Summary/Abstract: A person’s homeland is the terrain of vocation and moral responsibility; it is a gift and at the same time a moral task. Each person is called to care for the welfare of the homeland and all its needs with eagerness and firmness. This is an incredibly important task in terms of the Polish presence in the European Union, in a united Europe. In this perspective it is an especially significant task nowadays to show once again the value of the motherland and the moral obligations associated with patriotism. The homeland provides all that is necessary for a person to shape his own personality. In the present circumstances there is a need for an appropriate patriotic formation to be conducted, especially in the family, school and church environment. All these aspects of responsibility for one’s country can be found in the moral teachings of Fr. Prof. Jerzy Bajda.
