Abstract

Christianity throughout a history survived many doctrinal crises, and even though it exists for over two thousand years. A major aspect of the crisis is also atheism. There is a lack of elementary thirst for God, which recently becomes the biggest issue for the faith. The whole Europe is today called to stand on God’s side. Cardinal August Hlond believed that there would be a great triumph of the Heart of Our Lady, after which the Savior will reign over the world through Poland. „Poland is to stand at the head of Mary unification of nations.” What is important here is the cult of Our Lady of sanctuary at Jasna Góra. The chosen nation is also Poland. Poland is Marian since the beginning of Christianity in this area. All Polish Saints distinguished themselves by a special devotion to Our Lady. Polish nation obedient to the will of the Saviour is called to the priesthood for the religious rebirth of humanity. The victory has always come through Mary. Renewal program is included in the Jasna Góra Vows to Our Lady by Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński. In the wake of Cardinal Wyszyński went Karol Wojtyla, who consciously stood guard value.
