Abstract

Blessed Jerzy Matulewicz, created an original conception of Christian formation, irrespective of age and education level. It was addressed to his renewed Congregation of Marian Fathers, and thus, indirectly, to the laypersons among whom they were to work. Basically, it consisted in attaining the unity of body, mind, and spirit. To this end, he envisaged a combination of the Marian and the Pauline charisma, spirituality and apostolate, simplicity and the radicalism of the Gospel, love and commitment. In this way, a new man (homo Dei) comes into existence, whose desire is to see God (visio Dei). This aim may be achieved through sanctifying grace and asceticism. Without this spiritual work assisted by God’s grace it is impossible to be pleasing to God, that is to become a saint.
