Summary/Abstract: Jozef Tischner, a Polish famous priest, in his homilies performed on Turbacz moutain employs the potency of Polish highlander’s dialect and culture. The various aspects of his work constitute the process of pastoral persuasion in its meditative form. Regional elements mean the priviledged area of communication of the preacher and the faithful to which some threads of general ideas are linked. The accurate achievements—among which the inputting of regional elements as containing human experience (loci communes) into the context of Christian teaching arises—serve homiletical aims. These Tischner’s orations are an important point of reference in a discours on ‘inculturation’ of the Good News.
