Summary/Abstract: Martyr of communism – Bl. Rev. Jerzy Popiełuszko belongs to the group of national preachers who have made a special mention in the history of the Church in the Homeland and in the history of the Nation. Among the many subjects of his teaching there was also a catechesis on the love of the Fatherland. Analysis of the blessed sermons indicates that the patriotic theme was present in each of the Żoliborz homilies preached during the famous “Holy Mass. for my homeland”. Bl. Rev. Jerzy Popiełuszko devoted a great deal of space to the history of Poland (the January, November, Polish-Bolshevik war, World War II) to show the sources of crises, heroism and glory of the Nation, and above all to show the Christian roots of Poland.
