The Pope Francis in his one's first postsynodal exhortation is paying attention to the need for evangelization in the contemporary world. He entrusts the entire Christian people with this task. Evangelization is the mission of the Church and exceeds its hierarchical structure. The addressees of evangelization today, according to the Pope, are all people, who are excessively individualistic, who experience an identity crisis and decline in zeal in the search for truth. The basis of authentic evangelization should be the fact, that Jesus is Lord and His must be to proclaimed to the contemporary man.

Papież Franciszek w swej pierwszej posynodalnej adhortacji zwraca uwagę na potrzebę ewangelizacji we współczesnym świecie. Zadanie to powierza całemu ludowi chrześcijańskiemu. Ewangelizacja jest zadaniem Kościoła i przekracza jego hierarchiczną strukturę. Adresatami ewangelizacji dzisiaj, zdaniem papieża, są wszyscy ludzie, których cechuje nadmierny indywidualizm, kryzys tożsamości oraz spadek gorliwości w poszukiwaniu prawdy. Podstawą autentycznej ewangelizacji powinno być z kolei to, że to Jezus jest Panem i Jego należy głosić współczesnemu człowiekowi.

In the period from 7 to 28 October 2012 in the Vatican City was held XIII Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops on the new evangelization. The fruit of the Synod is the Apostolic Exhortation Evangelii gaudium. According to many observers, it is a programmatic document of Pope Francis, revealing the priorities of his pontificate. Presented reflection is an attempt to make a synthesis of the most important indications of the Pope on evangelizing activity of the Church. These include in particular the following issues: union with Jesus as the primary motive of evangelization, necessity of missionary conversion, evangelization as a joyful radiation, witness of Christian life as the first step of evangelization, the proclamation of the Kerygma as the heart of evangelization, the need for renewal of forms of evangelization.

On 20th July 2020 Congregation for the Clergy issued an instruction The pastoral conversion of the Parish community in the service of the evangelising mission of the Church. This document brings together the previous teachings of the Magisterium regarding the Parish community, approaching them from the perspective of the Pope Francis’s teaching calling for pastoral conversion of the whole Church, which should result in the missionary attitude of bringing the message of Gospel to all the people. Issuing of the instruction evoked different responses. Some of them were positive, praising the presenting of the integrated knowledge regarding the legal basis of the Parrish community functioning, as well as speaking highly of this document in the context of mapping out a wide range of the contemporary circumstances in which the parishes function. Also, providing the inspiration for the renewal of the Parish Ministry was ap-preciated. However, some criticisms were also raised, regarding the lack of new solutions aiming at involving the lay faithful in the life of the Parish community, putting too little emphasis on the necessity of the personal parishes development and the offer of the detailed pastoral methods. The author describes the main ideas included in this document, which has not reached a wider readership in Poland. At the same time, he (1), presents the discussion that the issuing of the instruction has evoked (2), referring to the document itself and suggesting some inspiration for creative searching for the ways of reaching the renewal of the Parish community in the context of the Pastoral conversion (3).

Article treat about the criticism of sources. In this case it comes to appeal to the Spanish chroniclers Motolinii and Mendieta to Psalm 59. In Mendieta comes to special translate a fragment of the same psalm, which is one of the foundations of apocalyptic-millenaries interpretation of the Franciscan missions in Mexico in the first half of the sixteenth century. Using specific translating tools we show that the said base includes acceptance of confusion mentioned Psalm, which allows us to identify the specific validity of source criticism. It should be mentioned that the analysis of a fragment of Psalm 59, which in this context is the first to carry out the extensive literature on the subject, both when it comes to apocalyptic-millenaries perception of Franciscan spirituality among the missionaries operating in New Spain (including Phelan, Baudot) as well as the critics of such perception (Lino Canedo, Andrés Martín, Zaballa Beascoechea).

In this article, the author tried to present the topic of the pastoral ministry concept’s development for people living without Holy Matrimony by the example of the previous Code of Canon Law of 1917 and New Code of Canon Law of 1983. Influence on changing the situation of those living in a civil marriage or divorced and remarried poste-synodal Apostolic Exhortations „Familiaris Consortio” of 1981 and „Amoris Laetitia” of 2016. According to the author, the opportunity to join the Sacraments of the Church, prescribed in the last post-synodal Apostolic Exhortation are primarily a consequence of the evolutionary process rather than revolutionary innovations, although there are many different points of view on this topic. That is why the exhortation „Amoris Laetitia” talks about accompanying, discerning and integrating weakness, but in confidentiality. The important things, according to the author, are letters from individual bishops or Episcopal Conferences that have supported the Holy Father and have already taken advantage of the prescribed opportunities helping their parishioners to return to the church community and become actively involved in its life.

