Keywords: Izdebki parish; population; religion; migration

After World War II, Izdebki Paris, which belonged to the diocese of Przemyśl, had an average number of followers. One year before the outbreak of hostilities, Izdebki was inhabited by 2300 people. At the end of the war and Nazi occupation, the demographic situation changed significantly. In 1945, the population of Izdebki parish amounted to 2462 inhabitants. The territory of Izdebki parish was inhabited by three population groups: Roman Catholics, Greek Catholics and adherents of Judaism. Changes in the population structure of the village and parish of Izdebki were influenced by the following factors: war activities (extermination of the Jewish population, transportation to forced works), conversion of part of the population of Greek Catholics to Roman Catholicism, migration resulting from the deterioration of the socio-economic situation in the Brzozów region.

Keywords: John Paul II; priestly formation; “Pastores Dabo Vobis”; Angelus meditations; identity of the priest; spirituality of the priest; priestly mission

Both the Synod of Bishops of 1990 which was dedicated to the formation of priests and the Exhortation of John Paul II, “Pastores Dabo Vobis” have had an essential influence on the reorganization of the priestly formation in the Church. During the preparations for the Synod, John Paul II throughout one year, during his Angelus meditations undertook the most important topics concerning the priesthood and the priestly formation. The Pope discussed the challenges and tasks of the priests of today and of the candidates to the priesthood. He pointed to the need of the Church’s prayer for vocations, the role of family and seminary, as preparing communities for the priesthood. He presented some important dimensions of the priesthood such as its Trinitarian nature, its close relationship with Christ and the cooperation of priests with the power of the Holy Spirit. He showed a special relationship of priests with the Mary, Mother of God who is an educator of the priestly vocations and Mother of priests. Then he emphasized that the priests should be men of faith, hope and love, living in fraternal communion and in the unity with God, prayerful, immersed in God’s wisdom. He emphasized that the priests must live radicalism of the Gospel, especially the evangelical counsels: poverty, obedience, chastity of priestly celibacy. Finally the Pope called attention to the activity of priests, which should manifest themselves as collaborators of God, as ministers of reconciliation and of the Eucharist, as men capable for sacrifice, sensible for the suffering and disposed for missionary work.

It was established by the Bishop of Cracow Jan Gruszczynski, who was also both the chancellor of Poland and contemporary Polish Primate. Konieczkowa Parish district included four villages: Konieczkowa, Jawornik, Nowa Wies and Gwoznica. Niebylec town joined the Parish in 1509 and a village Malowka in 1608. The first Parish – Priest was Stanislaw from Opatowiec. The Niebylec Parish was funded by Janusz Romer, contemporary owner of Niebylec. It was established by Cracow Suffragan Bishop Wojciech Lipnicki. The Niebylec Parish district was the same as the Konieczkowa District. Two villages Blizianka and Gwozdzianka joined it in 1782. Gwoznica left the Parish district in 1864 and Jawornik in 2008. The Konieczkowa Parish and later the Niebylec Parish belonged to the Pilzno Decanate unlil 1608. Next, it belonged to the Strzyzow Decanate, in the Sacz Archdeaconry, the Pilzno Office and the Cracow Diocese. After the First Partition of Poland, from 1722 to 1806 the Parish belonged to the Tarnow Diocese. The number of parishioners has been continuously growing to 2600 worshippers at present. The first Niebylec Parish - Priest was Jan Bazaltowicz and dr Czeslaw Goraj is the present Parish - Priest.

