Abstract
Blessed Dorothy of Montau, a well-known Pomeranian saint born in Matowy Wielkie (Montau) on 25 January 1347, is an example of an outstanding sanctity of life. At the age of 17 she gets married. The sacrament of matrimony is to bring her closer to the perfection of life. What gives us a plenty of information on this future hermit are the three fundamental Latin works: “The Life of Dorothy of Montau”, “Dorothy of Montau’s Septililium (1347–1394)” and “The Book of Saints” by Johannes of Marienwerder. The relevance of her blessed life for the 21st – entury people is especially seen in three areas: the love of one’s neighbour, the prayer and the Eucharist. She practices the commandment of love in many acts of charity for the poor. The prayer – a meeting with God – accompanies Dorothy through whole her life. However, the Eucharist is of paramount importance to her and she strives to receive the Holy Communion frequently. Without doubt, Blessed Dorothy is an example of how to achieve sanctity in our lives.
