The Contingency of Human Life and its Meaning: Mother Elżbieta Róża Czacka

Abstract

The article explores the meaning of suffering in human life based on the example of Mother Elżbieta Róża Czacka. Every person is a fragile and weak being. No one is ideal, perfect in all spheres of life, capable of undertaking unlimited challenges. The condition of being flawed and limited is therefore the condition of every human being. Disabled and sick people, those struggling with pain and difficulty therefore remind us of our human limitedness in a special way. Through their moral attitude, many of them teach us that weakness can be a creative force in human life. Mother Czacka, who found meaning in her suffering, is an example of a disabled person who devoted her life to others. She embraced her disability as a life task and vocation, a gift from God Himself.
