According to Paulinus of Nola proper Christian formation is only possible in a community. Of course, he accepted its various forms, from family life, through monasticism to the hermit, but in this case, always remaining in the contact with other hermits. No doubt the example of Paulinus and Theresia had a great impact on the decisions of many aristocratic families who wanted to go in their footsteps. Their determined attitude and brave opposition to the overall criticism from the „world”, added the courage to those who were thinking alike, but so-called „politi­cal correctness”, or rather „class correctness”, holding them back. In time, how­ever, the new way of life of spouses-monks was approved and many people began to visit the hermitage in Cimitile, and their way of life has become not only the sub­ject of numerous discussions, but also the spiritual impulse to change many hearts. Therefore, one can talk about their innovative launch of the new forms of Christian perfecting. It would have to serve also to the reform of the Church, which increa­singly in the fourth and fifth century began to lose its freshness of evangelical wit­ness and began to undergo a dangerous tendency of overgrowth of administrative structures over her spiritual ministry. Paulin has set a specific program of Christian perfecting, which he lived with his wife Theresia and to which he encouraged his friends. Paulin's correspondence and his view of Christian perfecting through mar­riage should be read in the appropriate key of his specific ecclesiology, very per­sonal, spiritual and mystical, as it was shown in the above article.

The article aims to reconstruct on the basis of the writings of St. Paulinus of Nola both the way the famous master of Nola saw Rome and the significance of his pilgrimages there. Ancient, pre-Christian Rome is called by him the daughter of Babylon because of the pagan character of Rome and the numerous sins committed by its citizens as well. However, thanks to the presence of true believers such as Melanie or the relics of holy Apostles and martyrs like Peter and Paul, Pagan Rome becomes more the daughter of Zion and new Jerusalem. Paulinus of Nola and Terasia, his wife, once a year traveled to their monastery in Campania, from the grave of the martyr St. Felix to Rome, on the festival of the Apostles Peter and Paul, where they usually spent 10 days. Later, as bishop of Nola, he set off to Rome earlier, just after Easter. His pilgrimage usually lasted four weeks. Besides the religious aspect of traveling to Rome, the meetings with numerous Christian celebrities Corning to the festival of the Apostles in Rome were the goal of his pilgrimage. Since the very beginning Paulinus treated his journeys as a way to establish contacts with important priests of Christian Rome. For Paulinus these meetings gave him the opportunity to propagate the monastic style of life, which he himself adopted while still in Spain.

Paulinus Nolanus, qui ineunte saeculo quinto Nolae urbis episcopi munus explebat, veterum poetarum exempla imitabatur, maxime vero illi Vergihi poemata placebant. Curabat igitur Paulinus, ut dactyli et spondei apte in versibus ponerentur, caesuram semiquinariam ut primam, caesuram autem semiseptenariam ut secundam libenter usurpabat.

Die Briefe des hl. Paulinus von Nola betreffen uberwiegend mit dem Geistesleben. Meistens gab es biblische Kommentare, die er, erfullend Wunsche seiner Empfanger, schrieb. Sie enthalten auch verschiedene geistliche Hinweise. Auf diese Weise ging Paulinus seinen Adressaten mit Rat an die Hand. Paulinus' Korrespondenz ist uberdies die vollkommene Quelle fur diese, die sich mit den Anfangen des monastischen Lebens und Reaktionen der Christen und der Heiden danach beschaftigen. Sie zeigt auch die Teilnahme der Laien uber sehr unterschiedlicher Niveau der Glaube im Leben der Kirche und des Staates. Die Haltungen der Menschen sind sehr mannigfaltig: von skeptischen Giovo in den gottgefalligen Senator, von dem armen Soldaten in den einflussreichen kaiserlichen Beamten.

Church Fathers tried to combat the legacy of paganism and made tireless ef­forts towards Christianising family events, recalling the teaching of the Bible. Tertullian, for example, complained that the Christians of Carthage didn’t marry in the church. The article discusses Carmen XXV of Paulinus of Nola († 431), written for the occasion of marriage of Julian and Tysia. The poem contains one of the oldest descriptions of the ceremony of Christian marriage. Bishop of Nola pays attention to the spiritual dimension of the sacrament – specifically to its rich, full of symbols rite as well as to fact that the Christian meaning of the marriage ceremony should become the main focus for wedding preparations.

