Maryjny wymiar nauczania prymasa Stefana Wyszyńskiego
Marian dimension of the teaching of Primate Stefan Wyszyński

Summary/Abstract: The Marian character of the Primate of the Millennium was due to his personal experiences, as well as to the characteristic religiousness of the Polish nation over the centuries. In his relation to the Mother of Jesus Christ, one can distinguish the dimension of systematic reflection of faith, theological, as well as pastoral, more practical, resulting from the tasks that the Primate of Poland was responsible for in connection with his service. Stefan Wyszyński was fascinated by the humility and simplicity of the Immaculate Virgin, which, if only because of this privilege, is raised by God to all creatures. The Primate wanted to understand and realize – like the Immaculate Virgin – his calling. Not in haughty or any superiority, but in Mary’s humility and total trust in meeting the epoch-making challenges that faced him when the communist ideology was confronted with the Catholic Church in Poland. Therefore, the Marian vanity of the primate should be described as very personal but also very national. Not in the sense of exclusivity, any nationalist influences, but of the nature of Marian religiosity proper to Poland. In addition, Marianism focused on freedom issues, especially those that came to the fore in the time of the cardinal and found its concretization and development in the symbolism of Jasna Gora (Jasna Góra) – Our Lady of Czestochowa (Częstochowa).
