This article presents an exegesis of John 20:23: If you forgive people’s sins, their sins are forgiven; if you hold them they are held fast. Traditionally them refers to sins, and exegetical basis for this interpretation was reading John 20:23 (with the eliptical antithetical parallelism) as parallel of Matt 16:19 and 18:18. However the grammatical and lexical structure of John 20:23 suggests that v. 23a and 23b is a synthetic (progressive) parallel. In the Johannine com¬munities and in first three centuries of Christianity John 20:23 was not understood as the scriptural account of the institution of the sacrament of Penance that can only be administered by the ordained ministers. This text may be an allusion to baptism First of all, John 20:23 is a missionary command to the disciples. They have the power (v. 22: Receive the Holy Spirit) and right to preach the forgiveness of sins and entry into the community of believers (cf. Matt 28:19; Mark 16:16; Luke 24:47).

The present article focuses on the construction of characters in Luke 7:36-50. The author uses the tools of narrative analysis to illumine the way in which the narrator describes the three main protagonists of the story: Simon, the Pharisee, woman called a sinner, and Jesus. Simon clearly plays a secondary role in the narration serving as a negative background for the presentation of woman and introducing the main theme of the identity of Jesus. The woman, although being presented by the narrator as a sinner, is eventually put forward as a model of love and faith. However, she also plays a secondary role with respect to Jesus around whom all the story revolve. He is the one that attracts all the attention of the story. His voice resounds with authority suppressing even the voice of the narrator and giving interpretation to the behavior of other characters. The image and identity of Jesus, which is the main point of narrator’s interest, goes well beyond the traits of rabbi and master pointing at his divinity.

This article attempts to show the teaching of John Chrysostom (c. 350-407) on the mercy of God and His love for mankind, which mani­fests itself in the forgiveness of sins. God loves all people, but sometimes allows them to suffer in order to bring them closer to Himself and show them His love (Chrysostom uses here the image of the father and the doctor). The loving close­ness of God is an invitation for sinners to return to their loving Father. The Church is an area of activity of the merciful God. It is in the Church that the sinner can obtain forgiveness by practicing repentance. However, the return to the merciful Father cannot be limited to an act of will, but the decision of will must be followed by action – concrete attitude expressing a real desire to implement the decision.

“Intergenerational forgiveness” is actually a prayer for intergenerational forgiveness, and its purpose is “healing of the family tree” or to achieve “intergenerational healing”. It appeared in connection with diseases and sufferings of the people and the need for pastoral care of them. Doubtful, however, is already the biblical context of this phenomenon and interpretation of related biblical texts requir mature biblical hermeneutics. Difficult to avoid are also dogmatic problems, mainly related to the efficacy of the sacraments of baptism and penance. All these circumstances suggest the need to completely abandon this concept in theory and practice.

God acts “ordinary” through the sacraments of the Church and saves us from sin, however always remains open for us a question about the way of salvation. In the space of theological researches and their pastoral applications, however, controversial concepts have emerged, raising a number of questions and doubts that demand a critical assessment. These include concepts of “generational sin”, “intergenerational forgiveness” and “wicket’s confession”. Theological reflection and the involvement of the pastors of the Church in Poland brought with them concrete results in the form of competent theological opinions and disciplinary regulations, and this whole process has become an opportunity to deepen the awareness of God’s action in the sacraments of baptism and penance, as well as the theological-pastoral challenge.

Dzienniczek św. Faustyny jest interesującym źródłem dla tych, którzy próbują ukazać Ducha Świętego w perspektywie miłosierdzia. Czy jednak można w Dzienniczku znaleźć wystarczające uzasadnienie teologiczne, aby Ducha nazwać miłosiernym, podobnie jak Ojca i Syna?

