In the biblical perspective, stories about the creation of the world in Gen 1–2 remain to be the basis to a discussion about human creativity. The premise of the text – creation of man “in the image of God” – makes us assume that, according to the Bible, creativity of man is to be the image of God’s creativity. Verification of this thesis goes from presenting history of interpretation of the biblical idea, namely creation of man “in the image of God,” then points to the need of analyzing the narrative of this phrase. Since the image of God presented in Gen 1 is not descriptive, the second part of the paper examines the way God reveals himself in this text through his creative action. The key to God’s creativity is his word of creation which he uses to differentiate created beings and establish relationships among them in order to build harmony in the newly founded world. The final part of the paper focuses on the analysis of verbs which in Gen 1–2 refer to human creativity; those verbs also point to their possible association with words as instruments for creating, organizing and arranging reality shaped by man. Following that comes the conclusion that God’s creativity is extended into creativity of man who was made “in the image of God.”

Legal acts of the regional councils represent the legal and official style. These documents contain numerous references to the sacred, which is the result of the communication convention in force in the Middle-Polish period and Sarmatian culture, represented by the participants of this communication. The Sejmiks were most often held in the church. The dating of documents also contained religious elements. Officials applied temporal terms determined by the liturgical calendar. The sacral motifs appear in many acts of speech, both polite (in titles, wishes, thanks) and performative (in oaths). The image of God in documents is similar to God’s image in literary works. God is seen above all as a creator, donor, ruler, guardian and judge. His traits are, for example, justice, kindness and mercy.

Der Text Gen 1, 26-27 über den Menschen als „Bild Gottes” tritt ausser im Buch Genesis auch in anderen Texten des Alten Testaments auf (Sir 17, 1-4; Weish 2, 23; 7, 26). In der Fassung des Buches Genesis ist der Mensch das Bild Gottes durch seine Macht über die Welt der Schöpfung, welche ihm von Gott verliehen wurde. Die anderen Texte fügen hier den Gedanken hinzu, dass der Mensch das Bild Gottes durch seine geistige Ausstattung ist. Der Mensch ist gerade als geistiges, freies und verantwortliches Wesen das Bild Gottes. Aus der so begriffenen Idee des „Bildes Gottes” ergibt sich die ganze Würde der menschlichen Person, des einzigen Wesens, das Gott seiner selbst wegen gewollt hat.

The standard interpretation of the biblical idea of the image of the God in Genesis (Gen 1:26 ff.), so called ontic interpretation, which sees in Him a reli­gious basis for the metaphysical dogma of the creation of a man as a spiritual-corporeal being, is detached from its biblical meaning. For the biblical authors, the primary issue is not the question what kind of the human being was called by the God from nothingness into being, but that when the human being receives the status of the image and character of the God in the existential dimension. John the Baptist reached the status of the image of God at the time when he became the Anthropos (John 1:6). In turn, Paul, by the moving of the idea of the image of Jesus as a man at the turning point of the process of salvation (Romans 8:29), created the foundation for the study of triple-imaging of the God as in Jesus, as well as in initiated.

Oscar and the Lady in Pink is the most frequently adapted narrative by Éric-Emmanuel Schmitt. In Poland, the first performance was made based on the translation by Barbara Grzegorzewska published in 2004. First, the paper focuses on the image of God in the original text. Then, we compare his image in the French and Polish text of the narrative. Finally, we pass to the analysis of the image of God in the Polish theatrical adaptation by Anna Augustynowicz. We look at the Polish translation by Grzegorzewska and at the text and others theater signs proposed by the performance director.

This article is the result of theological research on the subject of life. The phenomenon of life is multifaceted, but often it cannot be defined because it is a mystery. The author of the article, based on the truth that man is a biological-psycho-spiritual unity, interprets these spheres in the key of St. Bonaventure’s idea, describes them as vestigium, umbra, and imago Dei. The issue of spiritual life in the category of Imago Dei is analyzed in detail. The author tries to answer the questions that arise by using not only theological fields: or is there an openness to transcendence only in a man? What does it mean to be an image of God? How to achieve a full life? The sphere of bios, psyche, and zoe in the human person are permeating each other, but this spiritual life transcends the previous two planes. This distinguishes man from other creatures and gives him a unique character. God, in His goodness and freedom, grants man life, creates him as a free being and in His image. But the perfect image of the Father is Jesus Christ. In His Incarnation, He showed us the fullness of humanity and through imitation and union with Christ, man can become conformed to the image of God. In this way, it is finally possible to obtain full participation in the communion with God in the Holy Trinity.

