening the awareness of the Sacrum Eucharist and receiving it in a state of sanctifying grace, these are the main places of responsibility of priests who, being ministers of the Eucharist, are especially responsible for it.

Kapłaństwo – Dar i Tajemnica

The Year for Priests concluded on 11 June 2010 was a special opportunity for the Church to reflect on priesthood in the changing situation. Contemporary attempts made by priests to give priority to ago over esse (acting over being) urgently require thinking over the essence of priesthood again with respect to that esse; and in this task defining it as a gift and mystery may be helpful. Such a definition of priesthood is not a new thing, but also today it may be considered a topical key for understanding its essence. The Holy Scriptures and the Tradition of the Church emphasize that the gift of God is the source of priesthood and its nature. The gift is presented to the very person who is ordained, but also to the Church, or even to the whole mankind. The statement saying that priesthood is a gift also leads to recognizing a mystery in it. It is the mystery of God's love why He summons only some people, and not others; why He grants his grace only to some people. The gift of priesthood is a mystery also in the sense that it makes one able to celebrate God's mysteries. The particular connection between the ordained person and Christ is a mystery, which is expressed in the statement that a priest acts in persona Christi. If priesthood is God's gift and at the same time a mystery of God's choice, one may not demand it as if it were his due right. Nobody possesses the right to receive the sacrament of Holy Orders. It is God's gift that is the foundation of priest's service and of this exceptional dignity of the one who accepts the gift. At the same time the gift gives rise to obligations on the part of the one who is presented with this dignity, but also on the part of all those to whom the service is directed. It requires agreement and cooperation from the one who receives the gift. The duties of the community are reduced to accepting the gift with gratitude. Talking about priesthood as of a gift and a mystery is ultimately a defense of the primacy of grace in the priestly vocation. It also agrees with the whole vision of moral life based on a gift and demanding a free answer from a man.

The study entitled: La missione del sacerdote nel pensiero del beato don Jerzy Popiełuszko – un martire contemporaneo della Polonia (“The Mission of the Priest in the thought of Bl. Jerzy Popiełuszko, a modern priest-martyr from Poland”) explores the theology of priesthood in the light of the thought and example of Bl. Father Jerzy Popiełuszko. The essay covers the following issues: 1) Fr Jerzy Popiełuszko in the context of the times he lived in; 2) The mission of the priest is to be close to God and to people; 3) The mission of the priest is to proclaim the Good News; 4) The mission of the priest is to minister the Sacraments; 5) The mission of the priest is to nurture hope; 6) The mission of the priest is to die for the Faith. The Author concludes that the phenomenon of Fr Jerzy Popiełuszko, which came into its full force after his martyr’s death, allows us to see him as a clear model for modern priests. The blessed martyr from Warsaw reminds us that sanctity can be attained and lived in all historical contexts. Fr Jerzy also comes across as an exemplar of a very engaged shepherd of souls who walked the path to holiness whilst also working closely with many lay people who showed a special readiness to work with him and solicitude for the good of the Church in a world at war against God, the Church and its priests.

Priests were present in world literature from its beginning as a closely linked literary and religious culture. Priests were the first writers. Sacred and secular texts show priests as an intermediary between god and man, especially in the act of sacrifice. Sometimes he is a personification of certain religious, moral and political issues. Catholic priests are sometimes depicted as followers of Christ and servants of the servants of God. They may be heroic figures, reflecting life for God and people, or practical, close to people in their daily lives with a sense of humor. A priest serves as a moral authority, although he is not devoid of human weaknesses and shortcomings, with tolerance condemned in the satirical songs.

The men of the hnr

The ancient Egyptian priesthood has been the centre of several Egyptological studies in the past decades. One religious group, the xnr, has been particularly discussed among Egyptologists. The nature of the duties of its members still raises questions, as many scholars consider them to be members of the king’s harem and others as simple musicians and dancers. The cause of so much debate is the primary presence of women in the iconographic representations of the group. However, several primary sources attest to the involvement of men from the Old Kingdom onward. This paper explores the representations of men within the xnr during the Old Kingdom in the images and the texts. The results reveal that men are documented as members of the xnr, from the Old Kingdom onward and occupied different levels within the group.

