Fr. Franciszek Blachnicki should be considered a scholar who is a witness. A witness is a person in whom there is complete harmony between what he thinks, what he says and how he lives. Especially today, when we notice the decline of educational authorities, the testimony of life is more important than the knowledge that the educator also transmits.
These reflections are entitled: Education of a Mature Christian as a New Man in Christ according to Fr. Franciszek Blachnicki. In his book Homo novus (Lublin, 2002), Professor Antoni Jozafat Nowak says that man should allow Christ to educate (mold) him in the image of God as inscribed in the structures of the human person in the fact of creation. Why Christ? Saint John writes: “No one has ever seen God: the only Son [Jesus, fn. IW], who is in the bosom of the Father, he has made Him known” (John 1:18). This means that Christ has the best chance of molding man in the image of God.
The education of a mature Christian is discussed in great detail in Fr. Blachnicki’s publications. In this article, we will focus only on the methods and aids in raising a new person, on his personality and on personal role models for the new man.
