The elaboration is an analysis of the contents taken from the songs of Lent included in the 36th edition of the Church Songbook by priest J. Siedlecki. The Church Songbook which in this publication was one of the main sources, is the most widespread collection of liturgical songs in Polish folk piety. The subject of the work pointed to the interpretations of the songs of Lent, which in the Church Songbook are a significant part, which indicates the large wealth of works devoted to this period during the church year. The main issues addressed in this study were reconciliation and justification. These topics, which find their source in the texts of the Holy Bible, deal in particular with the fields of dogmatic and fundamental theology. The issue of justifying a sinful man has been portrayed. The justification took place in the Paschal event of Jesus Christ, who died and rose again to save mankind from the slavery of evil, sin and death. Man has access to grace of justification by the power of Christ's work and faith in his name. In this God's life, a man who does good deeds also deserves eternal life. The merit, although it is the work of man, ultimately comes from God's grace, whose action is primary and takes place out of Godʼs inspiration. From God's grace, man is also included in the mission of proclaiming the Gospel, because it is Godʼs will that all be redeemed.
Liturgia Środy Popielcowej rozpoczyna czas Wielkiego Postu i zaprasza do wkroczenia na drogę wewnętrznej przemiany. W tym artykule, wychodząc od chrześcijańskiego rozumienia pojęcia nawrócenia, dochodzimy do praktycznych spostrzeżeń, że czas Czterdziestnicy paschalnej, a szczególnie liturgia Popielca wzywa człowieka do reorganizacji swojego życia i skierowania go ku Bogu. W szczególny sposób przypominają o tym słowa Zbawiciela: „Nawracajcie się i wierzcie w Ewangelię” (Mk 1, 15), które obrzędy Środy Popielcowej wykorzystują podczas posypania głów popiołem. Człowiek przez całe swoje ziemskie życie poddany jest nieustannej walce między dobrem a złem. Z tego też względu każdy akt pokuty jest zawsze niedoskonały i wymaga nieustannego ponawiania. Nadzieją dla chrześcijanina jest to, że kruchość życia i słaba kondycja moralna spotykają się z przebaczeniem i wielkim miłosierdziem Boga.

The Liturgy of Ash Wednesday begins the time of Lent and invites the faithful to enter the path of inner change. In this article, starting from the Christian understanding of the concept of conversion, we come to practical observations that the Paschal time, especially the liturgy of Ash Wednesday, calls man to reorganize his life and direct it to God. This is especially remembered in the words of the Saviour: „Repent and believe in the Gospel” (Mk 1:15), which the rites of Ash Wednesday use when heads are sprinkled with ash. Throughout his entire earthly life, man is subject to a constant struggle between good and evil. For this reason, every act of penance is always imperfect and requires constant renewal. The hope for the Christian is that the fragility of life and the weakness of the human moral condition meet with forgiveness and God’s great mercy.