The paper describes the basis of the Rule of Benedict of Nursia (d. 547) datascape environment present in the community of monks living in the monastery and the ways of acquiring information. The primary source of information for them was another man, especially a monk, and contact with the laity much they confine.Important information for them was verbal, which is transmitted by word and non-verbal information, transmitted gesture and posture. They used the word only in exceptional circumstances and with dignity. Also conveyed his command charged with words, but Cenobites were obliged to listen to him in silence. If you need anything, it’s more likely to be expressed by the movements of the body. Information plays an important role in the educational process, which is facilitated by the introduction of the discipline in the monastery. Abbots used the information for teaching and imparting knowledge, but the monks did not take an active role, but rather passively absorb everything supervisor told them. In exceptional cases, they can express their views, such as the common meeting. Monks depend primarily on the spiritual peace, hence they try to create the environment around them organized. Disinformation in them did not exist, because often they read the Rule and thus keep gaining knowledge about behavior. They knew so well their duties and rights and follow the top-down schedule.

Książę Augustyn Golicyn spędził większość swego życia we Francji, gdzie zajmował się intensywnie publikacją źródeł historycznych dotyczących głównie historii Rosji. Publikował również prace na temat katolicyzmu i jego roli w historii Rosji oraz możliwości, jakie katolicyzm otwierał dla jej przyszłości – czym kontynuował dyskusję otwartą przez Iwana Gagarina. W tej dyskusji Golicyn skoncentrował się na trzech problemach dzielących katolicyzm i prawosławie, a mianowicie: pochodzeniu Ducha Świętego, istnieniu czyśćca oraz prymatu papieskiego. Golicyn podkreślał, że wolność Kościoła w Rosji, będącego wówczas w pełni zależnym od władzy cesarskiej, możliwa jest jedynie po połączeniu się z Kościołem katolickim.

Keywords: unemployment; non-existent prospects for the future; labour migration; the opening of labour markets; better start; professional theme; the theme for earning; the depreciation of the qualifications

In a situation of considerable unemployment in Poland, the opportunity to go to work abroad allows the poles to get a better job and improve your financial situation. It can be said that it is better to leave and work than vegetate on the spot, with no prospects for development. Migration allows the poles to raise living standards. You can see it build up homes, refurbished homes, new cars, houses equipment. Thanks to the migration of many families rose from misery and stood on their feet. You can’t demonize this phenomenon, because more often than not accompanied by related departure charge strengthens family ties. Inducing a desire to leave the Polish is primarily a heavy situation on the labour market. Lack of work makes a lot of people decide to search for employment abroad. Most people, especially the young, looking for better living conditions, which, in turn, is inextricably linked with the creation of good jobs, giving the opportunity to live at the appropriate level. In Poland, sadly lacking such employers as high unemployment and a lack of prospects for “pushes” the poles to seek work abroad.

MISSIONS AND RETREATS IN THE DIOCESE OF PRZEMYŚL BETWEEN THE YEARS 1944-1964

MISJE I REKOLEKCJE W DIECEZJI PRZEMYSKIEJ W LATACH 1944-1964

Author(s): Marcin Kapłon / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 21/2014

Keywords: missions; retreats; the diocese of Przemyśl; missionary; retreat preacher; closed retreats

After World War II, the Church both in the Diocese of Przemyśl and throughout Poland had to face with a multitude of new issues. The ecclesiastical situation on the above-mentioned area was even more difficult considering the specific character of political and social circumstances, which firstly caused dividing the diocese by a military cordon and secondly created the state of temporariness connected with the activity of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UIA). No one needs to be convinced that apart from population and material loss, each war wreaks great havoc in terms of morality, and restoring stabilisation in such a delicate matter entails immense effort on the part of clergy. One of the ways to engage in pastoral work in this area are missions and retreats, to which the present article is devoted. Its purpose is to depict consicely the efforts of priests who organized spiritual excerises for members of their parishes, very often in the face of material and organizational problems, and most of all the obstacles posed by the communist system. Additionally, the author focuses on the requirements for preachers made by diocesan authorities and presents a general outline of missions in 18 chosen parishes of the Diocese of Przemyśl. What is more, lots of attention is devoted to closed retreats.

