Apostolska idea życia ukrytego na podstawie dzieła O zgromadzeniach ukrytych przed światem (Katechizm życia ukrytego) bł. Honorata Koźmińskiego
Apostolic Idea of the Hidden Life According to bl. Honorat Koźmiński’s O zgromadzeniach ukrytych przed światem (Katechizm życia ukrytego) [On the Congregations Hidden from the World – the Catechism of the Hidden Life)

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is the presentation of the idea of hidden life and its apostolic dimension according to bl. Honorat Koźmiński (1829-1916), a Polish Capuchin and founder of numerous religious orders. This project has been actualised by the analysis and synthesis of the work O zgromadzeniach ukrytych przed światem (Katechizm życia ukrytego) [On the Congregations Hidden from the World – the Catechism of the Hidden Life) [Krakow 1901]. The present examination, made from the perspective of spiritual theology, reveals authentic monastic character of the hidden life and its application to apostolic tasks in various social states. Dealing with Koźmiński’s particular document is to contribute to research on his plentiful heritage, all the more that his idea corresponds with a broader spiritual notion of hidden life in contemporary times.
