Wraz z ich rozwojem i przemianami wymaga ono znajomości i interpretacji zarówno pojęcia wychowania, jak i rozumienia jego podstaw, istoty i prawidłowości . Wśród wielorakich koncepcji wychowania przedstawia się ono dzisiaj jako zadanie złożone, rozległe i pilne . Złożoność rzeczywistości niesie ryzyko utraty tego, co istotne, to znaczy formacji osoby ludzkiej w jej integral- ności, zwłaszcza w tym, co dotyczy wymiaru religijnego i duchowego . Za dzieło wychowania jednak, nawet jeśli jest ono podejmowane przez więcej podmiotów, odpowiedzialność spoczywa przede wszystkim na rodzicach i rodzinie . Ta odpo- wiedzialność realizuje się także w prawie wyboru przedszkola czy szkoły, które gwarantowałyby wychowanie zgodne z ich zasadami religijnymi i moralnymi1 . Rodzice, wychowawcy i nauczyciele stają przed zadaniem wyboru najlepszej drogi prowadzącej do pełnego rozwoju dzieci i młodzieży, począwszy od urodzenia, aż do przejęcia przez nich odpowiedzialności za swój osobisty rozwój i formację osobową . Pragną wykorzystać w tym celu jak najlepsze metody i środki . Wyda- wałoby się, że wraz z rozwojem myśli ludzkiej, w tym pedagogicznej, i postępem techniki, jej wytwory współcześnie w wieloraki sposób służą pełnemu rozwojowi osoby . Obserwujemy jednak zdecydowane „oderwanie idei postępu od osobowego doskonalenia się i kształcenia człowieka”2 . Czym zatem mogą kierować się rodzice i wychowawcy, stając wobec licznych propozycji teoretycznych i praktycznych rozwiązań w dziedzinie pedagogiki i edukacji? Jakie powinno być wychowanie? 1 Kongregacja do spraw Wychowania Katolickiego, List okólny do przewodniczących Konferen- cji Episkopatów na temat nauczania religii w szkole, w: J Poniewierski. (red ),. Służyć wzrastaniu w prawdzie i miłości, Wydawnictwo AA, Kraków 2009, s . 497 . 2 http://majorchangeacademy wordpress. com/2011/11/15/teorie-sie-zmieniaja-a-zaba-pozo. - staje-zaba [dostęp: 12 .09 .2014] . 10 Wstęp Optymalną drogą wpierania rozwoju człowieka do pełni jego dojrzałości jest wychowanie integralne . Jest ono oparte na koncepcji człowieka jako osoby, na której to koncepcji konsekwentnie budowana jest teoria i praktyka wychowania . Obejmuje ona wszystkie wymiary rozwoju człowieka: ludzkiego, duchowego, intelektualnego i zawodowego, uwzględniając całościową wizję osoby ludzkiej3 . Wychowanie ludzkie zmierza do tego, by wspierać wychowanka w budowaniu solidnej osobowości . Należy mu pomóc stawać się człowiekiem coraz bardziej wolnym, zdolnym panować nad sobą, dojrzałym uczuciowo, zrównoważonym, odpowiedzialnym, szlachetnym, na którego można zawsze liczyć, pragnącym i potrafiącym czynić dobro, umiejącym kochać, miłującym prawdę, mającym po- czucie sprawiedliwości, zdolnym do bezinteresowności, jednym słowem – pomóc mu coraz bardziej stawać się człowiekiem . Wychowanie w wymiarze duchowym polega na budowaniu i doskonaleniu kontaktu z Bogiem – źródłem wszelkiego dobra . Z jednej strony formacja ludzka ze swej natury otwiera się na formację duchową i w niej znajduje dopełnienie, z drugiej zaś formacja duchowa, kontakt z Panem Bogiem, pomaga realizować formację ludzką . Formacja intelektualna polega na przygotowaniu dziecka do samodzielnego i krytycznego myślenia, na wsparciu i pomocy w nabyciu zdolności oceniania . Formacja zawodowa jest widziana w perspektywie twórczego i dobroczynnego wykonywania zawodu4 . Integralność wychowania przejawia się w wielu jego wymiarach, odnoszących się do koncepcji człowieka w całej złożoności jego ludzkiej natury . Dotyczy ujmowania relacji i działań podmiotów wychowania – dziecka, rodziców i wy- chowawców – w odniesieniu do wszystkich wymiarów procesu wychowania i jego uwarunkowań zewnętrznych . Integralność ta przejawia się w: 1 .Całościowym ujmowaniu rzeczywistości samej osoby ludzkiej (cielesno- -duchowej): a) dziecka; b) rodzica, wychowawcy . 2 .Uwzględnianiu wszystkich wymiarów relacji osoby: a) indywidualnych: do Boga, drugiego człowieka, samego siebie; b) wspólnotowych: do rodziny, narodu, Kościoła; c) społecznych: środowisko lokalne, Ojczyzna, ludzkość . 3 .Stosunku osoby do świata: a) natury – dzieła stworzonego przez Boga; b) kultury – całości duchowego i materialnego dorobku społeczeństwa; 3 Por .