JESUS’ TRIAL BEFORE HEROD ANTIPAS

JESUS’ TRIAL BEFORE HEROD ANTIPAS

Author(s): Adam Kubiś / Language(s): English / Issue: 21/2014

Keywords: Herod Antipas; Jesus’ trial; Passion Narrative; silence; innocence

Opowiadanie o procesie Jezusa przed trybunałem Heroda Antypasa, zamieszczone w Ewangelii Łukaszowej 23,6-12, ma jedną główną funkcję, mianowicie ukazanie niewinności Jezusa. Wśród egzegetów spotyka się opinie, iż opowiadanie jest kompozycyjną fikcją, nieopartą na faktach, gdyż narracja ta nie wnosi niczego istotnego do Łukaszowego opisu męki i śmierci Jezusa, powtarzając jedynie występujące wcześniej motywy. Okazuje się jednak, iż opowiadanie, kładąc nacisk na znany już fakt niewinności Jezusa, posiada nowe elementy oraz odgrywa istotną rolę w ogólnym teologicznym przesłaniu Łukaszowego opisu męki Jezusa. Można zatem mówić o czterech funkcjach opowiadania, a właściwie funkcjach prezentacji niewinnego i milczącego Jezusa: historycznej (Jezus był niewinny, mimo że został postawiony przed sądem), chrystologicznej (milczenie Jezusa nawiązuje do proroctwa Iz 53,7 i wskazuje na jego tożsamość Cierpiącego Sługi Pańskiego; sąd nad Jezusem prowadzi do pojednania pomiędzy wrogami, Herodem i Piłatem, ukazując zbawienne skutki męki i śmierci Jezusa, co także wskazuje na Jego prawdziwą tożsamość, jako Zbawiciela i Dawcy Pokoju), pedagogicznej, czy inaczej parenetyczno-kerygmatycznej (prześladowany Jezus ukazany jest jako model do naśladowania dla prześladowanych chrześcijan) oraz apolo- getycznej (niewinność Jezusa potwierdzona jest przez dwa niezależne trybunały: żydowski i rzymski, co ma znaczenie w kontekście prześladowań pierwszych chrześcijan ze strony środowisk żydowskich i Cesarstwa).

THE STAUROLOGICAL CREDIBILITY OF THE GENESIS OF THE CHURCH

THE STAUROLOGICAL CREDIBILITY OF THE GENESIS OF THE CHURCH

Author(s): Jacenty Mastej / Language(s): English / Issue: 21/2014

Keywords: Jesus Christ; the Church; credibility; the cross; ecclesiogenesis

Celem niniejszego artykułu jest ukazanie staurologicznej wiarygodności genezy Kościoła. Tak postawiony problem został rozpatrzony w trzech punktach. Kolejno zaprezentowano następujące zagadnienia: eklezjalne aspekty królewskiej godności Jezusa (I); eklezjotwórczy charakter wydarzeń na Gol- gocie (II) oraz Pentekostalny aspekt śmierci Jezusa (III). Ukazując wiarygodność Kościoła w jego genezie trzeba mieć na uwadze złożoną strukturę Eklezji: naturalną i nadprzyrodzoną, historyczną i ponadhistoryczną, widzialną i niewidzialną. Właściwe ukazanie wiarygodności Eklezji wymaga zatem dostrzeżenia widzialnych elementów jego genezy oraz poznania i zrozumienia nadanej im przez Boga treści i historiozbawczego sensu.

