The dialectic of fatherhood in the perspective of reconciliation

The article is an attempt to interpret the Radiation of fatherhood, recognized by the author as one of the most important literary works of Karol Wojtyła. The analyses were focused on the issue of maturation to fatherhood understood on the one hand as a gift for the child, on the other as a call and vocation for the father. Adam’s escape from fatherhood is shown as guilt, causing a split into a mutual relationship and causing Monica’s wound, requiring healing through a deep reconciliation that  restores harmony.
