The article describes the characteristic features of Cyprian Kamil Norwid’s spirituality on the basis of selected Letters from this writer. Norwid is a unique figure of the 19th century for Polish history and culture. The example of his spiritual life can inspire contemporary Christians. The discussed Letters indicate Norwid’s close relationship with God, his trust in Providence in life’s hardships and adversities and the conviction with which he proclaimed Christ and His Gospel. Norwid’s spiritual example helps us to properly read the contemporary „signs of the times”. Especially during the crisis caused, among others, by the coronavirus pandemic and progressive secularization, Norwid’s thoughts are also relevant today.
