Współczesna duchowość katolicka w ujęciu ks. Franciszka Blachnickiego. Konteksty, komponenty, aktualność

Abstract

Fr. Franciszek Blachnicki put the teaching of the Second Vatican Council into practice. Rooted in his personal conversion (experience of the living Jesus), the formation of the baptized he proposed was based on the example of the catechumenate and took the form of the Light-Life Movement, which offers a way of spiritual growth still followed by many groups of believers. The work of Fr. Blachnicki may be an inspiration for the universal Church, especially with respect to the significance of a personal spiritual encounter with the risen Jesus, inner life being set in active participation in the liturgy, personal prayer based on the Bible, commitment to a small community of growth, and service in various areas of the Church’s life, particularly evangelization. It is therefore worthwhile to discover the depth of the spiritual and pastoral heritage of Fr. Blachnicki. His guidelines may be very helpful in responding to the challenges the Church is facing now.