The iconographic repertoire of the Old Kingdom tombs seems to show that the funerary cult during this period was developed by an important number of people that were able to hold a wide variety of titles. Among those, there is one that looms as particularly frequent: the Hm-kA. Usually known as the ka-servant or ka-priest, this title is almost omnipresent in Old Kingdom tombs. His main function was to satisfy the necessities of his deceased lord by providing his funerary cult with all kinds of offerings. However, in order to ensure the proper functioning of the cult and its supply, they also developed functions in the management of the properties allotted to its finance. The service of the ka was considered by ancient Egyptians as a communitarian system composed of several members, including women also. This circumstance makes the Hmt-kA one of the few female ritualists in the Old Kingdom. In this paper, I have aimed to shed light upon the position of the female ka-servants in relation to their male counterparts. By using both iconographic and textual sources, the paper aims at understanding what women’s means of access to the ka-servant office were, what responsibilities they held and what rights they enjoyed. The most limited occurrence of the Hmt-kA in the sources seems to reveal a preference for men above women, and an assistance role for the latter. Despite this situation, we also find evidence of females reaching powerful positions inside the hierarchical structure of the ka-service, consequently one can suggest that, once inside the institution, women had similar rights to those of men.

Rok kapłański ogłoszony przez Benedykta XVI w 2009 r. jest okazją do teologicznej refleksji nad sakramentami Kapłaństwa i Eucharystii oraz ich miejsca wśród Bożych darów. Pierwsza część artykułu odnosi się do nauki Kościoła dotyczącej jedyności kapłaństwa i Eucharystii, która objawia wyjątkowy aspekt ofiary Chrystusa jako koniecznego środka na drodze do świętości. Część druga oparta jest na pismach św. Jana Marii Vianneya, który w swoim nauczaniu podejmował takie tematy, jak posługa pojednania człowieka z Bogiem, rozumienie konsekracji Eucharystycznej dla życia wspólnoty oraz wezwanie do nowego życia. Wymienione tematy wskazują na wykorzystanie dogmatów w praktyce katolickiej wiary. List papieski proklamujący Rok Kapłański wskazuje, jak możliwe jest wypełnienie wskazań nauki wiary w codziennym życiu. Przykładem jest tu osoba św. Jana Marii Vianneya, który kierował się nade wszystko miłością do Boga i powierzonej sobie wspólnoty i który stał się świadkiem działania Bożej łaski.

The Year for Priests proclaimed by Benedict XVI in 2009 is a great opportunity for theological reflection on the sacraments of priesthood and the Eucharist, and their role in bestowing God’s graces and gifts. This publication consists of two parts. The first one is a reference to the Church doctrine on the question of the uniqueness of priesthood and on the uniqueness of the Eucharist, which essentially reveals the exceptional aspect of the Christ’s sacrifice as necessary means on the way to holiness. The second part of the publication is based on the works of Saint John Baptist Marie Vianney, who in his teaching took up the subjects such as the service of reconciliation between people and God, the meaning of consecrating the Host for the life of a community and the call for new life. The topics mentioned above are a form of practical use of the dogmas of the Catholic faith. The letter of Benedict XVI proclaiming the Year for Priests shows in what way it is possible to fulfill the recommendations of the teaching of the faith in everyday life. A great example (and at the same time an advocate) of this is Saint John Baptist Marie Vianney himself, who most of all was driven by his love to God and to the parish community which was entrusted to him, and which is the witness of the acts of God’s grace.

