RELIGIOUS AND SOCIAL CONTEXT OF JACQUES MARITAIN’S INTEGRAL PERSONALISM
Summary
The history of mankind is a still open approach to attempts concerning creation of different ties and interpersonal relations. Indeed, man is a socio-political being, involved in various concepts of governing. It is not always in favour of man, but for Christians it should establish civitas Dei – the kingdom of God – on the Earth.
This issue was thouroughly studied by Jacques Maritain. In his socio-political philosophy he stressed, following St. Thomas Aquinas, that politics should focus on a common good of all community members. The fundamental role of personalism, focusing on a man as a personal being, was underpinned by him. In his Integral Humanism a man was shown in dimensions of body and soul. Thanks to it every man, creating his life on the Earth and entering various human relations, is open for religion. By this a man conveys material goods into transcendent dimension and opens towards the spiritual world.

THE ANTHROPOLOGICAL ASPECT OF THE THEOLOGY OF THE SACRAMENT OF PENANCE AND RECONCILIATION
In our dissertation attention is concentrated on the sacrament of penance and reconciliation. The fundamental aim is to consider the anthropological dimension of this sacrament. The sacrament of penance, like all the sacraments, is a personal meeting between God and an individual person. Its intent and purpose is to restore that individual's relationship to God: that is, the community of life with Him, lost by sin. The sacrament is not only reconciliation with God, but also with the Church and with other people. Man is reconciled with himself, and what is more, with the whole world. The sacrament of penance and reconciliation is a precious gift given man by a God of Mercy, who is the Father of Mercy and the source of all forgiveness. The sacrament is also a challenge for a person to become totally involved in the process of internal conversion. It builds the identity and integrity of a human being. It allows an individual to find himself and his vocation to live the Divine Life. Finally, it remains the only obvious way of an individual's personal development, the aim of which is to reach human holiness. Our responsibility to freedom is also constantly strengthened by this sacrament.

Music of the new evangelisation and spiritual experience. Context, reality, challenges
Summary
Music has a great influence on human’s life, also when it comes to religion. It expresses the professed faith in accordance to the rule lex orandi lex credendi in a way that we can risk a statement lex orandi lex cantandi. It enforces mutual influence between the truths of the faith and music in general.
The vision of music in sacred space, also in the liturgical one, should be reexamined. It is connected with the change in the mentality of contemporary people. It does not mean copying pop music but it implies the ability to properly adapt the approach to music so that the participants of prayer meetings and liturgy are able to gain a deep experience of and to identify with the celebrations.
In any case, an appropriate musical, biblical and spiritual formation is necessary for those animating meetings and liturgy to have a sense of sacrum. It is this care for the experience of sacredness, originating from deep faith, that seems more important than sustaining of existing solutions.
One should take into account the work of evangelization, which aims at a personal meetings with Jesus Christ and at accepting of salvation offered by Him, in everything the Church does. Appropriate music and vocals actively aid the process of preaching the Gospel. A modern man expects spiritual and religious matters to be presented in modern ways. However, this does not mean giving up or denying of the legacy of previous ages. On the contrary, again in the two thousands years’ old history of the Church, there comes a necessity to adapt to the needs of contemporary times. Such methodology fits into the nature of the Gospel.

DER GESELLSCHAFTLICH-KULTURELLE KONTEXT DER GEGENWÄRTIGEN BEDROHUNG DER RELIGIÖSEN ERZIEHUNG IN DER FAMILIE.
Zusammenfassung
Der Beitrag der Familie am göttlichen Erlösungsplan beschränkt sich nicht nur auf ihre Teilhabe am schöpferischen Wirken Gottes. Vielmehr bildet die Familie das vollkommenste und natürlichste Umfeld menschlicher Erziehung. Die religiöse Erziehung in der Familie findet ihr Fundament, indem sie die ihr von Gott aufgetragene Mission erfüllt, indem sie zu einer tiefgehenden Gemeinschaft von Leben und Liebe wird. Die religiöse Erziehung in der Familie ist die Erfüllung und die Fortführung des schöpferischen Wirkens Gottes. Die Eltern, die aus Liebe und für die Liebe einem neuen Menschen das Leben schenken, übernehmen damit die Aufgabe, ihm die Fülle des menschlichen Lebens zu ermöglichen. Im vorliegenden Artikel wird die Frage nach der Bedrohung der religiösen Erziehung in der gegenwärtigen Familie gestellt, dabei wird im Besonderen ihr gesellschaftlich-kultureller Kontext aufgezeigt. Die Abhandlung zeigt zunächst Bedrohungen des Umfelds religiöser Erziehung in der Familie auf. Im Folgenden werden die ökonomische und die gesellschaftlich-moralische Krise, der Pluralismus sowie die Krise der Religion als solche thematisiert. Denn all dies beeinflusst unter anderem auch die stattfindenden Veränderungenin der gegenwärtigen Familie.
