The pontificate of Pope Francis is marked by the mystery of Divine mercy and its implementation. The Pope draws this truth from the Bible, testimonies of saints and the modern world, that is eager for mercy. Being concerned about the spiritual condition of believers, he calls the Church a “field hospital”, emphasizing its mission and takes. He wants to help modern man to reach God and read his calling. The announcement of the Extraordinary Year of Mercy serves this purpose, in which Pope Francis encourages believers to get to know better and accept the gift of mercy in their lives and to share it with needy brothers, especially the poor and the suffering. As part of the Year of Mercy, he proposes various pastoral initiatives, but above all, he reminds us to reconcile with God in the sacrament of penance and reconciliation and to receive an indulgence. The Pope asks everyone to be interested in this unique event because we all are responsible for each other. This is supported by the gospel image of the merciful God, who brings power to the weakest and conveys the hope that nobody is alone.

Pontyfikat papieża Franciszka jest naznaczony tajemnicą miłosierdzia i wcielaniem jej w życie. Prawdę tę czerpie z Biblii, świadectwa świętych oraz współczesnego świata. Zatroskany o duchową kondycję wierzących nazywa Kościół „szpitalem polowym”, podkreślając jego misję i zadania. Chce pomóc współczesnemu człowiekowi w dotarciu do Boga i odczytania przez niego swego powołania. Służy temu ogłoszenie Nadzwyczajnego Roku Miłosierdzia, w którym zachęca wierzących, by potrafili lepiej poznać i przyjąć dar miłosierdzia do swego życia oraz podzielić się nim z potrzebującymi braćmi, szczególnie z ubogimi i cierpiącymi. W ramach Roku Miłosierdzia proponuje różnorodne inicjatywy duszpasterskie, ale przede wszystkim przypomina, by pojednać się z Bogiem w sakramencie pokuty i pojednania oraz dostąpić odpustu. Papież prosi, aby tym wydarzeniem zainteresowali się wszyscy, gdyż jedni są współodpowiedzialni za drugich. Służy temu ewangeliczny obraz miłosiernego Boga, który przynosi moc najsłabszym i przekazuje nadzieję, że nikt nie jest sam.
The theology of the nation is a section of theology, that describes its histo-ry in the light of Christian faith. Its essence consists in appealing both to God and to the activity of the nation in the world as Christian witness. Theology of a na-tion grows out of the event of baptism, which influences the morality of society, politics, social issues, culture and economy. Baptism is the foundation of national identity and encourages the construction of a world in which Christian values are taken into account. Theology of the Polish nation was developed the mainly during the time of the „partitions”, when Poland ceased to exist as an independent state. In spite of this circumstance, the nation survived, thanks to its faith in God and its wil-lingness to cooperate effectively with him in order to regain his independence. The Mother of Jesus, who was named Queen of Poland, who taught Poles the love of the homeland and reconciliation of her children, was an aid to the oppressed nation.During the partitions, a valuable role in regaining the independence by Poland was played by the artists, who were interpreting the history of Poland in the light of the Bible and its message. In this way, they created a spark of hope, so that the overwhelming darkness that fell on the nation do not obscure the pursuit of freedom. In the 20th century, when the nation experienced occupation – first, German, and then Soviet – the Poles were given great spiritual leaders: Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński and John Paul II are an example of wisdom and courage in le-ading the nation towards independence.The experience of Poland confirms that in the nation the most important is the spirit that gives its inhabitants strength and power. When the nation calls on God, he will endure the most painful torments. The strength of the spirit guaran-tees the spiritual development of the community, stimulates action and releases hope for a better future. In modern times, the Polish nation finds it in the message of God's mercy.