THE MARIOLOGICAL INTERPRETATION OF THE PERICOPE ON „THE TRUE RELATIVES OF JESUS” (MATT. 12,46-50)

MARIOLOGICZNA INTERPRETACJA PERYKOPY „O PRAWDZIWYCH KREWNYCH JEZUSA” (MT 12,46-50)

Author(s): Mieczysław Michał Mikołajczak / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 21/2014

Keywords: mariology; interpretation; pericope

The author of the article in his scientific research presents an attempt at a Mariological interpretation of the pericope on the true relatives of Jesus (Matt. 12,46-50). He concludes that it is not St. Matthew’s intention to present Jesus as sending his relatives away without meeting them. The author points out that the Evangelist does not intend to take any stand on the position of Mary. He only emphasizes the exceptional standing of the disciples. The episode depicted in the narrative on the true relatives of Jesus (Matt. 12,46-50) has been clearly softened.In his article the author shows that Mary, the Mother of Jesus, the Messiah and His disciples are presented in a more favorable light than in Mk 3,31-35. St. Matthew has preserved a certain mariological continuity in his evangelical account in which he presents an exceptionally beautiful and extraordinary image of Mary, the Mother of Jesus, the Messiah. The picture of Mary presented indirectly in the pericope on the true relatives of Jesus (Matt. 12,46-50) remains in editorial harmony with earlier accounts in the Gospel of the Childhood of Jesus (Matt. 1-2). This outline of the image of Mary, the Mother of Jesus, the Messiah confirms the fact that she was held in high esteem by the first Church of Jesus Christ, when she was still alive.

SURSUM CORDA. HISTORY OF THE JUBILEE CROSS ON GIEWONT

SURSUM CORDA. HISTORIA KRZYŻA JUBILEUSZOWEGO NA GIEWONCIE

Keywords: cross; Giewont; Podhale; Kazimierz Kaszelewski; John Paul II; Stanisław Dziwisz; Władysław Bandurski; jubilee year; Zakopane

The tradition of placing crosses in the region of Podhale is long and dates back to the late eighteenth century. Choosing Mount Giewont as the place of the Jubilee Cross was an obvious decision, given that its summit was very popular and well-known. This cross was placed at the top of Giewont on 8th of July 1901, and was consecrated on 19 August 1901 by Fr. Władysław Bandurski, the chancellor of the curia of Kraków. He also delivered a fie- ry sermon. The initiator and coordinator of elevating the Jubilee Cross on Giewont was the parish priest of Zakopane Fr. Kazimierz Kaszelewski. John Paul II, during his visit to Zakopane in 1997, made a reference to the cross on Giewont. Since 1997 the image of the cross on Giewont appears on the coat of arms of Zakopane. The then secretary of Pope John Paul II, Stanislaw Dziwisz, currently Cardinal and Archbishop of Krakow, has also inserted the image of the cross on his coat of arms.

SACRED DEVOTIONAL IMAGES AS AN OBJECT OF COLLECTORS’ INTEREST

PRZEDSTAWIENIA DEWOCYJNE NA OBRAZKACH ŚWIĘTYCH, JAKO PRZEDMIOT ZAINTERESOWAŃ KOLEKCJONERSKICH

Author(s): Agnieszka Przywara / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 21/2014

Keywords: sacred religious images; small devotional pictures; collections

The man has always had a deeply developed sense of collecting various items. Such a passion was the foundation not only for institutional collecting, but also has had an influence on the formation of private collections. Often, because of such collections many things can be conserved for posterity. Simple sacred devotional images are among others such objects which are underrated. The tradition of small devotional pictures has its source in the Middle Ages. Over the next centuries, changed both the form and content of the religious pictures. Many of them were real works of art. The lapse of time, wars, historical storms and natural disasters caused that very few old sacred devotional pictures were conserved. Therefore it is right to preserve this type of collections from further damages. Many exhibitions, publications and lectures are organized by collectors and enthusiasts to make closer the theme of religious sacred images. The religious sacred pictures, despite their modest importance, are very precious cultural heritage of catholic culture, so it is important to take care to preserve them for future generations.

