The poetical prayers by Zygmunt Krasiński are pessimistic about life. Their authors proves the tragedy of human existence. According to his poetical view nothing else is left but to say prayers for the grace of sudden death, which equals with human's liberation. The poems are - on the one hand - typical in the Catholic way of expression; on the other hand, due to Krasiński's desire of new afterlife connected with the existence despair, they went much beyond the Catholic outlook. Entire anthology of the lyrics is very much related to the poet's life, therefore it gets this particular autobiographical character.

Psychology of prayer

80%
EN
Practice of prayer has negative or positive psychological effects depending on the extent of frankness put in the prayer. Prayer, for which is characteristic instrumentation of God for own needs, brings in the end negative effects. Prayer might be filled by fetishistic and autistic intentions, might become an escape from real problems. The prayer related to God who is value himself leads to positive effect in its consequences: openness, trust and expression of will to change play important roles here. This process results in psycho-hygienic relevant development of regularity and order in everyday practice, clarification of values and differentiation between important and secondary things. Encounter with oneself, which is part of the prayer, challenges the worshipper to become willing to admit own mistakes, accept them and become able to bear the truth about own self. Similar process occurs in psychotherapy, where the person develops his positive aspects, recovers his abilities, lives a more authentic and fulfilling life. One doesn’t become a faultless man all of a sudden, but he „clarifies“ his personality, behavior as well as relationships. He becomes more and more integrated and authentic.

This paper presents and discusses two main theses. Firstly, the author claims that, contrary to what is commonly thought, neither the subject matter nor the meaning of Kazimierz Wierzyński’s later poems diff er significantly from the topics taken up in his debut volumes. The poet never lost his youthful faith in the order of the world, nor did he quench his admiration for the work of creation. It is the main and essential feature of his poetry. Secondly, an important element of Wierzyński’s poems, which reveals itself in various forms and shapes, is prayer. This form of expression is referenced directly in many titles and often functions as the central theme of the poems. Moreover, many of Wierzyński’s works represent exactly this speech genre. His volumes contain poetic prayers differing thematically and functionally, for all seasons and all times of a day, for various holidays, celebrations, and other occasions. The poetry by Kazimierz Wierzyński is in fact one big prayer of supplication, humility, delight, and thanksgivings.

Modlitwa według Marka Eremity

Mark the Ascetic is opposed to the Messalians. According to them,Satan inhabits the human heart from the fall and must be removed throughconstant prayer and expelled by receiving the Holy Spirit. For Mark theAscetic it is the Holy Spirit who lives in the human heart from his baptism.The believer must be vigilant because Satan wants to come from outside totake the place of the Spirit. The continuous prayer is therefore not a way ofgetting closer to God. It is a weapon in a spiritual battle trying to distanceus from God. It is even more than a weapon: it is love, because God and manare from the baptism in a love relationship which is expressed by prayer.Mark the Ascetic confronts the Messalians, who use the continuous prayeras a way of achieving salvation, a way which should result in the coming ofthe Holy Spirit. In this way, the Messalians “instrumentalise” prayer. Thestudies on Mark’s works, especially on his vocabulary to describe prayer,show his clearly defined position, which is completely different from theapproach of the Messalians. Prayer for Mark the Ascetic is neither means,nor instrument. It is a sign of love, an exchange of intimate love with God.By reaching for wedding terminology, Mark clearly shifts the accentonlove with God. Prayer becomes a place of love that is experienced in theheart of the faithful.

The author analyses and interprets the poem Rorate coeli by Andrzej Busza within two main contexts: firstly, the origin and poetic realisation of the Advent motif „rorate coeli desuper”, secondly, the structure of psalm as a literary genre, which has fixed indicators of a prayer, including a poetic prayer (invocation, petition, the subject of request). A significant role in the poem is played not only by performatives (request), but also sentences describing the spiritual status of the lyrical subject, which can be interpreted as the act of complaint directed to God.

In this paper, I describe several distinct visualizations that I recognize in Jewish prayers. By the term prayers, I mean the texts recited by Jews in religious ritual contexts. By the term visualizations, I mean the formation of mental visual images of a place and time, of a narrative activity or scene, or of an inner disposition. The goals of the visualizations can include: (1) professed communication with God, articulation of common religious values for (2) personal satisfaction or for (3) the sake of social solidarity, or (4) attainment of altered inner emotional states or moods.

