Szczęśliwy Oblubieniec Maryi. Święty Józef w kazaniach Szymona Starowolskiego i Tomasza Młodzianowskiego

Abstract

The aim of this article is to show which ways of interpretation refer to two famous and prominent preachers of the Baroque period – Szymon Starowolski and Tomasz Młodzianowski, who devoted their church orations to St. Joseph. Both refer to well-known and established in traditional motifs and threads, which were not only recalled but also interpreted according to the technique of constructing sermons. In the preacher’s narratives, Joseph is a pious and just man, prudent, living in purity, whose life will be elevated and transferred into the realm of mystery. Predicants show the figure of Joseph primarily as a participant in the mystery of salvation.
