Tomasz Młodzianowski

Tomasz Młodzianowski (Dąbrowa coat of arms; 21 December 1622 – 3 or 9 October 1686) was a Polish Jesuit, preacher and writer.

After his death, King John III Sobieski said: "The order of the Society has a great loss in this man."

He was buried in the church of saint Peter and Paul in Kraków.

The rest is collected in his Kazania i Homilie (Poznań 1681), with over 2,000 pages in folio in four volumes.

He used to avoid macaronic language, speak clearly, make the lecture interesting through concepts, explain abstract ideas to the audience (e.g. comparing the apostles to the MPs), include proverbs.

Portrait with Latin motto: For he is a chosen vessel unto Me, to bear My name before the Gentiles and kings, and the children of Israel; for I will shew him how great things he must suffer for My name's sake (Acts 9:15-16)