The Diary of St. Faustina Kowalska, though well known for its description of Jesus as the merciful Savior, lacks a comparable description of the role of the Holy Spirit in relation to Divine Mercy. One must understand the theological context of St. Faustina, of the Holy Spirit and Divine Mercy to see more clearly their connection. Whereas the merciful Jesus is the author of sanctification, the giver of Divine Mercy, the Holy Spirit is the very gift of mercy, gushing forth from His Sacred Heart in the rays of Blood and Water, which both forgives sins and lifts us from our misery to participate in the divine life of the Trinity. The Holy Spirit is the very content of Divine Mercy, for as goodness is ascribed to Him in a pre-eminent way, so too is mercy, removing our defects by filling us with Hisgoodness and perfections

The Council of Trent said: „sacred unction of the sick was instituted by Chris tour Lord, as truly and properly a sacrament of the new law, promulgated to the faithful by James the Apostle” (DBS 1716) and that the presbyters of the church whom James urges to be called in are not just senior community members but priests ordained by the bishop (DBS 1719). An author of this article answers the question: How to understand these claims in the light of contemporary biblical knowledge about James 5, 13–16. We know today that Jas was written in the middle of the first century. There was no church hierarchy yet and there was no concept of the sacrament as we understand it today. The analysis is made in two stages. The first is semantic analysis of James 5, 13–16. The second is to answer the question: Whether the rite is shown in James 5, 13–16 is understood by the author of Jas as a special rite that continued Jesus’ action.

Sobór Trydencki określił sakrament namaszczenia chorych jako „prawdziwy i we właściwym znaczeniu tego słowa sakrament, ustanowiony przez Chrystusa naszego Pana i ogłoszony przez św. Jakuba Apostoła” (DS 1716). Określił również, że „starsi Kościoła”, których św. Jakub zaleca wezwać do namaszczenia chorego (Jk 5, 14), to „kapłani wyświęceni przez biskupa” (DS 1719). Autor niniejszego artykułu odpowiada na pytanie: jak pogodzić te twierdzenia ze współczesną wiedzą biblijną na temat Listu św. Jakuba 5, 13–16. Dziś wiemy bowiem, że List Jakuba powstał zaraz po połowie I wieku, gdy nie wykształciła się jeszcze kościelna hierarchia i nie funkcjonowało pojęcie sakramentu. Analiza dokonana jest w dwóch etapach. Pierwszym jest semantyczna analiza fragmentu 5, 13–16. Drugim etapem – bazującym na wnioskach analizy semantycznej – jest odpowiedź na pytanie: Czy obrzęd ukazany w tym fragmencie jest przez autora listu pojmowany jako szczególny ryt kontynuujący działanie Jezusa.

„Przebaczenie międzypokoleniowe” oznacza właściwie modlitwę o przebaczenie międzypokoleniowe, a jego celem jest „uzdrowienie drzewa rodowego” lub osiągnięcie „uzdrowienia międzypokoleniowego”. Pojawiło się w związku z chorobami i cierpieniami ludzi oraz potrzebą opieki duszpasterskiej nad nimi. Wątpliwy jest jednak już sam kontekst biblijny tego zjawiska, interpretacja tekstów wymaga dojrzałej hermeneutyki biblijnej, a związane z nim problemy dogmatyczne, przede wszystkim dotyczące skuteczności sakramentów chrztu i pokuty, sugerują konieczność całkowitego porzucenia tej koncepcji w teorii i praktyce.

The purpose of this paper was to show a justificatory aspect of the Eucharist. This sacrament has got positive and negative aspects. The Eucharist is a sacrament which leads to gradual justification through transformation of a whole human being into the resurrected Christ, which will be immortalized in the final kingdom in which the whole Christian life is included. This is a splendid synthesis of grace and cooperation of a human being, sacramental and ascetic life, liturgy and life, presence and future. The Eucharist continues the process of justification initiated by baptism. Therefore, it is a sacrament which in its repeatable character points out this healing effect of Christ on our nature, sick due to sin. The grace of justification is particularly received in the Eucharist. The sacrament of Baptism we take only once. We often receive the Eucharist because we often offend God. Looking for the grace of justification we are trying to expiate for our guilt, that is why we have to turn back and to overcome sin; those factors would not be effective in our fight against the sin, if we did not add the Eucharist, the only remedy for human evil.