The article discusses the missionary option as indicated by Pope Francis in his first apostolic exhortation. This challenging option can be lived fully only through a total commitment of all church structures. That is why it is interesting to reflect how one of the parish structures, namely the pastoral council, can contribute – according to its competences – to put into practice what has been enunciated in Evangelii gaudium.A particular contribution of the parish pastoral council consists primarily in the development of an adequate parish pastoral plan, which would have as its main goal to educate the parish as a missionary community, responsible for the transmission of the Christian faith in today’s world. The article also features some directions from the Papal document which must be taken into account and some practical suggestions which aid in reaching the delineated goals. A commitment of the parish pastoral council to fulfil this missionary choice enables this structure to see its role as oriented “to promote conformity of the life and actions of the People of God with the Gospel”.

EN
The Shrine of Our Lady of Aparecida is located on the road between the two most important cities in south-eastern Brazil – São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro and is one of the largest of the Marian sanctuaries in the world. Every year, 12 million people come to this place to honour the Patron of Brazil. It presents a figure of the Black Madonna, which in October 1717, fishermen found in the Paraíba river. The dark colour of the Madonna's skin from Aparecida reminds their descendants of slaves imported to Brazil from Africa. The Brazilians make pilgrimages to their Mother to ask her for help and discover the power of God's love, which is reflected by the motherly love of Our Lady of Aparecida. Arriving at the sanctuary, the faithful find a sense of security, but also experience belonging to a living community of faith. From Mary – the first and perfect disciple of Jesus, they learn the authentic Christian life. In her presence, they strengthen their dignity as children of God and take an attitude of readiness to participate in the mission of transforming this world into the kingdom of God.

This paper touches upon the crucial issue of how the broadly understood visual culture enters the field of contemporary preaching of the Gospel. The role of image in contemporary culture cannot be overestimated. The communicative function of image (paintings, films or TV series) leads to the rise of visual thinking. Some interpret it in terms of lost skills of conceptual and abstract thinking, while others see it as a language that is communicatively effective, clear, suggestive and persuasive. Whatever stance one takes, evangelization through image becomes a matter of fact. It becomes an integral part of the Church developmental dynamics.

The article contains an analysis of a monothematic and isofunctional set of author’s utterances implementing genre conventions of the column. However, they are not analyzed in the genre per- spective. The author aims to illustrate the issue of identity parameters of texts, perceiving them as a mosaic of relations determined by concepts in the eld of culturally entangled communication such as: journalism, evangelization, (evangelistic, press) discourse, genre, and text. The arrange- ment of concepts from types of human activity, communication spaces and discourses through genre lters to texts allowed to extract and characterize the phenomenon of the column pro led evangelization journalism in analyses embedded in discourse analysis, yet without displaying its speci c current.

Pope Francis, concerned about the future of the young people has summoned the Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops devoted to the young people that will be held in October 2018. In the Preparatory Document he has invited, among others, the consecrated people to work with him and try to answer the important questions: How to help young people to meet Jesus? How to help them to develop their faith and discern their vocation? It seems that nuns, friars and monks may support the pastoral activity of the Holy Father by sharing the wealth of their community life. In this thesis, apart from the wealth of charisms and the heritage of the saint founders of religious congregations and orders the liturgical life of monasteries and convents has been especially underlined. New appreciation of the monastic liturgy by the ongoing formation as well as opening the liturgy, usually locked in monastic enclosure, to the young people, is a precious contribution to the evangelization. Therefore the author of the thesis focuses on silence, praying the Liturgy of Hours, the Holy Mass of the communities, the liturgical books and calendars and the ceremonies that accompany entering particular stages of monastic formation. It all constitutes the wealth, which the consecrated people living in cloisters, following the example of Mary of Bethany, want to present anew to the young people in the evangelic way. They want to do all of that in order for the young people to be able to recognize the God in the beauty of monastic liturgy, to believe in Him more deeply, and o discern where He wants to send them.

Fr. Franciszek Blachnicki put the teaching of the Second Vatican Council into practice. Rooted in his personal conversion (experience of the living Jesus), the formation of the baptized he proposed was based on the example of the catechumenate and took the form of the Light-Life Movement, which offers a way of spiritual growth still followed by many groups of believers. The work of Fr. Blachnicki may be an inspiration for the universal Church, especially with respect to the significance of a personal spiritual encounter with the risen Jesus, inner life being set in active participation in the liturgy, personal prayer based on the Bible, commitment to a small community of growth, and service in various areas of the Church’s life, particularly evangelization. It is therefore worthwhile to discover the depth of the spiritual and pastoral heritage of Fr. Blachnicki. His guidelines may be very helpful in responding to the challenges the Church is facing now.