THE INTELLECTUAL AND PASTORAL FORMATION OF PERMANENT DEACONS IN THE UNIVERSAL CHURCH

FORMACJA INTELEKTUALNA I PASTORALNA DIAKONÓW STAŁYCH W KOŚCIELE POWSZECHNYM

Author(s): Ryszard Selejdak / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 21/2014

Keywords: the permanent diaconate; permanent deacons; intellectual and pastoral formation; integral formation; Ecclesiastical Magisterium; the sacrament of order; theological disciplines

This article addresses the two fundamental dimensions of an integral formation of future permanent deacons, namely intellectual and pastoral formation. The rapid change that has come about in the conditions in which the per- manent diaconate is exercised, social and cultural changes, the development of ecclesiastical and secular sciences and the development of Christian life in the various moments of its existence all demand of the deacon a solid formation. This is an essential condition upon which the fruitfulness of the perma- nent diaconate depends. For this reason it is of great significance. The intellectual and pastoral formation of candidates for the permanent diaconate are bound tightly together and complement one another. The programmes for the formation in question are found in the national Rationes institutionis diaconorum permanentium, prepared by the Episcopal Conferences and approved by the Congregation for the Clergy. Intellectual formation must embrace all of the disciples that belong to the ecclesiastical sciences and those connected with them. Pastoral formation, on the other hand, must present the theoretical and practical aspects of the ministry of future deacons so that they can carry out their pastoral duties effectively among the People of God.

THE CONCILIARY VIGILS AS THE FORM OF THE SPIRITUAL PRESENCE OF THE POLISH CHURCH AT THE SECOND VATICAN COUNCIL

CZUWANIA SOBOROWE FORMĄ DUCHOWEJ OBECNOŚCI KOŚCIOŁA POLSKIEGO NA SOBORZE WATYKAŃSKIM II

Author(s): Arkadiusz Smagacz / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 21/2014

Keywords: Second Vatican Council; Church in Poland; the conciliary vigils; John XXIII; kard. Stefan Wyszyński

Convened 50 years ago, the Second Vatican Council was a groundbreaking event in the history of the Common Church. Under difficult conditions of the communist regime, the Church in Poland contributed to the Council work in numerous areas. The decided majority of bishops, despite the problems with receiving passports, participated in the conciliary meetings directly. However, a wise shepherd of the Polish Church, which can definitely be said about Primate Stefan Wyszyński, wished that the matter of the Council became present in every Polish parish and family. By his inspiration a four-year pastoral program was created, commonly referred to as ‘the conciliary vigils’ whose aim was to pray and make offerings in the intention of the Second Vatican Council. The conciliary vigils became a unique work in the entire Common Church. Thanks to them the members of the Polish Church, despite the existence of the iron curtain, were able to take spiritual part in this significant event. In the first part of this article the author attempts to find the answer to the following question: what was the foundation of the conciliary vigils? The answer was contained in three theses: the influence of the attitude represented by Saint John XXIII, who was so dearly connected with Poland and Cardinal Wyszyński and his calling for prayer in the intention of the Council; ecclesiological sensitivity of the Primate of Poland, which expressed itself in the perception of the Church as the mystical Corpus Christi and his unique gift to translate into practice sublime theological assumptions. In the second part the author focuses on the presentation of the course of particular stages of conciliary vigils which also constituted the part of the Great Novena of the Polish Nation. Those were consequent initiatives: in 1962 – The conciliary vigil with Virgin Mary of Jasna Góra, in 1963 – the Conciliary deed of goodness; in 1964 – Victory over oneself for the Council and finally, in 1965 – giving oneself to the maternal enslavement of Virgin Mary, the Mother of Church for the freedom of the Church.

