Summary/Abstract: Due to the multifaceted character of Stefan Wyszyński’s personalist concept, this article focuses on the Christian vision of involvement in socio-economic life. In this context, several important questions arise: is the idea of total commitment to socio-economic life feasible in the Christian life? Is Christianity compatible with effective socio-economic activity? The above questions are essential in the era of modern civilization changes. Moreover, attention was drawn to how personalism can constitute the basis for shaping the attitude of involvement in worldly reality, especially concerning the contemporary vision of active participation in social life and the broadly understood economy. The analysis of these issues relates to the realities of Christian life inscribed in the creative and salvation perspective. In this sense, creative activity in the socio-economic dimension is perceived in the context of realizing the fullness of the human personality in the temporal and supernatural dimensions. It allows the human person to join the dynamics of modern-day socio-economic changes but also allows a person to discover the right place in the changing realities of the contemporary world.