Letters and songs of Paulinus of Nola († 431) require a reader to be keen, care­ful and critical to the content its carries, specifically from the dogmatic point of view. Paulinus differentiates God’s the Father Grace, Christ’ Grace, Grace given by the Holy Spirit and finally grace received by people through the intercessions of saints. He never questions the dogma of the Trinity, but he is nonetheless criti­cised by Hieronymus as being too general in his writings, especially in poems. It is important to note that grace (gratia) as perceived by Paulinus of Nola does not only mean sacramental grace, but also the gift that allows one to uphold the virtue of hope and to grow spiritually and intellectually. In addition, the friendship and help given to a friend is a gift from God and manifestation of His grace.

In this article we engaged in the issue of importance of pilgrimages for christian from late-antiquity period in the eyes of christian erduite, Paulinus of Nola. Paulinus of Nola was a poet and senator. He held the office of suffect consul in 377 AD and governor of Campanina in 381 AD. Then, after emperor Gratian’s death and many private causes, like the death of his brother and death of his child, Paulinus converted to a Christian faith and started an ascetic life in Nola. The rich source collection of his writings has not survived, but we tried to present a picture slice of life of a christian society in the IVth and Vth century. We discussed the importance of pilgrimages in a christian life, incentives for them, ways of treating pilgrims in holy places and the most popular directions of pilgrimages. Unfortunately, many issues are not mentioned by Paulinus, such as the dangers of travel or he was writing about some issues briefly, such as the relics and cult of it, which was related to the pilgrimages (relics were often some kind of souvenir from pilgrimage). The subject itself requires further researches, especially in analysis of other christian authors from the late-antiquity period.

W artykule zajęliśmy się kwestią znaczenia pielgrzymek dla chrześcijanina z epoki późnego antyku widzianych oczyma chrześcijańskiego erudyty Paulina z Noli (zm. 431r.). Poruszone zostały zagadnienia ważności pielgrzymki w życiu chrześcijańskim, zachęty do nich, sposoby podejmowania pielgrzymów w miejscach świętych oraz najpopularniejsze kierunki peregrinatio i przywożone z nich relikwie lub pamiątki. Kolekcja źródeł Paulina z Noli nie jest bogata, jednak spróbowaliśmy zaprezentować wycinek obrazu z życia chrześcijańskiego społeczeństwa w IV i Vw. Wielu kwestii Paulin niestety nie porusza, jak np. niebezpieczeństwa podróży lub czyni to pobieżnie jak w kwestii relikwii. Sam temat wymaga dalszych badań, zwłaszcza w analizie innych późnoantycznych chrześcijańskich autorów.

Paulin z Noli nie jest niestety współcześnie bardzo docenianym Ojcem Kościoła, gdyż nie wniósł nic wielkiego w rozwój dogmatów wczesnego Kościoła, a jednak współcześni mu ludzie poważali go, wskazywali jako wzór i odwoływali się do jego nawrócenia i duchowej drogi. Był on traktowany jako mistrz duchowy. Dlatego też omawiając zagadnienie namiętności, a przede wszystkim bólu po stracie najbliższych, warto i powinniśmy sięgnąć do zachowanej twórczości Paulina: listów oraz pieśni. On sam przeżył przecież tragiczną śmierć brata, przedwczesne odejście jedynego syna, czy wreszcie śmierć swej żony Terazji. To wszystko pozwala doszukiwać się w jego dziełach odpowiedzi na pytanie o sposób radzenia sobie z emocjami po odejściu ukochanej osoby oraz o chrześcijańską interpretację przeżywania śmierci i żałoby. Dzięki przeprowadzonym analizom zachowanych tekstów Paulina i ich wynikom, ukazanym w niniejszym artykule, możemy dostrzec, że Paulin, choć wykształcony na klasycznych wzorcach, ukazuje chrześcijański wymiar żałoby zawarty w tytułowym pytaniu: z jednej strony podkreśla ludzki jej wymiar i smutek z powodu odejścia bliskiej osoby, a z drugiej podkreśla nadprzyrodzoną radość ze zbawienia i przebywania u Boga. Paulin w swych dziełach ukazuje także inne wymiary przeżywania śmierci, które tworzą razem bogaty fenomen oddawany przez cztery stoickie passiones: spes - metus - gaudium – dolor.