In this article we will focus on the use of address pronouns and some ritual formulas in religious language, in the way one address to the Deity, meant as a living presence, absent or depicted in the icons, analyzing some prayers or parts of prayers, of psalms etc. in the Orthodox or Catholic rite, in Romanian, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese, insisting on the use of the mystical and intimate address pronoun TU. We also refer to some greetings and other ritualistic forms which came forward in ceremonious situations.

The author’s aim is to analyse religious hymns and litterary prayers contained in love elegies by Tibullus. These genres are used in order to emphasise his sincere relation with poet’s native villages and to underline his intense attachment to Messala.

The article publishes two hitherto unpublished texts which were written at the turn of the 15th century in two incunabula. One is the Polish Decalogue in verse recorded in the incunabulum of the Library of the Canons Regular of the Lateran in Cracow, whereas the second text is the Latin Oracio contra febram with an insertion in the Polish language from the incunabulum of the National Library in Warsaw.

Re:Logos – o nieumiejętności modlitwy

PL
Celem eseju jest zachęta do namysłu nad (nie)wypowiadalnością modlitwy, która bywa dziś punktem przecięcia błądzeń ludzi wierzących i niewierzących. Próba mówienia o modlitwie sytuuje się między Heideggerowskim „Tylko Bóg mógłby nas uratować” i jego: „Jedyne, co możemy zrobić, to przygotować w poezji i w myśleniu gotowość na pojawienie się Boga albo w upadku – gotowość na brak Boga” a dekonstrukcją chrześcijaństwa Jeana-Luca Nancy’ego, którą wieńczy przepowiadanie adoracji jako najwłaściwszego naszym czasom sposobu bycia i myślenia. W pierwszej części wypowiedzi zostanie zarysowany projekt fenomenologicznej antropologii modlitwy – w drugiej zaś jej dekonstrukcji, odsłaniającej wołanie jako nowy sposób twórczego myślenia, przekraczającego zamysł poznania w stronę kreacji świata i sensu.

The objective of this essay is to inspire reflections on the (non)expressiveness of prayer, which today is sometimes an intersection of the errors of believers and non-believers. An attempt at speaking about prayer situates itself between Heidegger’s: ”Only a God can save us” and: ”The only possibility of salvation left to us is to prepare readiness, through thinking and poetry, for the appearance of the god or for the absence of the god during the decline” and the deconstruction of Christianity conducted by Jean-Luc Nancy, completed with a prediction of adoration as the manner of being and thinking most suitable for our times. The first part of my statement will outline a project of the phenomenological anthropology of prayer, while the second – of its deconstruction, revealing that imploration is a new manner of creative thinking, transcending the intention of cognition towards the creation of the world and meaning.

Telesfor Chełchowski’s Gorzkie żale moskalofilskie [The Moscophile Lenten Lamentations] (1917) is a text which corresponds to the poetics of political disputes of the Polish in exile at the turn of the 19th and the 20th century. At the same time, the author draws on from the Polish literary tradition. Through making references to the prayer convention and model – Lenten (Bitter) Lamentations – and taking into account the genesis, Chełchowski’s text can be regarded as travesty or a specimen of the model. This reference manifests itself in the structure: 1) Awakening; 2) Considerations; 3) three identically complex parts which are internally structured, that is Hymn boleści [A hymn of anguish], Lament moskafilów nad cierpiącym ekscarem [A lament of Moscophiles over the suffering ex-Tsar], Wesoła rozmowa moskofila z koniowcem [A merry talk between a Moscophile and a horsephile]; 4) Zakończenie lamentów moskafilskich [The conclusion of Moscophile laments], as well as in the consistently applied metric model, stylistic and semantic references.

In religious studies, prayer has been extensively researched. Psychological studies use survey methods, so low-educated respondents often cannot comprehend the items. A projective method is presented, based on the Thematic Apperception Test by A. Murray and Ch. Morgan. Data collected in semi-structured interviews are used for qualitative research and for statistical analysis. Quantitative analysis of the references to prayer in narratives has yielded certain results, confirming the usefulness of the test. Qualitative analysis has revealed specificity of the petition and intercession prayer and has called attention to association of location to specific types of prayer.

