Sport is a very widespread and universal phenomenon that it has become an essential element of everyone’s life. Its value and pervasiveness has extremely great influence on youth. Practiced as the concept of the humanities and geared mainly towards the individual, not as it is sometimes only for money and fame, will shape responsibility and respect for the others. The practice of sport which is about great importance of a harmonious and full development of a human, i.e. body and soul, is addressed to all people, and also students of the Seminaries. Therefore, the more each alumnus in his formation, human, intellectual, spiritual and pastoral, aims for the priesthood cannot ignore the physical activity, as it will be a primary task to achieve personal maturity and becoming physically fitter. The love for sports by alumnus should become a building block of human solidarity in the way of friendship and goodwill in respect of each person you encounter. At the same time developing the physical prowess and becoming tougher should never distract alumnus from the spiritual duties. Therefore, each alumnus – the athlete, in addition to the spiritual dimension of seminary formation, may then work on practice of sport, which in many ways contributes to better preparation for priesthood.

P. Drzewiecki’s dissertation under analysis takes up the problem of media education in its relation to religious education at school. P. Drzewiecki discusses this problem in three parts of his text. The first part deals with the problem area of contemporary media education. It settles some terminological disputes, determines the objectives and tasks of the methodology of media education, exhibits the status quo of media educational programmes in selected member states of the European Union, presents the Church’s teaching on the media, reveals educational problems generated by the media, discusses the role of media education in the curricular philosophy of the Polish educational system, and – last but not least – it approaches the problem of employing media education in religious education at school. The second part of the volume offers an in-depth study of the tasks and objectives of the teacher of religion – also in his/her role of media educator. The third part of the study is an attempt to define directions for development of media education in the context of its employment in religious education at school. The dissertation subject to this review is targeted at the reader who shows a keen interest in media education as part of contemporary Polish educational system. It can also be of much use to students of academic courses that are in some way related to media education and to the task of communication of faith in contemporary reality (e.g. journalist studies, media education, education studies, theology).

The Wojtyła family is a special family which, in God’s plan, is an example of heroic faith, hope and love. The Pope’s parents were his role model and the perfect foundation for his journey to holiness. Prayer and the sacraments were a means of union with God. They fulfilled God’s will by living in the spirit of the Gospel and total devotion to Mary – Totus Tuus. Following the life and pontificate of John Paul II, the above article shows and illustrates the influence of parents on Karol, the future pope. Therefore, it is a great inspiration for families, educators, and caregivers who are nowadays looking for original, charismatic authorities that will inspire and lead them to the right path. In 2020, when the 100th anniversary of St. John Paul II’s birth was celebrated, on May 7, the Episcopate consented to the commencement of the beatification process of Karol and Emilia Wojtyła by the Archdiocese of Krakow. Thus, the Holy See was asked to start the process at the diocesan level. The initiation of the beatification process of Pope Wojtyła’s elder brother Edmund remains an open issue. He died in 1932, taking care of his sick patients at the hospital in Bielsko. Edmund received the title of Doctor of Medicine at the Jagiellonian University on March 29, 1930. The beatification committee was established in 1997. Karol Wojtyła’s family did not differ from the average Catholic family of that time. What distinguishes this family today is Love and Faithfulness to God and people. Devotion, service and humility. Holiness is a gift that the baptized receive with the first sacrament. As such, this gift should be nurtured and developed in the Catholic Church community through sacramental life and a life of prayer. The Wojtyła family is an example of fulfilling God’s will in everyday life. It abided with God and continues to do so.

Freedom is one of the most fervently fought for values and, at the same time, the very idea of freedom belongs to concepts that are essentially contested. This situation is a part of human brokenness, and in Christian formation, it has to be seriously dealt with. According to the popular view, ‘holiness’ is a life-negating and judgmental attitude towards everything ‘normal.’ In biblical usage, it connotes belonging to God as a gift in Christ. Spiritual formation begins with a biblical explanation of freedom and holiness. A Christian worldview has to be the background to Christian formation, functioning as a correction of the commonly- accepted naturalistic worldview. A personal experiential relationship with God is the key to successful growth towards realistic and practical holiness in daily life. ‘Dos and don’ts’ that usually arise at the beginning of religious education shall be experienced as liberating instructions, if they are offered as guidance to a fully persuaded mind and a devotedly loving heart.

