Diecezja siedlecka obchodzi w tym roku 20. rocznicę ogłoszenia błogosławionymi Wincentego Lewoniuka i XII Towarzyszy, męczenników za wiarę z Pratulina. Byli oni ludźmi prostymi, zwyczajnymi ale duchowo dojrzałymi, o czym świadczy nie tylko ich męczeństwo, ale całe życie. Męczennicy z Pratulina oddali swe życie za jedność Kościoła i wierność papieżowi. Ich wierność obietnicom chrztu świętego i umiłowanie Kościoła są wzorem do naśladowania dla współczesnych wiernych. W niniejszym artykule zostały ukazane wybrane aspekty duchowości męczenników z Pratulina, jakie przedstawiają dokumenty przygotowane dla beatyfikacji oraz liczne świadectwa im współczesnych. Zwróciliśmy uwagę na umiłowanie Eucharystii, modlitwy i ducha autentycznej pobożności, które cechują ich życie. Męczennicy uczą również miłości do Kościoła i troski o jego rozwój. Ukazaliśmy również ich przywiązanie do Ojca Świętego i jego nauczania. Ostatnim rysem charakteryzującym męczenników jest ich pobożność maryjna i przywiązanie do Matki Bożej. Analizując te i inne elementy duchowości męczenników została ukazana ich aktualność we współczesnym Kościele.

This year the diocese of Siedlce celebrates 20th anniversary of the beatification of Vincent Lewoniuk and 12 Companions, the Pratulin Martyrs for the faith. They were simple and ordi-nary people but spiritually matured what proves their martyrdom as well as their entire lives. The Martyrs of Pratulin sacrificed their lives for the unity of the Church and faithfulness to the Pope. Their faithfulness to the baptismal vows and love to the Church are clear patterns for the faithful of today to be followed. In this article we consider some selected aspects of the spirituality of the Pratulin Martyrs, that are presented in the documents prepared for their beatification purposes and also numerous testimonies of their contemporaries. We will also point to their love for the Eucharist, prayer and the spirit of authentic piety that mark their lives. We will also present their commitment to the Pope and his teaching. The last feature that characterize the Martyrs is their devotion to Our Lady. The author, analyzing these and other elements of the spirituality of the Martyrs, poses the question about their relevance for the modern Church.

The article analyses Thomas More’s firm attitude defending his conscience, which did not allow him to swear an oath. The basis for reflection is his prison correspondence, especially with her daughter Margaret. He remained faithful to his conscience because he refused to submit the required signatures and was beheaded, but gained eternal salvation. He studied for a long time, meditated and prayed to make the right decision. The closest urged him to change his decision, but he refused. He was not affected by accusations, slander, threats or flattery. He did not swear an oath and did not explain anything. He preserved freedom of conscience and responsibility for his own decisions. He did not judge anyone else. All the time he showed respect and loyalty to the king and constantly assured of his prayers in king’s intentions. Despite the weakness and fear of death, he put everything into God's hands. He was a prisoner of conscience and gave his live in the name of fidelity to the Church and the Holy See.