In Eastern Christianity, and starting from the Gospel words “pray without ceasing”, the monks have developed almost from the beginning the so-called “prayer of heart” or “Jesus prayer”. In time, this prayer had many versions, all of them very short ones. Today, the most renowned version is found in the formula: “Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, the sinner”. In our world, in which the contribution of reason to the development of “man” and humanity is more and more asserted, even to the extent of separating reason from sentiment, the prayer of the heart is advising us to give up the apparent superiority of reason and to censor our thoughts and experiences, filtering them through the heart. It is not the heart which finds its rest into the mind, but rather the mind finds its rest in the heart – into the depth of the heart closely united with the depth of God, the “object” of its search. The mind descended in the heart does not encounter God any more through ideas, but through the experience of His presence, which allows it to verify in reality what the mind thinks. This means that reason cannot comprehend God in the way the heart can, that – for the relationship of man with God – the heart is for the mind a kind of sense organ necessary for accomplishing equilibrium. Contemporary man is very anxious about the rational understanding of God, of the world and of himself. The prayer of the heart offers to this man the rediscovery of a forgotten relationship, that between mind and heart, in order that within the conscience of man, within his daily existence and within the world may exist more peacefully, harmoniously and with fulfillment – more divine presence.

The main message of the article was to present the message of Fatima to the moral and spiritual renewal of the Nation. As a specific purpose designated structure reflection. The appearance of the message required in the first place to present its content. It is a call to conversion, prayer and penance. And these are the constituent elements of the message identified the order of presentation of news in the current reality of human life in society. First of all, man must recognize his own sinfulness and confess it before God. Only then will grow spiritually. In this respect, Fatima’s call to repentance in no way become outdated. Through prayer, one deepens his relationship with God. In this respect, it clearly reveals the validity of Mary Fatima calls for prayer and also revealed his date for the spiritual renewal of modern humans. Every man, if he wants to grow spiritually and affect the metabolism of the national community can not fail to pray, including, above all, praying the rosary. In addition to prayer, another part of the Fatima message, is repentance. In making it, he regains inner harmony, bringing the subordination of the senses to reason and his will, and thus increases in union with God. Thus, each individual must be a man of penance, to which Mary called in the message of Fatima. The more such people, the more people that you create will be nobler.

In the age of secularisation, prayer is becoming an increasingly difficult act of believers to understand. Extremely dangerous individualism and subjectivism is the contemporary threat to common and community prayer. All of this makes it necessary to take a new look at this category of prayer so that it leads to an authentic testimony from Christians in the world. In this way, it also prevents the dangerous exclusivity of believers themselves when faced with challenges. Among the whole variety and categories of prayers, communal prayer and the prayer of community are very important. This distinction is necessary because it reveals to us the truth that every prayer has a communal character even though it is not always a common prayer. However, prayer celebrated together is the source of life for the Christian, the Church and the clearest and most readable testimony of faith.

It is every Christian’s task to strengthen his/her relationship with God and other men, to obey the Gospel and to reconcile the teachings of the Church with the demands of the external world. These tasks require hard work, and they can be a mission in our daily social activities. This is the essence of the spiritual life of Christians living in the contemporary world. Human values and conscience are shaped by the family, and families that fully meet an individual’s demand for love and compassion saw the seeds of a civilization of love. Pope Francis calls for a global “ecological conversion” by acknowledging that ecological spirituality stems from our faith. The teachings of the Bible influence our thoughts, feelings and actions. Our efforts to protect the environment should be based on more than just formal doctrine. They require a certain degree of mysticism that motivates people to take individual action and participate in community work. “Ecological conversion” is the next step in our relationship with Christ that sheds a new light on the surrounding world.

The paper addresses the issue of speech acts in charismatic evangelical groups. Its main thrust oscillates around the notion of prayer and its untypical character. The features that make this speech act unique comprise elements that betray traits of the magical function of language. At the same time there is a lack of classical forms of address, typical for more traditional Christian Churches.