In His salutary work God uses people whom we usually call catechists. They are the pupils who follow the Gospel and explain its contents to others. To be able to teach the rules of the new life they themselves have to be subjected to spiritual formation that is a process tending to shape a mature, ancillary and dialogic personality. Postconciliar documents on catechesis especially emphasize the role of lay people in the catechetic process. The present situation of the world, in which the formation of catechists has to take place, is characterized by temporariness, uncertainty of the future, which causes numerous difficulties in its adequate realization. The starting moment for the proper catechetic formation of lay catechists is the family environment, and then it is systematic catechization and the potential contained in religious movements and apostolic groups. A well formed catechist should be characterized by an ancillary attitude and he should represent an attitude that is open to a man’s problems. A catechist's mature personality is expressed by a practical synthesis of his life and service. It is always based on his personal prayer, teacher’s love, participation in the Eucharist, practicing Marian piety and a dynamism taken from following St Paul the Apostle, as the first model of efficient catechists.

W swoim zbawczym dziele Bóg posługuje się ludźmi, których zwyczajowo nazywamy katechetami. Są oni tymi uczniami, którzy podążają ścieżkami Ewangelii i przybliżają jej treści innym. Aby mogli nauczać zasad nowego życia, sami muszą podlegać duchowej formacji, która jest procesem zmierzającym do ukształtowania dojrzałej, służebnej i dialogicznej osobowości. Posoborowe dokumenty katechetyczne akcentują szczególnie rolę osób świeckich w procesie katechetycznym. Obecna sytuacja świata, w której musi dokonać się formacja katechetów, charakteryzuje się tymczasowością, niepewnością jutra, co powoduje liczne trudności w jej adekwatnym przeprowadzeniu. Momentem startu dla właściwej formacji katechetycznej świeckich katechetów jest środowisko rodzinne, następnie systematyczna katechizacja oraz potencjał zawarty w ruchach religijnych i grupach apostolskich. Dobrze uformowany katecheta powinien odznaczać się postawą służebną i reprezentować postawę otwartą na problemy człowieka. Dojrzała osobowość katechety wyraża się w praktycznej syntezie życia oraz posługi. Opiera się zawsze na osobistej modlitwie, miłości nauczycielskiej, uczestnictwie w sakramencie Eucharystii, praktykowaniu pobożności maryjnej oraz dynamizmie czerpanym z przykładu św. Pawła Apostoła jako prawzoru skutecznych katechetów.

Wśród różnych form podróży znajdują się podróże o charakterze religijnym, które nazywamy pielgrzymkami. Kościół katolicki, bazując na bogatej tradycji biblijnej, na przestrzeni wieków rozwinął tę formę pobożności. Piesza pielgrzymka podlaska na Jasną Górę to jedna z współczesnych form pielgrzymowania, w której co roku uczestniczy kilka tysięcy wiernych z terenu diecezji siedleckiej. Jednym z głównych jej celów jest pogłębianie formacji chrześcijańskiej jej uczestników. Jest ona realizowana we wszystkich wymiarach: ludzkim, duchowym, intelektualnym i apostolskim.

The pontificate of Leo the Great (440-461) was one of the longest in the histo­ry of the Church. Since his days as Pope were difficult and complicated, Leo’s part in the civil and political events of the Roman Empire was significant. That time was also characterized by continuous christological debates and controversies in which Leo’s voice as that of the head of the Catholic Church was decisive. He considered it his fundamental duty to strengthen Christian faith through formation and spiritual direction of the faithful. It also involved the formation of Christian character. His Sermons clearly testify to St. Leo’s fundamental role as a spiritual guide who strives for the salvation of the souls of those who are called to perceive their earthly lives in the proper manner. This paper offers a detailed analysis of Sermons delivered on various occa­sions, including Advent, Lent or Ember days which were for Pope Leo an occa­sion for a systematic exercise of his responsibilities. The first part of the paper deals with Leo’s conception of the basis and goals of spiritual formation in the 5th c. The second part sets forth the main elements of the formation programme. Consequently, the ancient concept of Christian formation has been presented here with its practical adaptations as implemented in daily striving for holiness.

In this paper the author presents the problem of formation of young people preparing for the sacrament of marriage. He points at the characteristic elements of such formation and the influence of spiritual formation not only on future spouses but also on their families. The aim of such formation is to shape the lifestyle of a particular person on the basis of a constant unchanging foundation which is Jesus Christ. He draws attention to the fact that marriage is based on God’s love for man. The marriage preparation not only contributes to the spiritual formation but also to the growth of faith. The article accounts for the methods of formation which are a result of two activities. The first one consists in the transmission of the truth about God by Church ministers. The latter is an effort of the person being formed. The author also explains the means of formation: the magisterium, the sacramental life, introduction to the prayer life and the liturgy of the Church, the spiritual exercise in the examination of conscience and the individual spiritual guidance.
