CURA PASTORALIS IN THE LIGHT OF A PASTORAL ECCLESIOLOGY OF FATHER FRANCISZEK BLACHNICKI
On 21st of November 2004 is 40 anniversary of announcing a dogmatic konstitution about Church Lumen gen-tium, which endeepening the reflection of Church mistery shows at the same time a base of aftercouncil conception of religious service. It implicates at the same time new understanding of meaning "service", more often expressed by latin cura pastoralis instead of cura animarum. This is the way as father Blachnicki understood religious service. He in his scientifical work and charizmatical intuition undobtfuly foreheaded his epoch, becoming a special kind of prophetic lumen of assimilation and realization of teaching Vaticanum II.
Fr. Blachnicki endeepening ecclesilogy of Vaticanum II and works of contemprorary to him theologists discove-red that an expression koinonia, shows as one of accepting in ecclesiology a very rich reality under the name "Church". That "new picture of Church" became so precious, as it could become a leading picture for pastoral the-ology and religious service, expressing at the same time purpose, subject, aims and methods cura pastoralis of Church. Basing on new vision of Church, the autor of ecclesiological deduction of pastoral theology formulated a principle in a way of acting in the Church: "Church salvation intercession (means religious service), should be cele-brated in this purpuse and in this way to realisation selfgiving God in Christ in word, sacrament and to condition free receiving in together giving in Holy Spirit through faith and love, for personification the community in vertical (with God) and horisontal (with brothers) in visual and effective sign of eucharistic gathering, and a local community in unity with common Church".
Analising theological - pastoral work of fr. Blachnicki, one can state that he reviewed and improved till the end of his life ecclesiological conception of pastoral theology, verifing at the same time his thoughts in practice in Light - Life Movement of a living Church as its founder. He has even suggested a neccessity of creating pneumatological - Christological - ecclesiological tractat of pastoral theology, where a pneumatological vision of Church would be appreciated. That is why one of servant of God suggestion was a proposal to go from service to evangelization. He named it a Copernican turn. In that state it is possible to lead a whole and organic conception cura pastoralis, under-stood as a proccess of building a Church in local community. Reality of Church starts from evangelisation, which iniciates liberation proccesses of people and given environment. Next step is to endeep - by catechumenal formation - to life in ecclesial community (martyria, leiturgia, diakonia). That is why a main conclusion coming from the fact that Church realised in concret, local communities is for fr. Blachnicki a postulate to rebuild a whole religious servi-ce so it would serve the formation of basic communities of christian life in parishes. So it is neccessary to leadin a model of parishal community. To solve this dilemma; how to lead a model of postcouncil parish in life as one cannot build a living community without existing adult ecclessiological communities, the founder of Light - Life Movement showed a part and a chance in contemprorary life for different movements based on a whole and catechumenal for-mation. Fr. Blachnicki realised at the same time that composing model of realisation a parish as a community in Light - Life Movement has a fundamental influence on a style of work and priests life.

THE PRESBYTERIAT IN SERVICE OF A COMMUNION IN LIGHT OF THE POST-COUNCIL TEACHINGS OF THE CHURCH.
Summary
Contemporary ecclesiology postulates: „the Church as communion might be more clearly understood and concretely incorporated into life” (The Final Report of the Extraordinary Synod). This idea should pervade all actions of presbyters and influence a new style of priesthood. This is confirmed both by post-council teaching of the Church and the teaching of the Church in Poland. It was particularly developed in a post-synodal exhortation Pastores Dabo Vobis (1992) in which John Paul II emphasised that „the ecclesiology of communion becomes decisive for understanding the identity of the priest, his essential dignity, and his vocation and mission”. Other documents of Magisterium Ecclesiae followed this direction. Three documents of the Congregation for the Clergy deserve special attention: Directory on the Ministry and Life of Priests (1994), a letter The Priest and the Third Christian Millennium, Teacher of the Word, Minister of the Sacraments and Leader of the Community (1999) and an instruction The Priest, Pastor and Leader of the Parish Community (2002). Among Polish documents there are two written by the Second Polish Plenary Synod that deserve special attention: Needs and Tasks of a New Evangelisation at the Break of the Second and the Third Christian Millennium and Priesthood and Consecrated Life as Community of Life and Ministry with Christ. The documents emphasise that a priest should always remember that he „sanctifies himself by his care for a community which had been entrusted to him. This care should be manifested in being with a community and in a community”. Therefore the synod suggests that „in nominating parish priests one should take into account not so much and not only seniority and achievements but practical pastoral skills, especially the ability of team-work and a social sensitivity”.

"DAS SYSTEM DER EVANGELISIERENDEN ZELLEN IN DER PFARREI" - EINE MÖGLICHKEIT ZU EINER ERNEUERTEN PFARREI

DEPOSITAIRE ET MEDIATEUR DE L'ESPRIT: LA MISSION DE L'ÉGLISE ET DU CHRETIEN D'APRES LES CATECHESES DU SERVITEUR DE DIEU JEAN PAUL II "LE SAINT-ESPRIT DANS LA VIE INTERIEURE DE L'HOMME"
Dans ses catéchèses "Le Saint-Esprit dans la vie intérieure de l'homme" le serviteur de Dieu Jean Paul II présente l'importance de l'action de l'Esprit Saint en faveur de l'homme. Selon Lui il s'agit d'un mystère très riche. Parmi ses traits essentiels il faut compter le fait que l'Esprit habite l'homme d'une manière active et efficace. En vertu de cette grâce le chrétien devient dépositaire et médiateur du Saint-Esprit: il reçoit le salut lui-même et participe à ce mystère en faveur des autres. Ainsi le Souffle de Dieu mène vers la plénitude de la vie dans l'éternité et enrichit ceux qui sont en train d'être sauvés en les remplissant de ses dons divers et nombreux. Parmi ces dons, qui sont tous constitutifs pour le salut, le serviteur de Dieu Jean Paul II présente d'une manière particulière: la prière, la foi, l'amour, la paix, la joie et le courage chrétien dont l'enchainement donne une caractéristique profonde et en même temps fort impressionnante de l'action de l'Esprit, de la spiritualité chrétienne, de la rencontre entre Dieu et l'homme.
