This article aims at describing the reality where young Poles live and grow up, as well as their ways of coping with the challenges coming from both modern times and the changes in their own home country, Europe and the whole world. Generally speaking, we reflect upon the ways of leading the youth through adulthood. One opportunity is represented by the meetings organised by youth pastoral centres, managed by female and male congregations, as well as by Institutes of consecrated life. In this article, the results of the research carried out in 13 youth pastoral centres in the year 2007/2008 are presented. Just the variable related to the search for the meaning of life is dealt with in more detail, as soon as the very first existential questions arise, such as “Who am I?”, “Why am I living?”, “What is the sense of the things I do?”, “Where is my place in the world?” It is necessary to lead young people through this complex process of growing up, providing support, backing and presence. On the other hand, the following question arises: “to what extent can we intervene in the person’s development and in the shaping of their personality through contents and values, influencing their way of perceiving the world and themselves?” The analysis of this research can serve as a starting point in order to reflect on what is to be elaborated in detail, what is to be changed, what is to be highlighted, so that the meetings with the youth be more productive and the suggestions become a reference in the search for better solutions.

The article presents the basic principles of the spirituality of consecrated life as they are laid out in chapter VI of the Constitution on the Church. These principles can be summed up as the following:1. Consecrated life means the imitation of Christ.2. This imitation is of a charismatic nature, thus can only be lived by vocation, with the power of and originating from the Holy Spirit.3. The fruits of the works of the Holy Spirit, and consequently, the enforcement of the imitation of Christ is love; a love that is always love towards God and your neighbour. How diverse talents and vocations can be.4. Thanks to this love, enforced by the Holy Spirit, consecrated life presents itself as a present from Christ to the Church. It is therefore, placed in the centre of Church life and serves the Church not just by obedience and ministry, but even deeper by a living witness that reflects the pilgrimage of a Christian, and the hope for a life to come.

The present paper aims to explore the topic of the vocation of a courtesan in the 19th-century France, by analyzing memoirs of tree demi-mondaines of the time: Céleste Mogador, Cora Pearl and Rigolboche. Does such a vocation exist ? If yes, how can we define this notion? The first part tries to show that prostitution isn’t chosen by women because of the their inclination to debauchery, but is the result of the failed education and parental abandonment. The second part focuses on the importance of independence in the courtesan’s life, as a part of their vocation, and the manner to gain it.

The author of the paper propounds a holistic outlook on how French writers of the 19th century perceived the fate of Poland in the most dramatic moment of its history, when it was fighting a fierce, and almost hopeless battle for its independence, having disappeared from the map of Europe. In texts of many poets, publicists and men of letters in France one can find a unique set of motifs that not only reveal a highly consistent way of thinking with respect to the situation Poland was in at the time, but also build a parallel vision of its future, and even hold a belief that Poland was to play a special role among European countries. In this paper the author identifies and discusses six such motifs.

It is doubtless that theology first of all puts questions about God and man. However, for ages theologians have been also asking questions about the meaning of their own work. One may speak about a peculiar meta-theology that tries to show the role and significance of theology in the life of the Church. The most frequently given answers to the questions about the meaning and character of theology oscillate around the concept of rationality. In such a view theology is a normal human process of making revealed truths understandable for people of a given epoch. However, it seems that such a vision of theology is tantamount to extremely simplifying it and to making it superficial. The question about the significance of theology may only be answered in the light of faith. This light allows seeing theology as a God’s gift, a charisma that helps the Church read the signs of the times and prophetically interpret the Biblical Revelation for a given epoch and culture. A theologian participates in a special charisma, so he should be perceived first of all as one who performs a special service of the word in the Church, and only then as a scholar. Such a charismatic position of theology allows reminding with full strength that the first and fundamental theologian is the Holy Spirit.

Consecrated persons are to point the way to God and to bear witness by their own life to the existence of eternal life. For that reason such persons can-not allow their interior life to lose its supernatural dimension. Yet this is the kind of loss which takes place when spiritual progress is turned into a psycho-logical quest. Such is the consequence of moving the formational process in religious life from virtues to feelings. It causes the candidate to religious life to develop a relativistic worldview, with the end result being the further protestantization of Catholicism as a move toward a horizontal faith based on feeling and subjective experience of the faith. Only a return to virtues in an evangelical life immersed in the Beatitudes can lead to the revitalization of religious life and the increase of its attractiveness. A return to virtues will equip the consecrated person with the tools needed to face all trials and tribulations.

The purpose of this article is to attempt to philosophically explain the issue of vocation based on the two post-synodal exhortations Pastores dabo vobis and Christus vivit. The issues of vocation are discussed on the basis of: concept, types, structure and discernment of vocation. From a philosophical point of view, vocation has the status of an interpersonal relationship. Its existence is made possible by two correlates, which are God and man. Vocation as a real relational being has ultimate reasons. The source, or causative cause of the Christian vocation, is God who initiates the vocation. God is also the ultimate intentional cause of the vocation. In order for a vocation to come into existence in the form of real being, an act of decision is needed. Thanks to it the vocation is constituted.

