The article presents some “linguistic” thoughts of Janusz Pasierb (1929 – 1993), contemporary Polish theologian, thinker, art historian, poet, and also – what is especially significant – a catholic priest, considered to be a wonderful preacher. Pasierb, though he was not strictly a linguist, many times paid attention to the necessity of noticing “new religious language needs”. He treated research on this issue very seriously, placing it in a wider context – in service to the Word, in the mission of continuous communion with the Word in all aspects of his life and all his activities. For him, the greatest and the most important Word was the God’s Word, while the most astonishing and touching feeling was foretelling It. Pasierb was declaring for the renewal of religious language and intensifying it to a greater degree with symbolism, imagery and metaphors. In his belief, it would
be impossible to talk about complete and mature reading of “time signs” by the Church without the necessary transformation in the style of priests’ words, without their personal engagement in contact with concrete human being, together with giving the testimony of faith.