    2007-02-22,_SS_Benedictus_XVI,_Adhortatio_'Sacramentum_Caritatis' POST-SYNODAL APOSTOLIC EXHORTATION SACRAMENTUM CARITATIS OF THE HOLY FATHER BENEDICT XVI TO THE BISHOPS, CLERGY, CONSECRATED PERSONS AND THE LAY FAITHFUL ON THE EUCHARIST AS THE SOURCE AND SUMMIT OF THE CHURCH'S LIFE AND MISSION INTRODUCTION 1. The sacrament of charity (1), the Holy Eucharist is the gift that Jesus Christ makes of himself, thus revealing to us God's infinite love for every man and woman. This wondrous sacrament makes manifest that "greater" love which led him to "lay down his life for his friends" (Jn 15:13). Jesus did indeed love them "to the end" (Jn 13:1). In those words the Evangelist introduces Christ's act of immense humility: before dying for us on the Cross, he tied a towel around himself and washed the feet of his disciples. In the same way, Jesus continues, in the sacrament of the Eucharist, to love us "to the end," even to offering us his body and his blood. What amazement must the Apostles have felt in witnessing what the Lord did and said during that Supper! What wonder must the eucharistic mystery also awaken in our own hearts! The food of truth 2. In the sacrament of the altar, the Lord meets us, men and women created in God's image and likeness (cf. Gen 1:27), and becomes our companion along the way. In this sacrament, the Lord truly becomes food for us, to satisfy our hunger for truth and freedom. Since only the truth can make us free (cf.

  • Charitable Work of the Church in the Polish Lands in the Xix Century and Its Impact on Education
    Journal of Vasyl Stefanyk PrecarpathianCharitable National W Universityork of the Church in the Polish Lands in the XIX century… 129 http://journals.pnu.edu.ua Vol. 7, No. 1 (2020 ), 129 - 133 UDC 378(09)(477.4/7)37.014.543 doi: 10.15330/jpnu.7.1.129-133 CHARITABLE WORK OF THE CHURCH IN THE POLISH LANDS IN THE XIX CENTURY AND ITS IMPACT ON EDUCATION LESZEK AFTYKA, PIOTR MAZUR Abstract. The Catholic Church in the Polish lands in the XIX century has had numerous charity works. The charitable activities were seen as the task of God's commandment of love. The purpose of this activity was to support poor people in the form of satisfying basic material needs and achieving adequate personal development. The article discusses the most important forms of assistance provided by religious orders, as well as clerical and lay organizations. The author draws attention to the charity's impact on education and the formation of humanistic values in society. Many priests set up organisations that had such names as: “Star”, “Aurora”, “Fatherland”, “Rock”. Their main objective was to raise up education standards and stimulate patriotism and solidarity among young people. Therefore, cooperation between educational institutions, families, non- governmental organizations, volunteer movements, charitable foundations for the expansion of active charitable activities, and the creation of a humanistic society is required. Nowadays it is extremely important to revive philanthropy and altruism in every country. Currently, there are foundations, organizations aimed at carrying out charitable activities and attracting to the charity all who wish to serve the cause of raising Christian morality, culture, education, art, support of the poor.

So there is a permanent dialogue and we're close to each other in a new way, in a very deep way. The spiritual center of this hymn thus becomes a prelude to John's proclamation, "And the Word became flesh and lived among us" (John 1:14). We conclude remembering that the beginning of this second part of Psalm 131(132) has been habitually used by the Fathers of the Church to describe the Incarnation of the Word in the womb of the Blessed Virgin Mary. As early as St. Irenaeus, referring to Isaiah's prophecy concerning the virgin giving birth, explained, "The words, 'Listen, therefore, O house of David' (Isaiah 7:13) indicate that the eternal king that God had promised to David to rise up from 'the fruit of his womb,' an expression that indicates a pregnant virgin.

It left an indelible mark on the millions who came out to see him, as well as on his relations with the Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church that has been in communion with the Vatican See for just over 500 years. It was the 94th visit in the 24 years of the papacy of the Polish holy father, but one that his personal secretary called “a long held dream,” one which he had talked about for “11, 12, even 14 years.” In many ways it was a trip home. Although Pope John Paul II was not born in Ukraine, his Ukrainian mother was born outside of Drohobych. And while this was his first trip to Ukraine as the head of the Catholic Church, he had spent time in the western part of the country in his youth and had been stationed there during his military serv- ice. Nearly 3 million people, the faithful and the curious, saw the aging and frail AP/Alexander Zemlianichenko holy father during a youth rally and at Pope John Paul II and Cardinal Lubomyr Husar, primate of the Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church, bless the faithful upon four divine liturgies – twice celebrated in the pontiff’s arrival at the Lviv Hippodrome on Wednesday, June 27.

This shows the sacramental connection with the first and second part of your initiation into the Catholic Church-Baptism and First Eucharist. To stay with your baptismal name would demonstrate that you feel there has been a continual growth in your faith and you now wish to make this formal through Confirmation. 2. You may also choose the name of a person who inspires you or a saint's name. This would symbolize a new beginning in your faith life and a connection with that person or saint. This would be especially appropriate if you are now making a renewed commitment to your faith. Your commitment would be symbolized with the taking of a new name to show that you are in some ways a new person. This option of taking a new name is not to be used because you like the sound of the name, how it fits with your other names, or because it is the name of a nice friend or relative. In this case, the Bishop will say both your Baptismal Name and your Confirmation Saint name.
