Summary/Abstract: The upcoming beatification date of the Primate of Poland, Fr. Stefan Cardinal Wyszyński becomes an excellent opportunity to bring closer not only his biography, but also extremely rich social teaching. By reference to the writings of Tadeusz Nowacki and Stefan Wyszyński, I attempt to compare their concepts and views on the matter. My considerations are delivered in three points. In the first point, relating to philosophy of history I reconstruct the idea of Nowacki on the development of work as a power creating a human and the reality around him. The second point presents Wyszyński's views that relate human work to God's intervention/activity/ work. On that basis I proceed in the third part to the comparison of seemingly similar concepts of homo creator and “child of God.”
