Moral-ethic values of the Clan of Ostoja

By studying the history of the House of refuge for the last 800 years, you will notice some values ​​that have always been present in families Refuges and which constituted the strength of our House. The moral and ethical values ​​are the basis for further development and strong integration of the House of refuge.

'1. Christianity '

Ostoja coat of arms of the cross, which resembles the Christian values ​​referring to the man with free will and free mind, tolerant to diversity, progressive, sensitive to the suffering of another human being. Built on Christian values ​​is the power of Europe. The destruction of these values ​​is to destroy the 'our heritage and diversity' .

'2. Education, training the mind free '

Starting from the genius Refuges Stibor of Stiboricz, Nicholas Błociszewskiego or 'Ścibor of Poniec' in the Middle Ages, it is clear stress in families Refuges for good education of the younger generation which resulted in quite quickly. Refuges weapon not won for Polish Malbork and thought, intellect, tactics and diplomacy.

'3. Loyalty and unity '

Unity has always been and is the strength. Unity is built on shared values ​​that unite. Many times, Refuges were connected so that together constitute the strength of the House, helping less influential members of the House. One for all and all for one. Loyalty to his Clan and Polish is well illustrated in the example of Nicholas Refuges Bydgoszcz, who preferred to spend his great good in Slovakia and the title of baron for Polish affairs in the Battle of Grunwald. Also, the character ' Casper Karliński' and the defense of Olsztyn shows steadfast attitude and loyalty, which has always been part of the IPA.

'4. Humanism - in its full sense '

Ostojczycy churches built in the thirteenth century, erected temples of faith. But not only that, also built Ostojczycy support centers for the sick, poor and old. Such works are known both in Slovakia Ścibor with Beckova in the fifteenth century, as well as in Poland, from the Middle Ages us closer. Over the centuries, our tradition has always been a Caritas because the refuge was and is invariably - mate, lifting, supporting, accepting, without regard for race, religion, guilt, relationship. Cardinal Adam Kozłowiecki attitude that Karoli Uniechowskiej 'well represents security means in this context.

'5. Morale and ethics'

The refuge has always been a mainstay of Polish - steadfast as Hussars. This is due to the morale Husarii defended Polish morale and when it is gone, his lack of (among other reasons) led to the partition of the Republic. That is the basis of existence of law not only society but also the environment. It is an integral part of humanism, which recognizes the value, dignity and autonomy of each individual and their inalienable right to self-realization in the society. Cdr. cf. Waclaw Krzywiec worthily represent them security in this matter, at the same time reminding us of the attitude of other Poles in the 'Conspiracy commanders' for this an extremely important value.

'6. Wisdom and prudence '

Refuges genius basis over the centuries, independent of the era. Just to quote the great figures 'Michael Sendivogius' , Kazimierz Siemienowicz Adam Ostaszewski, John Czeczot, Theophilus Wojciech Ostaszewski, Mieczyslaw Karłowicz, many professors at the Jagiellonian University, Kazimierz Zagorski, Joseph Stanislaw Ostoja-Kotkowski and many other outstanding Ostojczyków to understand the power of science, have a free mind and wisdom flowing. Therefore, Dr. John Ciechanowicz described as among the geniuses security means.

'7. Tolerance and pluralism '

Respect for the right of every man to his own views, beliefs and preferences. In terms of tolerance and pluralism, the character 'Ignatius Ścibor-Marchockiego 'is notable. Not without reason was established in Ukraine museum in his memory, he was like many Ostojczyków promoter of these ideas, which led to the Serene Republic.

'8. Justice '

The refuge was over the centuries, not only but also the mainstay of Polish Righteous Among the righteous. Hundreds Ostojczyków piastowało since the Middle Ages provincial governors offices, castellans, governors and judges have the right to judge. Numerous reports cite the wisdom and justice, the rule of Refuges in Poland, Lithuania and Belarus and even in Transylvania and Slovakia (Hungary). The law is the backbone of society, and when it does not work, get hurt which leads to the collapse of morality. Let the character 'Nicholas Szarlejskiego' with Sciborzyce will be a good example for all.

'9. Freedom '

For most Ostojczyków as well as for many Poles, freedom was regarded as the highest value, higher than his own life. Without such an attitude, Poland not only free but would not be likely to have long existed. In this respect, one could cite hundreds and thousands of securities outstanding figures in the IPA, who fought and gave their lives so that we live as we do today, people will in a free Poland. It is difficult to replace or distinguish any form because it is not a place for endless quoting Ostojczyków list.

'10. Patriotism '

Examples of patriotism in the IPA is so much that you can not write about a book a book. Patriotism is not only dedication but working for the good of our society. CVs of the 'Emmy' and Maria Refuges Ostaszewskis speak for themselves. Just as dozens of memoirs and diaries of our ancestors, which can not be mentioned here. Patriotism is based on a sense of social ties, the cultural community and solidarity with their own people and the community, is related to the protection of their cultural heritage. Patriotism is the opposite of chauvinism and nationalism as part of its essence is respect for other peoples and cultures. Not respecting others do not have the right to expect respect for each othe
