Colonel Łukasz Ciepliński (1913–1951) as a Personal Pattern in the Christian Formation of Men. A Study Based on His Prison Grips

Abstract

The article presents the personality and spirituality of the Polish soldier, Colonel Łukasz Ciepliński (1913–1951), as a personal role model for contemporary men. The main source is secret messages written by him from a prison cell, which are an extremely valuable document about this character. The article presents the personality and male characteristics of a Polish officer: internal integration, maturity, bravery, care for others. There are also signs of the great respect he had for family values, for he was himself a husband and father. Another issue is his Christian spirituality: in suffering, like many prominent figures of the Church, he shows an extraordinary increase in theological virtues (faith, hope and love) as well as union with Christ and readiness for martyrdom.
