CALLING FOR THE RESPECT BASIC RIGHTS. MASS ST BEHIND THE HOMELAND AT THE CHURCH ST STANISLAW KOSTKA IN WARSAW – 28 AUGUST 1983

Summary/Abstract: Each of the Masses for the homeland that blessed Fr. Jerzy Popiełuszko celebrated in St. Stanisław Kostka Church in Warsaw in the years 1982-1984, wasdevoted to a given topic. The purpose of this article is to present the messageof the patriotic service of August 28, 1983. This liturgy was celebrated a fewdays before the anniversary of the so-called of the August agreements in 1980and the creation of NSZZ “Solidarność”. That is why this was the theme of theMass for the Homeland, already contained in the introduction to the Eucharist by blessed Fr. Jerzy. In his sermon, the martyr of communism referred tocontemporary events and presented successively the basic values of man andsociety: truth, freedom, justice and solidarity. It was in their implementation,in accordance with the Christian religion, that he saw the foundation for theproper development of humanity, the Nation and aspirations for real independence. These values during the enslavement of communist Poland after1945 were denied by the authorities, especially during martial law. That is whythe teaching of Fr. Popiełuszko was a cry for respect for fundamental rights,which he emphatically showed, also referring to implementation in everydaylife. Complementing the message of the Holy Mass for the homeland there wasartistic decoration in the temple’s presbytery, as well as artistic setting.