The influence on sociologists of texts by others is widely accepted and a standard line of investigation. However if books can be an influence it is not unreasonable to assume that other cultural products might be significant too in the formation of a sociologist. This Note addresses the possibility by exploring some of the possible meanings of a passing comment once made by Zygmunt Bauman. In conversation with the present author Bauman once said that Ingmar Bergman’s film Winter Light is important to him. This short Note attempts to work out why, and it focuses on the theme of vocation. It is crucial to stress that this Note was inspired by Bauman’s comment but works entirely at the level of publicly available texts. It is not to be assumed that Bauman would personally agree with this explanation.

The aim of this article is to discuss the place of the literature of past centuries in the romance philology teaching programmes. I accentuate the social importance of literary subjects at the university in the making of future citizens responsible for the common good, as well as the social importance of literature itself. Furthermore, I emphasize the role of scholars who are assumed not only to bring knowledge to their students, but also to teach them essential social skills. The analysis is based on my ten-year academic experience of specialist in the history of literature and history of the French Enlightenment.

At the turn of the 21st century, the ethical boundaries have been demolished in a dramatic way, especially in reference to the broadly understood human sexuality. An intensively promoted materialist anthropology connected to the reductive vision of human sexuality and sexual life, has created the foundation for anew ideology. Gender theory finds itself well in the postmodernist context, where multi-dimensional determinist conditioning, relativism and temporality of all human intellectual property are highlighted. The Traditional categories as femininity, masculinity, and heterosexuality were rejected and treated as mere archaic stereotypes. According to gender ideologists, in order to prevent discrimination one has to finally start the deconstruction of a patriarchal regime and replace it with anew, egocentric and hedonistic culture. The author of this article presents new challenges for the Catholic vision of the vocation of women and men highlighting the deconstruction of the biological sex, a new anthropology and the far-going transformations in the consciousness, social, cultural and political activity on an ­international scale.

The article discusses the history of reforms of American religious sisters initiated by Pius XII and concluded by a joint agreement between the LCWR and the Commissions of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. The article shows the character of the reforms undertaken before and after the Council and how two organizations representing American sisters were established. The continuous departure of the LCWR from the teaching of the Church is presented in opposition to the fidelity of the second organization with canonical status – CMSWR. The lack of vocations among the sisters gathered in the LCWR is a sign of mistakes in the reforms that were undertaken and politicization of the organization.

Die Visionsschilderung von Jes 6 ist in der Forschung der letzten Jahrzehnten Gegenstand verschiedener Auslegungen geworden. Die meisten Forscher sehen darin eine Berufungsvision oder gar Berufungsbericht des Propheten, andere dagegen bestreiten einen engeren Zusammenhang der Vision mit der Berufung oder betrachten die kebôb-jhwh-Vision als Rahmen für einen Botenauftrag des Jesaja. Die vorliegende Abhandlung sucht einen motivgeschichtlichen Nachweis zu erbringen, dass es um eine Inauguralvision geht, die aber die Züge einer prophetischen Berufungserzählung aufweist und als Legitimationsausweis gelten möchte. Es werden nacheinander solche Motive wie das der göttlichen Ratsversammlung, des göttliches Thrones, der Königswürde Jahwes und dessen Heiligkeit (das Trisagion) untersucht und als traditionelles – zumeist prophetisches – Gut erwiesen. Die Herrlichkeit Jahwes wird noch mit den traditionellen Zügen einer Theophanie dargestellt, überdies aber mit der Theologie der Heiligkeit (Entsündigungsvorgang) ergänzt. Die Verkünpfung der Vision mit dem sog. Verstockungsauftrag bietet ein schwieriges literargeschichtliches Problem, ferner bringt wieder mannigfache Deutungsversuche. Der Zusammenhang der Visionsbeschreibung mit dem Auftrag lässt sich kaum als sekundär nachweisen: es geht um ein Machtwort das die Antwort des Volkes herausfordert oder gar diese als negativ voraussetzt. Der negative Ausgang der prophetischen Mission Jesajas mag dabei angedeutet worden sein. Jes 6,12-13 bildet eine Nachinterpretation der Vision und des Verstockunsauftrags und zwar in zweilerlei Richtung: im Sinne einer totalen Vernichtung und mehr positiv als Grundlage der Hoffnung des entronnenen Restes.

Every person is called by God, although there are different types of voca-tions (cf. 1 Cor 12:5). But not every person can properly discern one’s own vocation and respond positively to the voice of God who calls to the priesthood or the consecrated life. Scriptural texts speaking about the calling of individual persons are helpful, but first and foremost important is the atmosphere of the family home. Biblical texts speak of the families from which those called came from. The Church repeatedly teaches about the role and tasks of families in discerning and nurturing of vocations. There are also numerous statements made by people dedicated to the service of God, which testify to the irreplacea-ble role of their families in the discernment and maturation of their own voca-tion.