The aim of this publication was to reconstruct the image of God that has been perpetuated in the German language through fixed collocations. Based on a methodological reflection, the author attempted to determine which of God’s attributes are conveyed in these expressions. Attempts were also made to identify the linguistic mechanisms that contributed to that process. The author concluded that the image of God present in German phraseology was clearly consistent with the biblical worldview. In the German language, God is depicted as someone good, just, trustworthy, but sometimes also wrathful and stern. According to the beliefs conveyed by the German language, God dwells in heaven, from which He rules over the world as God almighty. God is portrayed explicitly or implicitly, often through metaphorical and metonymic structures. God’s attributes are frequently portrayed in a language whose modality is full of reverence and supplication and is indicative of man’s dependence on Him, as well as through the use of exclusively adulatory vocabulary.

The article presents the linguistic creation of God in the play Raj (“Paradise”) written by Jacek Kaczmarski and is based on the method used in research into linguistic creation of worlds in literary texts. The analysis of the excerpted material was to show in which way Kaczmarski presented God and whether his creation was in accordance with the stereotypical concept of the Supreme Being. Stereotypical conceptualisations of God has been identified: King and Judge. The God created by Kaczmarski is perfect. However, he is deprived of other features that are ste-reotypically attributed to him: goodness, love, essential identity and eternity. During the Final Judgement the heartless God deprived of any pity for people becomes an indicter of the human being. Consequently, he becomes alonely God, condemned to perpetual solitude. Such an image of God created by Kaczmarski results from his concept of totalitarian power. In this context the image of alonely God, aware of his failure, is supposed to give hope that better times will come.

Celem artykułu jest ukazanie językowej kreacji Boga w spektaklu Raj Jacka Kaczmarskiego. Wykorzystano w nim metodologię związaną z badaniem językowej kreacji świata w tekstach literackich. Analiza materiału wyekscerpowanego z utworów miała pokazać, w jaki sposób Kaczmarski ukazuje Boga i czy Jego kreacja jest zgodna z ogólnie przyjętym pojmowaniem Istoty Najwyższej. Wyodrębniono stereotypowe konceptualizacje Boga: Króla, Sędziego. Boga wykreowanego przez Kaczmarskiego cechuje doskonałość i stwórczość. Pozbawiony jest natomiast innych cech zwyczajowo mu przypisywanych: dobroci, miłości, istotowej odrębności i wieczności. Podczas Sądu Ostatecznego bezduszny Bóg, pozbawiony miłości do ludzi, staje się Wielkim Oskarżycielem człowieka. W konsekwencji staje się Bogiem samotnym, skazanym na dożywotnią samotność. Taka kreacja Boga u Kaczmarskiego wiąże się z jego koncepcją władzy totalitarnej. W tym kontekście obraz Boga samotnego, świadomego swojej porażki, ma dać nadzieję odbiorcom na nadejście nowych, lepszych czasów.

The aim of this study is to present the expressions referring to God the Father in the religious poems of Konstancja Benisławska. Pieśni sobie śpiewane (Eng. Songs sung for oneself) published during the Enlightenment (1776) contain many structures showing how the poet perceived God. Characteristic combinations indicate his goodness and power: our father, our only father, our gracious father, our almightily father, our wonderful father, nice and good father. [Ojciec nasz, Ojciec jedyny, Ojciec łaskawy, Ojciec wszechmogący, Ojciec przedziwny, Ojciec miły i Ojciec dobry]. There are also anthropomorphic elements (father’s hand, father’s face [ręka Ojca, twarz Ojca ]) and an expression associated with the dogma of the Trinity which corroborate an opinion that God the Father is a person of the Trinity.

Obecne są też elementy antropomorficzne (ręka Ojca, twarz Ojca), a także wyrażenie związane z dogmatem trynitarnym przekonują, że Bóg Ojciec jest osobą Trójcy Świętej.

