Each of the Masses for the homeland that blessed Fr. Jerzy Popiełuszko celebrated in St. Stanisław Kostka Church in Warsaw in the years 1982-1984, was devoted to a given topic. The purpose of this article is to present the message of the patriotic service of August 28, 1983. This liturgy was celebrated a few days before the anniversary of the so-called of the August agreements in 1980 and the creation of NSZZ “Solidarność”. That is why this was the theme of the Mass for the Homeland, already contained in the introduction to the Eucharist by blessed Fr. Jerzy. In his sermon, the martyr of communism referred to contemporary events and presented successively the basic values of man and society: truth, freedom, justice and solidarity. It was in their implementation, in accordance with the Christian religion, that he saw the foundation for the proper development of humanity, the Nation and aspirations for real independence. These values during the enslavement of communist Poland after 1945 were denied by the authorities, especially during martial law. That is why the teaching of Fr. Popiełuszko was a cry for respect for fundamental rights, which he emphatically showed, also referring to implementation in everyday life. Complementing the message of the Holy Mass for the homeland there was artistic decoration in the temple’s presbytery, as well as artistic setting.
