Summary/Abstract: The poetry of Janusz St. Pasierb is an interesting and unique work. This poem is inspired at the same time by the Biblia and the observation of everyday life. The analysis of the issue of suffering and death appears quite often in the author's work. Pasierb shows death not as the end of human life but as the transition to a fuller and truer life. The poet does not forget human pain, however, he expresses that this circumstance like death is a privileged moment to affirm the hope of eternal life. The important element of the world view in Pasierb's poetry is the belief that everyday life is passive and short. Janusz Pasierb is the priest and his priesthood will certainly have its depth in his poetic work even though he has no explicit reference when it comes to the priestly function. Pasierb's poetry is far from moralism and despair. The poems concerning the theme of suffering and death are characterized by certainty and peace and also by a certain humor founded on the certainty of the existence of the most beautiful reality beyond.