In research that is carried out using H.G Gough's and A.B. Heilbrun Jr's The Adjective Checklist with modified instruction, we have reached confirmation of the occurence of similarities between the image of the parents, self and the image of God, as assumed in object relations theory. A subject group of Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACA) of 32 women and 31 men was compared with a group without psychological burdens and analogous in age and number. We found evident difference in their self image and image of God: ACA women judge themselves more negatively as compared to the control group and their image of God is less similar to the image of their own father.

The concept of the divine image in the patristic thought has a very rich tradition and a well-developed semantics. In an exegetic interpretation one can find both a broad treatment of this concept and a very narrow one, the objective one. In the strict sense of this word, the Divine Image, on the image of whom was created man, is Christ, the Incarnate Logos, who has fulfilled the eternal, divine intent towards man and towards the whole creation, which was the divinisation and the state when God will be all in all (1 Corinthians 15:28).

The addressee of the biblical texts speaking of Adam’s sin and its consequences for humanity, are the people living already under its influence. In the beginning the Revelation sets the perspective of the Redemption of man afflicted with original sin. Precisely speaking, such perspective is the key to interpretation of the revealed reality. The prospect of Redemption leads to Christ. Through Adam’s sin human nature was deprived of sanctifying grace, and certain gifts involved the original state. Man still is the image and likeness of God, original sin however limits its clarity of that fundamental attribute of humanity created by God, and it puts man on the waiting road for the coming of his Redeemer. The Christian concept of death is not limited merely to its inevitability and universality, and to strict relationship with sin and disobedience. Christ shed new light on its mystery. In that light death appears to be an instrument of salvation, and a commitment to life as the execution of the will of God in the name of obedience. Human nature determines the “order of creation” and it forms close relationship with the reality of the image of God. That “Trinitarian understanding” of His image involves a category of gift, by which man and woman become one in communio personarum. The original sin has not destroyed that structure. The history of man and woman is a record of the saving completion of “spousal” meaning of the human body. The principle of that record is the image of God in man, and its depth affects the secrets of the human heart.

Adresatami tekstów biblijnych mówiących o grzechu Adama i jego skutkach dla całej ludzkości są ludzie żyjący już pod jego wpływem. Od początku objawienie wyznacza perspektywę odkupienia dla człowieka dotkniętego grzechem pierworodnym. Właśnie ta perspektywa jest kluczem interpretacyjnym objawionej rzeczywistości. Perspektywa odkupienia prowadzi do Chrystusa. Przez grzech Adama ludzka natura została pozbawiona łaski uświęcającej oraz pewnych darów wiążących się ze stanem pierwotnym. Człowiek wciąż jest obrazem Boga i jest do Niego podobny, ale grzech pierworodny ogranicza wyrazistość tej fundamentalnej właściwości ludzkości stworzone przez Boga, a człowieka stawia na drodze oczekiwania na przyjście jego Odkupiciela. Chrześcijańska koncepcja śmierci nie ogranicza się jedynie do jej nieuchronności i powszechności oraz ścisłego związku z grzechem i nieposłuszeństwem. Chrystus rzucił nowe światło na jej tajemnicę. W świetle tym śmierć jawi się jako narzędzie zbawienia, a oddanie życia jako wykonanie Bożej woli w imię posłuszeństwa. Natura człowieka jest wyznacznikiem „porządku stworzenia” i tworzy ścisły związek z rzeczywistością Bożego obrazu. Z jego „trynitarnym rozumieniem” wiąże się kategoria daru, poprzez który mężczyzna i kobieta w communio personarum stają się jednością. Grzech pierworodny nie zniszczył tego układu. Historia mężczyzny i kobiety jest zapisem zbawczego dopełniania się „oblubieńczego” znaczenia ludzkiego ciała. Podstawą tego zapisu jest obraz Boży w człowieku, a jego głębia dotyka tajników ludzkiego serca.

The lecture deals with the peculiarity of the anthropology of Eastern Christians, which in broad outline is already present in the writings of many Greek Fathers. It consists especially in considering state of divine grace as divinisation (théôsis) of man. Its other distinctive features are real diff erence between image and likeness of God and threefold composition of man, according to Platonic expression of saint Paul: „your spirit and soul and body” (1 Thess 5, 23). Because Greek anthropology basicly agrees with Latine doctrine and in the new orthodox theology it obtains more and more attention, it seems that exchange of ideas in this field between Western and Eastern theologians is advisable, also in order to facilitate their dialogue on the main subjects.

