Summary/Abstract: This is a collection of pastoral letters from Bishop Kazimierz Górny to the Diocese of Rzeszów during 1992−2011, which cover the varied roles and tasks of his ministry. In his letters, Bishop Rzeszowski asks for the intercession of Mary for the whole diocese and asks that they imitate Jesus in every action. Topics include the problems of raising children and young people who entrust in the Mother of God and concern for the development of religion in family life. He is grateful for the numerous testimonies of the clergy and their faith. Emphasis is also placed on patriotic values and the importance of the Homeland. He calls for conversion, which should embrace all, thanksgiving for the gift of the Incarnation of the Son of God and Redemption, and encourages sensitivity to the poor, the suffering and the rejected. The Ordinary urges you to listen to the Word of God which brings light and hope and encourages holiness. All the pastoral letters encourage self-esteem and express concern for man, especially those who lose their way in life, are weak and are suffering.