RADA FABRYKI KOŚCIOŁA W KODEKSIE PRAWA KANONICZNEGO Z 1917

Keywords: board factory church; Pope Pius X; The Code of Canon Law of 1917; the role of the laity in the life of the Church

Jednym z ważniejszych punktów programu pontyfikatu papieża Piusa X była reforma prawa kanonicznego, dlatego 19 marca 1904 wydał on mottu proprio Arduum sane munus, w którym powołał do życia Komisję Kodyfikacyjną oraz kolegium konsultorów w celu odnowienia dyscypliny koś- cielnej. Prace nad reformą prawa kanonicznego zostały ukończone przez papieża Benedykta XV, który bullą Providentissima Mater Ecclesia, wydaną 27 maja 1917 r., promulgował Codex Iuris Canonici.Według Kodeksu prawa kanonicznego z 1917 r., rada fabryki kościoła była organem, w skład której wchodził proboszcz, jako przewodniczący, oraz duchowni, jak i osoby świeckie nominowane przez ordynariusza lub swojego delegata. Rada nie posiadała osobowości prawnej. Jej zadaniem było admi- nistrowanie dobrami należącymi do kościoła. Należy podkreślić, że Kodeks jednoznacznie wykluczał możliwość ingerencji przez radę w sprawy dotyczące sprawowania kultu Bożego w kościele. W aktualnym Kodeksie prawa ka- nonicznego nie występuje żadne odniesienie do rady fabryki kościoła. Obecne prawo powierza administrowanie dóbr kościoła proboszczowi, wspieranemu przez parafialną radę ekonomiczną (kanon 537). Istnienie rada fabryki koś- cioła jest bez wątpienia jednym z ważnych etapów w procesie kształtowania odpowiedzialności osób świeckich za własną świątynię i parafię.

Keywords: prayer; the development in prayer; the difficulty in prayer; the attitude of prayer; saint Urszula Ledóchowska

The prayer is a fundamental reality in the life of a Christian striving for holiness. This article presents the issue of prayer in the writings of Polish saint Urszula Ledóchowska. The Author on the basis of her writings is trying to answer the question: what conditions must be achieved to pray in the right way. At the beginning of the paper he presents a broad understanding of pray- er, which is primarily a kind of bridge between the temporality and eternity, between a man and a God. The heart of prayer is remaining in communion with God, which is made possible by the virtue of love. It the next part presents the basic difficulties linked with prayer, shows also an appropriate attitude for the process of prayer, such as: the internal focusing, the living faith, the perseverance, and the living in harmony with others. In the final part of the article discusses the basic characteristics of the saint Ursula’s prayer, like her devotion to the Agonizing Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Rev. Władysław Wilk was born on 17 February 1926 in Niechobrz. In 1947 he passed his school-leaving examination. He studied in Theological Seminary in Przemyśl. 22 June 1952 he was ordained a priest. He worked as a curate in Dubiecko (1952-1954) and Łańcut (1954-1958). 28 April 1958 he became an administrator of the parish of Lutcza and on 19-20 April 1961 passed his parish priest’s exam. In 1963, he was honoured with Expositorio Canonicali. In 1968, he was appointed as vice dean of Strzyżów, in 1973, received the privilege of wearing a rochet and manteletta, and in 1979 he was appointed as canon of the Collegiate Chapter in Brzozów.In Lutcza Rev. Władysław was known as a responsible priest committed to his pastoral work. He started building a new church dedicated to the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary and St. Joseph, which was achieved in the years 1957-1963, in spite of obstacles created by the communist authorities. He also restored the old wooden church built in the fifteenth century. He put particular emphasis on the catechetical work. In the opinion of superiors he was perceived very positively. As an administrator of the parish, Rev. Władysław Wilk was under the watchful eye of security bodies. In the years 1958-1983 he was repeatedly questioned by the Civic Militia of Jasło, Krosno, Rzeszow and Strzyżow. Rev. Władysław Wilk suddenly died on 4 January 1983, returning from a business visit to the Bishop’s Curia in Przemyśl. An autopsy revealed that the cause of death was liver tumor. The funeral was presided over by Bishop Ignacy Tokarczuk, the ordinary of Przemyśl. However, there are a lot of ambiguities connected with the death of Rev. Władysław Wilk. Many people still believe that the security apparatus directly contributed to it. Despite the passage of years, the memory of this priest is still alive and cultivated by the residents of Lutcza.