The lion is known as the “king of beasts”. Its physical appearance, its strength, dignified movements and fierceness in killing have all left a deep impression upon the human mind. Not surprisingly, lions are mentioned in the Bible for their might (2Sam 1:23), boldness (2Sam 17:10), ferocity (Ps 7:2) and craftiness (Ps 10:9). Biblical leonine references occur in both literal and metaphorical usage. A “king of beasts”-type image is very often used to describe YHWH and His power, especially in the Prophets (Isa 5:29; 31:4; 38:13; Jer 25:38; 49:18-19; Hos 5:14; 13:7). Additionally, there are six mentions of the lion in the Book of Amos (Amos 1:2; 3:4,8,12; 5:19). There the prophet compares God to a lion, a word-picture which allows him to convey two core themes: First, the image serves to elucidate the relationship between God and the prophet – YHWH and His messenger. Amos achieves this through the metaphor of hearing the roar of the lion, an image of  God’s voice, which in reality is heard by all people (Amos 1:2). Secondly, Amos heralds the coming punishment and its terror. God himself has spoken, and thus the prophet speaks (Amos 3:8).  The key message of this second lion image in Amos is the inevitability of God’s punishment: in the same way that a lion devours its prey, YHWH will punish the crimes of Israel, and the Israelites will not be able to run from Him (Amos 3:4,12; 5:19).

Lew jest nazywany królem zwierząt. Jego wygląd, dostojne ruchy i gwałtowność w zabijaniu pozostawiły głębokie ślady w ludzkim umyśle. Lwy występują także w Starym Testamencie, gdzie m.in. są wspominane ze względu na ich siłę (2 Sm 1,23), śmiałość (2 Sm 17,10), drapieżność (Ps 7,2) czy zwinność (Ps 10,9). Pojawiają się one zarówno w dosłownym, jak i metaforycznym sensie. „Król zwierząt” jest także bardzo często przywoływany dla opisania YHWH i Jego potęgi. Jest szczególnie obecny w księgach prorockich (Iz 5,29; 31,4; 38,13; Jr 25,38; 49,18-19; Oz 5,14; 13,7; Lm 3,10-11). W Księdze Amosa jest sześć wzmianek o tym drapieżnym zwierzęciu (Am 1,2; 3,4.8.12; 5,19). Prorok porównuje Boga do lwa i ta metafora pozwala mu przekazać następujące przesłanie: (1) relację pomiędzy Bogiem i prorokiem, (2) zapowiedź kary i jej grozę. Bóg przemówił, i dlatego prorok mówi (Am 3,8). Stąd pierwsze znaczenie obrazu, w którym pojawia się lew, dotyczy Boga i proroka – YHWH i Jego posłańca (rzecznika). Amos używa metafory ryku lwa, aby zobrazować Boży głos, który dociera do wszystkich ludzi (Am 1,2). Drugim przesłaniem jest nieuniknioność Bożej kary – w taki sam sposób jak lew pożera swoją ofiarę, YHWH ukarze zbrodnie Izraela, a Izraelici nie będą w stanie uciec (Am 3,4.12; 5,19).

Origen was one of the greatest biblical scholars of the early Church, having written commentaries on most of the books of the Bible. He recognized great au­thority of the scripture. In anthropology he gave attention to the text of saint Paul: “May the God who gives us peace make you holy in every way and keep your whole being – spirit, soul, and body – free from every fault at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” (1Thess 5:23). According to this text Origen recognized in hu­man being three elements. He tried to unite trichotomy with a concept of division of human being into two parts: interior and exterior man. Spirit in this concept is soul’s teacher and a special form of participation in the divine being. In a sense spirit is ontological image of God in man and for man it is impossible to lose it. Soul is the center of man in which he makes decisions. Soul was originally cre­ated in close proximity to God, with the intention that it should explore the divine mysteries in a state of endless contemplation. The body unites man with the whole created world and gives him material aspect. Origen’s anthropology is very com­plicated but more dynamic then static division on body and soul. If the soul is go­ing to spirit, it become more spiritual, otherwise if the soul is close to the body, it become more materialistic. In this view without any doubt the human soul is posed between spirit and body and is able to acquiesce the desires of spirit but is able to let itself to be led by carnal desires, too. According to Origen man is body, because is creature, which dies, but through the body is able to communicate with mate­rial world. Man is soul because lives and is able to choose. Man is spirit because is open to God and is able to recognize and love God. Trichotomic anthropology shows that ontological and moral aspects of human being permeate each other and it demonstrates the interior drama and struggle, which always exists in man.