Najkrótsza definicja salezjańskiego duszpasterstwa młodzieży zawiera się w trzech pojęciach: oratorium, asystencji, systemu prewencyjnego. W Polsce salezjanie działają duszpastersko na wielu płaszczyznach zarówno w szkołach, jak i w czasie wolnym młodzieży. Młode osoby podlegające oddziaływaniu duszpasterstwa salezjańskiego w Polsce jako jego mocne strony wymieniają: odpowiedź na samotność, atmosferę domu, doświadczenie wspólnoty. Z drugiej strony młodzi ludzie zwracają salezjanom uwagę na: niedostosowanie form duszpasterstwa do współczesnych czasów, niedobór pociągających propozycji dla młodzieży, brak poważnego, partnerskiego traktowania młodzieży, brak prawdziwego, odpowiedzialnego angażowania młodych w dzieła salezjańskie, odejście od charyzmatu oraz zapraszanie młodych nie do awangardy duszpasterskiej, ale do mentalnego skansenu księdza Bosko. Dostrzeżenie mocnych stron i pewnych mankamentów stawia przed salezjanami w Polsce spore wyzwania w zakresie duszpasterstwa młodzieży. Duże znaczenie ma przede wszystkim powrót do charyzmatyczności – zainteresowanie się na nowo światem chłopców i młodych mężczyzn, a tym samym przeprowadzenie refleksji nad tym, jaki model dojrzałego mężczyzny chcemy zaproponować nastolatkom. Młodzież zachęca salezjanów również do świadomego odczytywania znaków czasu, odpowiadania na realne potrzeby środowisk, w których pracują, oraz działania wspólnotowego.

The shortest definition of Salesian’s youth priesthood comprise three notions: oratorio, assist, and preventative system. In Poland Salesians act both inthe schools and youth’s free time. Young people mention these pluses of Salesian’s work: the answer to loneliness, home ambiance, and togetherness. On the other side, they find wrong ways of priesthood in this day and age, the gap of the attractive priesthood offers, the deficiency of a dense partnership and responsible engagements in Salesian works, neglect the Bosco charisma, and offering spirit museum of John Bosco instead of priesthood avant-garde. For Salesians, many challenges will come out after noticing those advantages and disadvantages. First of all, concern about boys’ and young men’s daily lives as well as making some reflections about paradigm of a mature, responsible man we want to recommend. Youth encourage Salesians to read signs of the times in the attentive way, to respond to communities’ needs they work with and also to acts of unity.

Identity of the priest has fully realized in three pervade interactions: to God, to the people and to himself. Unfortunately in times when Catholic Church and priests are attacking, few people look towards on this gift and mystery in this way. Modern world wants to uncover “mystery” of priesthood through the prism of scandals and consumer goods. Bearing in mind the situation of modern man, who suffers on identity crisis, reconcile this situation in her three dimensions: Christological, ecclesiological and eschatological.

The article discusses the dignity and the vocation of women as seen by Saint Teresa Benedict of the Cross (Edith Stein). When God created of the man and the woman he gave them three tasks: being his image, populating the Earth and having the dominion over it. The woman has a greater gift, which is having custody of people, rather than of fighting. The original sin entered the human nature and weakened it but did not destroy it completely. The woman’s relationship with the man has changed. The woman, unsure of her dignity, strives to gain it by fighting with the man. The deepest desire of the female heart is, however, to love and to belong entirely to the loved one. The nature of women, though hurt by the original sin, can be reborn submitting to God. That does not mean that all women must become nuns but that each of them must become “the servant of the Lord”. The paradigm of it is the Mother of God. Mary is an example of three crucial virtues: obedience, trust, and the common life with the husband. The deepest feminine desire, when the woman can forget about herself and have her heart open to the needs and the suffering of others, can be achieved only in Eucharistic communion with Jesus.

Wenn man den Hauptziel der Jesu Christi Mission, dh. Seines im Namen der Menschen und für die Menschen gebrachtes Opfers, in Betracht zieht, muss man sein ganzes Leben als ein grosses Geschehen seines Priestertums sehen. Desto vollkomener ist das Priestertum, jeder Priester näher seinem Opfer bleibt und je vortrefflicher es ihn selbst vertretet. Christus der Hohepriester hat sich mit seiner Opfergabe geradezu identifiziert und dank seiner Gottes-Sohnes Würde hat er ihr einen Wert des selbst von Gott gebrachten Opfers. Um die Lehre über das ein einziges neutestamesitliches Priestertum deutlicher darzustellen, hat Hbr auch einen Vergleich Jesu mit Melchisedek gemacht; das Jesu Priestertum ist in jeder Hinsicht unvergleichbar so in Anschaung auf den speziellen Charakter seiner Bürgschaft des neuen Bundes wie auch auf den göttlichen Eid, der die ewige Wirksamkeit seines Priestertums garantiert.

