Stawanie się darem jako realizacja człowieczeństwa
Becoming a Gift as the Realization of Humanity

Summary/Abstract: The article below presents God’s idea for living a human life, according to which man fulfills himself by becoming a gift. The article analyses the biblical accounts of the creation of man and texts by Karol Wojtyła - John Paul II regarding personalistic thought and the theology of the body. According to the personalistic norm presented in the text, a human being as a person has its inalienable dignity and value and shapes a proper attitude in all interpersonal relations. The key element in this interpersonal experience is the encounter with Christ - Love who is the only one to help a person understand him or herself. At the same time, discovering the nuptial meaning of the body leads to giving oneself as a gift in a completely free and gratuitous way. On the basis of mutual exchange of gifts, a communion of persons is born - communio personarum. Man, being created in the image and likeness of God, reflects the inner life of the Divine Person through the selfless exchange of gifts. Becoming a gift is the way leading a man to realize his humanity fully.