The series of the eight homilies on Genesis written by John Chrysostom include many clues to why the article was chosen. It is considered on the grounds that it is leitmotiv. It is the clue of the order of beings – settled at the moment of creation, spoiled by sin, looked to be restored by human effort and fully realized in Christ. This order, which consists on the different relations, is shown as the important point of interest in the examination of the others clues. We are referring to the dignity of the man created in God’s image as well as similitude; the system of the dependencies between the beings; the significance of the sin of the people at the beginning and other sins; the idea in which God loves man; the salvation and the reward of the Kingdom of Heaven. This article tends also to show, how Chrysostom looks to help his followers during their meeting Christ, in the way of the studying the Scrip- ture, of dogmas and of the life, which should be coherent to the Scripture.

The article takes the issue of the image of God in the perspective of the relationships between faith and science. The structure of the article determines the three kinds of relationships between them. The first two are relations of conflict resulting on the one hand from the supremacy of faith over science, on the other - the reduction of faith by science. The third group of relations is the positions of dialogue and integration. Each relationship casts on the image of God. The consequence of the supremacy of faith over the science is the understanding of God as a distant, unknownable, inaccessible to man, and on the other as a tyrant who does not respect the autonomy, freedom and dignity of his creation. In the reduction of faith by science the image of God is twofold. On the one hand, God is reduced to the role of physics premise and assumption of the mechanics of the universe or to the Newtonian Watchmaker, and on the other is by science rejected as an unnecessary assumption. These claims of science are, however, included in the materialistic and atheistical position and going beyond their competences. The positions of dialogue and integration show that not only is no conflict between faith and science, but also that the results of science are the basis for a credible understanding of God’s image, which is consistent with his biblical image.

Prezentowany artykuł jest owocem refleksji teologicznych nad tematyką życia. Fenomen życia jawi się na wielu płaszczyznach, często jednak do końca nie można go zdefiniować, gdyż jest tajemnicą. Autorka artykułu, opierając się na prawdzie, że człowiekjest jednością biologiczno-psychiczno-duchową, interpretuje te sfery. Podąża za myślą św. Bonawentury i określa je mianem vestigium, umbra oraz imago Dei. Szczegółowej analizie poddaje zagadnienie życia duchowego w kategorii Imago Dei, przez co korzystającz dziedzin pozateologicznych, próbuje odpowiedzieć na nasuwające się pytania: czy tylko w człowieku istnieje otwartość na transcendencję, co znaczy być obrazem Boga i w jaki sposób osiągnąć pełnię życia. Sfera bios, psyche i zoe w osobie ludzkiej wzajemniesię przenikają, lecz to życie duchowe przewyższa poprzednie dwie płaszczyzny, przez co odróżnia człowieka od innych stworzeń oraz nadaje mu wyjątkowy charakter. Bóg w swej dobroci i wolności udziela człowiekowi życia, stwarza go jako istotę wolnąi na swój obraz. Jednakże doskonałym Obrazem Ojca jest Jezus Chrystus. We wcieleniu ukazał nam pełnię człowieczeństwa i dzięki naśladowaniu i zjednoczeniu z Chrystusem człowiek może upodabniać się do obrazu Boga, by ostatecznie uzyskać pełnię udziału wewspólnocie z Bogiem Trójjedynym.

This article is the result of theological research on the subject of life. The phenomenon of life is multifaceted, but often it cannot be defined because it is a mystery. The author of the article, based on the truth that man is a biological-psycho-spiritual unity, interprets these spheres in the key of St. Bonaventure’s idea, describes them as vestigium, umbra, and imago Dei. The issue of spiritual life in the category of Imago Dei is analyzed in detail. The author tries to answer the questions that arise by using not only theological fields: or is there an openness to transcendence only in a man? What does it mean to be an image of God? How to achieve a full life? The sphere of bios, psyche, and zoe in the human person are permeating each other, but this spiritual life transcends the previous two planes. This distinguishes man from other creatures and gives him a unique character. God, in His goodness and freedom, grants man life, creates him as a free being and in His image. But the perfect image of the Father is Jesus Christ. In His Incarnation, He showed us the fullness of humanity and through imitation and union with Christ, man can become conformed to the image of God. In this way, it is finally possible to obtain full participation in the communion with God in the Holy Trinity.