Unfortunately, Paulinus of Nola is not a very appreciated Father of the Church today, because he did not contribute much to the development of the dogmas of the early Church, and yet his contemporaries respected him and indicated him as an example and referred to his conversion and spiritual path. He was regarded as a spiritual master. Therefore, when discussing the issue of passiones, and above all the pain after the loss of loved ones, it is worth and should refer to the preserved works of Paulinus: his letters and poems. He himself experienced the tragic death of his brother, the premature death of his only son, and finally the death of his wife Therasia. All this allows us to find in his works an answer to the question of how to deal with emotions after the departure of a loved one and about a Christian interpretation of experiencing death and mourning. Thanks to the analyzes of the surviving Paulinus’ texts and their results, presented in this article, we can see that Paulinus, although educated on the classical models, shows the Christian understanding of mourning contained in the title question: on the one hand, he emphasizes its human side and the sadness over the passing of a loved one, on the other hand, he emphasizes the supernatural joy of salvation and being with God. In his works, Paulinus also shows other aspects of experiencing death, which together create a rich phenomenon expressed by four Stoic passiones: spes - metus - gaudium - dolor.

Christianity is the religion of the word and image. Both the word and image play an important role in the process of passing on the faith. The attitude of early Christianity to art was determined by two important factors. Firstly, in Christian communities which were formed by converted Jews, the Old Testament prohibition against images and worshipping them was strongly em- phasized; secondly they feared idolatry. The first apologists of the 2nd century (Aristides, Tatian the Assyrian, Justin Martyr, Tertullian and Origen) explicitly scorned production of any images. In the 4th century, when Christianity was growing in signi cance and building Christian churches was permitted, then Christian writers such as: Saint Basil the Great, Gregory of Nyssa, Hypatius of Ephesus and Paulinus of Nola started to express their opinions on these issues in a less adamant way than it happened in the rst three centuries. In the 6th and 7th century, thanks to Saint Gregory the Great (Pope Gregory I) and John of Damascus, the Church’s attitude to art crystallized and eventually art was given due respect. is several century long discussion on the role of “representational art” in Christianity culminated during the second Council of Nicaea.

The article is devoted to the four letters written by Ausonius to Paulinus of Nola before the latter left Aquitania in 389 changing his style of life and provo­king the deep crisis of their intimate friendship (Epist. 17-20, ed. R.P.H. Green). Ausonius writes to his pupil, admirer and friend about literary theory and practice, thanks for the gifts and favours, asks for help in an hour of need, sends him new year’s wishes. The exchange of letters provided to the famous befriended poets an opportunity to participate in the jolly literary games and to share mutual respect, admiration and love.

Papież Franciszek, ogłaszając swoją decyzję o podniesieniu do rangi święta obchodów liturgicznych dedykowanych Marii Magdalenie, chciał przypomnieć o tej wyjątkowej postaci w historii Kościoła, której przykład życia emanuje także na obecną wspólnotę. Jest to również okazja do wyjaśnienia nieporozumień związanych z jej życiem. Jest to możliwe po zapoznaniu się z nauczaniem ojców Kościoła Zachodniego odnoszącym się do św. Marii Magdaleny i jej wyjątkowej misji jako „apostołki Apostołów”.

Pope Francis, announcing his decision to raise the rank of liturgical celebrations dedicated to Mary Magdalene, wanted to recall this exceptional figure in the history of the Church, whose example of life emanates also on the present community. It is also an opportunity to clear up the misunderstandings surrounding her life. It is possible after getting acquainted with the teaching of the Fathers of the Western Church on St. Mary Magdalene and her unique mission as “apostle of the Apostles”.
