Prezbiter – pierwszy, który „idzie i głosi” jako pasterz i przewodnik wspólnoty
Presbyter – the first one who „goes and preaches the word of God” as a shepherd and religious community guide

Summary/Abstract: The article shows a presbyter as a shepherd and religious community guide in the context of the current Church teachings and the community’s expectations. The basic role of a priest as a religious shepherd and guide is leading the faithful to Jesus Christ. A priest as a man of faith acts on the strength of received shepherd’s power, but also thanks to personal relation with Jesus, who is The Good Shepherd, as well as a source of shepherd mission and priest’s power. Building up relationships with the religious community, a presbyter fulfils a role of the first one following Jesus, and at the same time the first one preaching his word. In this way a priest becomes a genuine witness of faith and an evangelizer not only for the faithful, but also for non-believers.
