Bl. Fr. Jerzy Popiełuszko – martyr for faith – testimony in catechesis

Abstract

The Servant of God, Blessed Fr. Jerzy Popiełuszko, is a martyr not only for his faith, but also for the universal, timeless values that flow from it, such as: truth, love, human dignity, freedom, justice. These values constitute the method of Christian struggle with evil and were Fr. Jerzy’s way of transforming man and the world. The principles that this steadfast priest preached and lived are still relevant. For this reason, he is a wonderful model for young people, who can inspire them to act in accordance with their own conscience, regardless of the circumstances.
