Summary/Abstract: Jacek Krawczyk (1966-1991), a secular Catholic who studied theology at Catholic University of Lublin perfectly realized the ideal of a Christian by living with faith, hope and love, and practicing the moral virtues that lead him to serve God and man. He received thorough religious education and through the deepened life of prayer, he discovered the path of his secular calling to holiness, which was confirmed by his heroic love in the service of the sick and the poor. The depth of faith and trust in God has been expressed above all by the courageous endure of a deadly illness in which he was fed by the sacraments, until the end he became a witness to the love of Christ crucified. Jacek is an example of a young man who, being sensitive to beauty and good and enjoying life in marriage, has consistently matured to eternity.
