The work is engaged in research, whether seriously ill and dying have in their suffering a mission. The theoretical part process knowledges especially of Catholic theology, plus the view of psychology and personal experiences in helping workers and volunteers from hospice care. The practical part deals with the analysis of qualitative research in a sample population of the Czech Republic. The comparative part compares results of the theoretical part with the practical part, analyzes the similarities and differences and examines what it means for pastoral work. After the evaluation is outlined, how could the pastoral work capacitate seriously ill and dying in the acceptance of their mission in suffering. The result of this work is the finding that the majority of a sample of Czech respondents (56 %) of the total 128 respondents - mission of seriously ill and dying sees, 10 % do not knows, 14 % never thought about it and 20 % sees any mission. The most important task, according to Catholic theology is {\clq}qreconciliation with himself, with others and with God.`` Practical research showed that the greatest sense of the suffering of seriously ill and dying brings benefit for surrounding people, specifically in the {\clq}qawareness of the price of life and health, their mortality, rearrange values`` Most preferred {\clq}qspiritual sense of suffering``, according to the public lies in the {\clq}qsacrifice of suffering on the intention``. Results of comparison mean for the pastoral work the challenge to help find seriously ill and dying people the mission in their suffering, specifically in their participation on the saving suffering of Christ. Another important task of the pastoral workers is to help society acquire a dignified view of man in suffering and have genuine compassion with him, expressed also by deeds of charity.

AIDS - a Disease or God´s Punishment?
VOBORNÍKOVÁ, Daniela
Present work deals with the solution of the strain between Jewish-Christian picture of good and loving God and a tragic reality of AIDS phenomenon. The work looks for answers to questions such as: Is a human being able to influence their health by an ethical way of life? To what extend are we responsible for our diseases and difficulties? Is a disease God´s punishment?{\crqq} What is (can be) the sense of a disease? How can we explain the suffering of the innocent? The work looks for the connections between a disease and a sin, between AIDS and an immoral life. The work presents the HIV/AIDS issue as a phenomenon concerning all people without a difference. It solves if it is possible to perceive AIDS as a kind of God punishment for sinful and immoral behaviour of people, as a consequence of structural maleficence or a personal carelessness of a human person. It points out the methods of primary prevention and reminds the task of a Christian to bring Christian values into a human society. The way out is found in the change of thinking and behaviour of people: in the appreciation and acquirement of ethical demands and opening to God blessing for the assumption of belief.

Intergenerational opinions on euthanasia
EXNEROVÁ, Jitka
I have chosen the topic of euthanasia for my bachelor´s thesis. I find the topic fairly problematic and it is frequently discussed in the media as well. On the other hand, there is palliative medicine which is rarely spoken about. In my thesis I wanted to highlight the possibilities of palliative care which seem to be neglected in our society and to underline possible risks of euthanasia. Moreover, I wanted to find out which factors influence the opinions on euthanasia in individual age groups. I was interested in the way people look upon euthanasia and palliative care. The thesis includes a theoretical and a practical part. The theoretical part deals with euthanasia, palliative care, pain, suffering, dying and death. In the practical part there are examples of abbreviated dialogues connected with this topic. In order to gain necessary information I have chosen the method of qualitative research and that of a narrative and semicontrolled dialogue. All the dialogues were recorded on a dictaphone with the consent o feach addressed person and then transferred into written form. They were abbreviated and preserved in colloquial language form for the sake of their authenticity. Some people wanted me to ask them questions. I have found out that palliative care still presents an unknown quantity for most people and the word hospice makes them feel scared, they have distorted ideas. On the contrary, they are pretty familiar with the word euthanasia, almost all of them have come across it and know what it is about. I have decided on four age categories. I have addressed at least one woman and one man from each category to be able to hear the opinion of both sexes. Respondents were chosen by chance. During the research I have found out that the intergenerational opinions on euthanasia are becoming less contradictious. I suppose that the goals of my thesis have been reached. Taking the information which has been found out into consideration it would be of great benefit if the media and the responsible organisations would provide our society with more information about the possibilities of palliative care.
