Źródła solidarności na przykładzie Orędzia na Światowy Dzień Pokoju 2014 papieża Franciszka
The sources of solidarity on the basis of pope Francis’ Message for the World Day of Peace 2014

Summary/Abstract: The paper discusses the foundation principles of solidarity set out in the papal teaching presented in the Message for the World Day of Peace 2014. Francis’ view on the notion of solidarity derives from the concept of common good. The key point of the papal discourse is the problem of the communal effort for the good of the entire community where it is strongly emphasised that no-one ought to be excluded from this task. There are two constituting elements of the principle of solidarity. The first one is the human activity which respects the moral norms. The latter, is the peace of Christ. Jesus is the Peace. Christians are called to proclaim Christ by their words and actions which corresponds to the call of building the God’s order in the world. The paper is divided into two parts. The first one accounts for the notion of solidarity in the context of the common good and relates to the teaching presented in Sollicitudo rei socialis. The latter part, on the other hand, focuses on Pope Francis’ ideas on the origins of the concept of solidarity that is the morally human activity, and the peace brought by Christ.
