ENThe theme of this study “Analysis of the personality of bishop Vincentas Borisevičius and possibility of his beatification” has not been analysed yet in any theological literature. The theme of martyrdom is widely spread both in Holy Writ, Magisterium documents of the church and in works by fathers of the church. Bishop Vincentas Borisevičius’ life and work analyses have been made not once. However life, work, martyrdom and death facts of this bishop have not been analysed in any research studies in the light of requirements for candidates into the Saints. In the introduction of the study there are all sources of information, main reference books as well as written research studies related to this theme presented. This article shows how Vincentas Borisevičius’ life testified his belief till the end of his days and how facts of his life correspond to criteria of beatification especially the moments of inquiry in Soviet courts where Vincentas Borisevičius showed a true, clear and categorical testimony which led him to death. This study is based on documents of Church teachings, historical sources as well as other literature related to the theme of this study. During the study it appeared that personal virtues and values of Bishop Vincentas Borisevičius were alive in his life, activity and in the face of death. The tragedy of the end of his life is martyrdom as a reality of the testimony corresponding to beatification criteria that are being raised in such cases. [From the publication]