Za pewnego rodzaju „klucz interpretacyjny” teologii kapłaństwa w ujęciu Jana Pawła II można uznać teologiczną i antropologiczną kategorię „daru z siebie”, poprzez który człowiek najpełniej może zrealizować swoje życiowe powołanie. „Dar z siebie” staje się podstawowym warunkiem uczestnictwa i budowania wspólnoty osób (communio personarum). W takiej perspektywie powołanie kapłańskie, jako spotkanie osób dokonujące się w dialogu pomiędzy Bogiem a człowiekiem, prowadzi do odkrycia dynamizmu „daru z siebie”. Według Jana Pawła II powołanie kapłańskie jest darem i tajemnicą. Otrzymany i przyjęty dar powołania wzywa bowiem do odpowiedzi nań poprzez wolny i bezinteresowny dar z samego siebie dla Boga i dla ludzi. Ta wzajemność w postawie daru odkrywa głębię tajemnicy miłości, która jako caritas pastoralis stanowi zasadę jednoczącą życie i posługę prezbitera. Kapłańska postawa Jana Pawła II jest najlepszym potwierdzeniem jego nauczania na temat kapłaństwa jako „daru z siebie”, a jednocześnie to nauczanie jest odzwierciedleniem jego osobistej świętości kapłańskiej.

The theological and anthropological category of “the gift of selfgiving”, through which a man can fully realize his life vocation, can be accepted as a certain kind of “interpretative key” of priesthood theology seen by John Paul II”. The gift of selfgiving” becomes the vital condition of participating and building community of people (communio personarum). In such a perspective, priestly vocation, as the meeting of persons done in the dialogue between God and a human being, leads to discovering dynamism of the “gift of selfgiving”. According to John Paul II, priestly vocation is a gift and a mystery. For received and accepted gift of vocation calls for accepting it by free and unbiased gift of selfgiving for God, and for people. This mutuality in the attitude of the gift, discovers the depth of the mystery of love, which as caritas pastoralis constitutes the rule, uniting the life and ministry of the presbyter. Priestly attitude of John Paul II is the best confirmation of his teaching about priesthood as “the gift of selfgiving” and at the same time this teaching is the reflection of his personal priestly holiness.

Jubileuszowy „Akt przyjęcia Jezusa Chrystusa za Króla i Pana” z 19–20 listopada 2016 roku stawia przed teologami zadanie pogłębienia jego natury i jego treści. W proponowanym wykładzie zajmujemy się przede wszystkim jego podstawową treścią, którą jest królewskość Jezusa Chrystusa. Ponad wszelką wątpliwość wynika z Nowego Testamentu, że Jezus Chrystus jest królem, chociaż w całkowicie szczególnym i najbardziej wzniosłym znaczeniu. Jego królewskość ma przede wszystkim głęboki rys kapłański oraz eschatologiczny. Nie zmienia to jednak faktu, że ma ona konkretny wyraz eklezjalny, którego manifestacją są męczennicy, a następnie wszyscy świeci i dążący do świętości

In the recent years the question of the kingship of Jesus Christ, which has always been present in theology, has gained in significance in Polish theology as a result of various religious and social movements which appeared as attempts to interpret signs of the times, especially the pressures connected with secularisation, which can be observed also in Polish culture. The issue calls for systematic deepening. The article points out, especially the biblical grounds of the royal dignity of Christ, which can be found in the fragments describing His birth, but also His trial ended with the crucifixion. The events of Christ’s life show how He gains universal reign and how it is fulfilled. It is the Christ’s cross that has the greatest significance in this respect. It is the ultimate sign of His kingship and the key reference point of every interpretation of this aspect of His dignity in terms of both its historical realisation and its eschatological fulfilment. It has to be noted, that the kingship of Christ is priestly in character and that it is open to participation in it. Martyrs in the first plays, but also all the Christians may participate in it in the form of imitation since they prolong the redemptive work of Christ in their own life. Christ’s kingship is by all means an open kingship and it makes itself present in the history through His believers.
