- The life of Wanda Malczewska provides a perfect example of how a life of contemplation, or vita contemplativa, can be harmoniously combined with one of social action, or vita activa. This distinguished Polish mystic, born in Radom in 1822, always managed to reconcile prayer and personal communion with God with her work on behalf of others. Malczewska was both an ardent Christian and a patriot. Her love of God and of her neighbours impelled her to perform acts of mercy on a large scale, bringing relief to those in need, and in this work she was tireless: she taught children and teens, with a view towards their future; she gave financial help to those who couldn’t afford schooling; she cared for and supported the broken in spirit; she instructed the unskilled; she acted as mediator, reconciling embittered married couples and feuding neighbours. In a word – she was an extraordinary character, completely devoted to serving God and her fellows. She lived in times that were difficult for Poland and the Polish people, when their country had been partitioned. This fact further hindered the many difficult tasks she had set herself, for the occupying powers introduced various restrictions aimed at weakening or eliminating Polish culture. At the time of her death in 1896, Wanda Malczewska was already popularly considered to be a saint. Efforts to have her so declared officially were commenced in 1924 by Father Grzegorz Augustynik, who had known Malczewska personally and was convinced of her saintliness. On 26 June 2006, Pope Benedict XVI authorised the promulgation of a decree on the heroic virtues of Servant of God Wanda Malczewska. This was an important decision in light of the efforts being made to bring the process of beatification of this exceptional person to a fruitful conclusion.
