Summary/Abstract: The article presents the personality and spirituality of a Polish soldier, Colonel Łukasz Ciepliński (1913–1951), as a personal role model for contemporary men. The main sources are his secret messages written from a prison cell, which are extremely valuable docu- ments about this character. The article presents the personality and male characteristics of this Polish officer: internal unity, maturity, courage, and care for others. There are also signs of his profound respect for family values, since he was a husband and father. Another issue is his Chris- tian spirituality: in suffering, like many prominent figures of the Church, he shows an extraordi- nary increase in theological virtues (faith, hope and love) as well as union with Christ and readi- ness for martyrdom.
