Means of the sanctity of laity based on writings of Bishop Czesław Domin in years 1992-1996

Summary/Abstract: Holiness is a goal that God sets for every Christian. To achieve this goal, man uses the means present in the Church. Many scientific publications and spiritual guides have already been written on this subject, including Zarys ascetyki by Jan Bochenek, Modlitwa i świętość, The New Man by Thomas Merton, The Imitation of Christ by Thomas à Kempis or Teologia życia wewnętrznego ludzi świeckich by Eugeniusz Weron. This paper presents the teachings of Bishop Czesław Domin, who in many of his speeches dealt with the subject of the means of developing holiness. The comparative-analytical method was applied for working out the text. Among the means of developing holiness, Bishop Domin distinguishes prayer, sacramental life, the fight against evil and worship. In his speeches, he emphasizes the value of prayer, stating that its effectiveness should not be doubted, and in a conversation with God, one must show an almost insistent attitude. Prayer reaches its fullness in the sacraments. He also notes that an important means of developing holiness is the fight against evil, which man is to undertake through the word of God, prayer and fasting. The last help in the pursuit of excellence is the worship of Divine Mercy, Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary and St. Archangel Michael. The Bishop’s words, very simple and wise at the same time, are an invaluable help in man’s pursuit of holiness.
