Summary/Abstract: The central theme of the teaching of Fr. Jerzy Popieluszko was to serve the truth. Zoliborz preacher was consistent in proclaiming the need for the presence of values in society, but most of all, in the life of every human being. Priest Jerzy noticed that the pursuit of truth is not only inscribed in human nature, but also in his vocation. The basis of social order and internal peace of man is the truth which liberates man from servitude and evil. Today, even it is becoming a current need for the presence of truth. Fr. Popieluszko preached that based on divine Revelation, the Christian is bound to give witness to the truth and that they belong to Christ, your life. Also sees the suffering that comes to experience the man when he wants to live and act in truth, as befits a Christian, but he was thus convinced of the value of suffering and need courageous witness to the truth. Today there is no shortage slavery of ideologies, which insidiously trying to enslave the modern man internally. Man is always required to defend fundamental values, and above all to give witness to the truth on the model of Jesus Christ. At any time you will need heroic witnesses to the truth, going out in defense of Christian values. He knew that Fr. Jerzy Popieluszko himself who does not deny the truth and Christ when he had to give his life for the truth.
