Nineteenth-century religious-spiritual revival movements in the Catholic Church The religious and social context of the life and activity of Jadwiga Zamoyska née Działyńska

Summary/Abstract: Showing the context of the religious and social revival in Europe at the turn of the 19th and 20th century appears to be necessary to present the atmosphere in which Jadwiga Zamoyska lived and worked. A wide panorama of issues related to the renewal of spirituality helps to find the roots and motives of the awakening religious and social awareness, the role of the laity in this process, and especially the women’s movement. Pointing to the sources of renewal gushing from European centers is intended to show the relationship between spirituality in Poland and the spiri- tuality of the Church in Europe, which then influenced the development of spirituality around the world. Numerous schools of spirituality point to the richness of the religious life of that period. One of them, the Oratorian school, deepens Zamoyska’s spirituality. Undoubtedly, also other schools, whose spirituality permeated the faithful living in the Polish lands, had an impact on the beginning and development of the religious and social activities of the founder of the School of Economics in Kórnik.