W artykule przedstawiono podstawy teo-logii Guardiniego. Chodzi tu o wąski zakres teo-logii wywodzący się wprost z etymologii. Podstawy „słowa o Bogu” profesora z Monachium zawierają się w twórczym napięciu wyrażonym w słowach „Bóg daleki – Bóg bliski”. Bóg, nie przestając być Bogiem nieznanym, całkowicie Innym, poza „granicą”, jest jednocześnie Bogiem bliskim – w objawione tajemnicy stworzenia na obraz i podobieństwo Boże, w relacji „ja – Ty” do której zaprasza oraz w tajemnicy opatrzności. Kulminacją bliskości Boga jest wcielenie, dzięki któremu możemy mówić o „ludzkim” Bogu i możemy Go „zobaczyć”. Podsumowaniem jest prezentacja Bożych paradoksów oscylujących między biegunami bliskości i oddalenia

Romano Guardini, one of the greatest theologians of the 20th century, can be called a ‘man of borders’. Guardini was born in Italy but lived in Germany. He was an educated theologian and philosopher, with a passion for knowledge of literature, art, psychology and pedagogy. Being a ‘man of borders’ has resulted in a comprehensive and wide-eyed glance at God, world, man, and their reciprocal relation to life, which has contributed to the development of deep religious culture of his lifetime. This article attempts to present the basics of Guardini’s theology. Precisely, it concerns a narrow range of theology derived directly from etymology. The foundations of the Munich Professor’s theology about the ‘word about God’ lie in the creative tension expressed in the words ‘Close God – Remote God’. Being the God that can be defined as unknown, completely different, outside the ‘boundary’, God is also at the same time a close God – in the revealed mystery of creation, in the image and likeness of God, in the relationship ‘me – You’ to which He invites. Also in the mystery of Providence. The culmination of God’s closeness is the Incarnation, thanks to which we can speak of a ‘human’ God whom we can ‘see’. The summary of the article constitutes a presentation of God’s paradoxes oscillating between the poles of proximity and distance.

The purpose of the present article is to present the theme ofwoman in John Paul II's "theology ofbody". The sign of our times is an attempt to relativize the importance of human's nature in the name of equality between man and woman. It seems that the most satisfying answer to this approach may be given by explaining the true meaning of the human nature embodied in male and female. After having described the foundations of the Christian anthropology, which were exposed by John Paul II in his Wednesday catecheses on the theology ofbody, the artide envisages the specificity of the human nature bound to the idea of the divine image in man. Subsequently, the autbor depicts the primary human experiences: loneliness, unity and nakedness. Each of them reveals the depths of the human nature's mystery which is the same formale and female, even if it is expressed in two different ways. Woman participating together with man in the same nature has nevertheless her proper speciticity bound to her "genie" which she shares by living ber life as a gift and offering herself to others.

Celem niniejszego artykułu jest przedstawienie obrazu kobiety w „teologii ciała” Jana Pawła II. Znakiem naszych czasów jest próba relatywizowania znaczenia natury człowieka w imię równości między mężczyzną i kobietą. Wydaje się, że najbardziej satysfakcjonująca odpowiedź na tego rodzaju podejście może być dana poprzez wyjaśnienie prawdziwego znaczenia natury ludzkiej ucieleśnionej w mężczyźnie i kobiecie. Po opisaniu podstaw chrześcijańskiej antropologii, zaprezentowanych przez Jana Pawła II podczas środowych katechez na temat teologii ciała, artykuł ukazuje specyfikę ludzkiej natury związanej z obrazem Bożym w nas. Następnie autor przytacza pierwotne ludzkie doświadczenia jak samotność, jedność i nagość. Każde z nich objawia głębię tajemnicy ludzkiej natury, która jest taka sama u mężczyzny i kobiety, chociaż wyraża się na dwa różne sposoby. Kobieta, uczestnicząc wraz z mężczyzną we wspólnej ludzkiej naturze, ukazuje specyfikę związaną z jej „geniuszem”, którym się dzieli przeżywając swoje życie jako dar i ofiarę dla innych.