As part of the symposium entitled “School Religious Retreats and Contemporary Forms of Transmission of Faith,” held at KUL JP II on 21-22 January 2013, a panel debate was held, devoted to evangelization in the global world of the media. The panellists – Fr. Zbigniew Paweł Maciejewski, Fr. Artur Godnarski, Fr. Tadeusz Zasępa, Fr. Jarosław Woźniak, Fr. Witold Kawecki and Jacek Kurzępa – undertook two main threads that dominated over the rest of the issues mentioned and signalled by the panellists and the other participants of the panel: 1. The role of school retreats in the process of catechization and evangelization; the need of shaping the evangelizing and kerygmatic mentality of the preachers of the Word of God. 2. The medial culture and the world of the media as an explicit challenge for evangelization – represented in part by school retreats. This text is an abbreviated script of the debate in question.

The article outlines the main directions of the evangelization of the Church Fathers in the 5th and 6th centuries and the numerous obstacles which they encountered in their pastoral ministry. The spreading of pagan practices, magic and all kinds of superstitions were still visible even among the baptized people. Another problem they had to face, no less difficult to overcome, was a moral dissolution, as well as rampant alcoholism. Hence their sermons so often featured merciful God, ready to forgive every person. They also pointed some ways to deepen one’s faith. Thus they tried to form a Christian society, guided by the spirit of the Gospel in every sphere of life.

The article addresses the importance of the Church’s missionary activity with respect to contemporary cultures and nations because she proclaims the Gospel and promotes the basic development in many corners of the world. By sending missionaries, the Church teaches the faith, Catechism, religious observances, life in accordance with the Commandments. She takes care of Christian formation of the faithful in a given particular Church. The Church organises pastoral and biblical apostolates in order to proclaim the light and hope of the Gospel in a way that is comprehensible to the modern man. It is argued in the article that the proper understanding of the missionary activity of the Church is essentially a realisation of universal human rights. The Church sees the need for respect of human rights on the part of world decision-makers; she appreciates the work of missionaries towards the good of nations and cultures, she sees a common denominator for evangelization and development of nations in terms of human rights. Provisions contained in covenants and treaties which guarantee the right to life and civilisational progress of all people are often disobeyed, therefore the Christ’s Church uses her authority to get involved in the process of evangelization activities and all types of activity intended to improve the communal life of people of good will.

The article is an attempt to present the linguistic image of the notion of “evangelization”, namely its cognitive structure in the Bible, in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and in selected source texts, thematically related to the so-called new evangelization. It applies the method of description of the major aspects of a notion, which is used in ethnolinguistics. For evangelization, such aspects are: object and subject of evangelization; the place and time of evangelization; the ways and methods of evangelization; the circumstances related to the event of evangelization (conditions); the effective works of evangelization; the definitions of evangelization; the works focused on evangelization; the acts of evangelization; the features of evangelization; the phenomena related to evangelization; and what serves the purpose of evangelization. On the basis of the presented analysis, it is pointed out that during the last 20 years in the teachings of the Catholic Church’s evangelists the semantic range of the notion “evangelization” has changed.

The word “culture” refers to everything, “whereby man develops and perfects his many bodily and spiritual qualities; he strives by his knowledge and his labour, to bring the world itself under his control. He renders social life more human both in the family and the civic community, through improvement of customs and institutions. Throughout the course of time he expresses, communicates and conserves in his works, great spiritual experiences and desires, that they might be of advantage to the progress of many, even of the whole human family” (Gaudium et spes No. 53). The Gospel, which assumes the shape of a culture from the beginning, wants to penetrate the culture of today as well. By its nature, it creates such a culture that helps people to reach their full personal development and thus enables them to live peacefully in the community. In the evangelization of cultures, the laity plays a special role. The Church calls upon Catholics “to be present, as signs of courage and intellectual creativity, in the privileged places of culture, that is, the world of education-school and university-in places of scientific and technological research, the areas of artistic creativity and work in the humanities” (Christifideles laici No. 44). It depends on their involvement in the proclamation of Christ and his message of salvation whether people are aware of their dignity and as free beings create spaces where any human person can find the true meaning of life. The Christian laity should be present on “the contemporary Aeropagus” in order to show the people the Divine truth, goodness and beauty which were revealed in the Savior Christ Jesus in full glory. The lay faithful have the task to put into practice their personal charisma and to work in union with the Pastors of the Church.

There is a strong and original relationship between Christian faith and Humanism, but it is necessary not to reduce the Christian education to Humanism. In fact, it was the Christian faith which gave birth to Humanism, not vice versa. It is necessary to put the distinction in order to avoid the reduction of the Christian education to the generic philanthropy. The Christian faith is, first of all, an encounter with Jesus, not only from the existential point of view, but also as a peculiar knowledge through Christ as God’s Word.
