Mazovia was one of the important points on the national path of faith as well as on the path of awakening awareness of a free and responsible human being who makes history on a basis of the law and morality of the Ten Commandments. Primate Stefan Wyszyński many times visited Płock. He delivered sermons which, as biblical grain, were to fall on the soil of human hearts and bear fruits. Cardinal Wyszyński came to Płock for the first time as the primate of Poland at the end of 1961 to participate in a funeral of the bishop of Płock Tadeusz Paweł Zakrzewski (+26.11.1961). In the next years, he has been returning to the historical capital of Mazovia many times. On February 4, 1962, the Primate consecrated bishop Jan Wosiński in the Płock Cathedral. Furthermore, the Primate took part in solemn celebrations of Millenium in Płock ( November 12-13, 1966). Afterwards, he delivered a sermon in the Płock Catherdal on 50th anniversary of the Order of Sisters of Our Lord Jesus Christ’s Passion. Most importantly, the Primate participated in a solemn festivity of 900th anniversary of the Płock Diocese (on Sunday, June 1st, 1975). A message of the Cardinal Wyszyński’s words and sermons delivered in Płock was in full accordance with Saint Pope John Paul II’s speech given on June 7th, 1991, during his visit in Płock: “Płock is deeply rooted in the Polish history and in the history of the Church”. By these words the Pope highlighted a role of the city of Płock as the capital of Mazovia, in the history of Poland. Accordingly, Primate Stefan Wyszyński was highlighting a high position of Płock in supporting the State and the Church. In his speeches, he pointed out important figures to narrate about timeless values.
