In 1985 he graduated from the Higher Metropolitan Seminary in Warsaw. He was ordained a priest on 2 June 1985. For two years he worked as a vicar in the parish of st. Vincent de Paul in Otwock. Then he performed i.a. the function of the prefect and lecturer of pastoral theology at the Major Metropolitan Seminary, as well as the director of the Pastoral Department of the Warsaw Curia. In the years 1991-1999 he was involved in the works of the Second Polish Plenary Synod.[3] From 1992, he was a member of the radio editorial office of the holy mass at the Holy Cross Church in Warsaw. He preached during the mass broadcast by Polish Radio at 9 am.[4]
In 1996–1998 he was the editor-in-chief of Radio Józef in Warsaw. He collaborated with Radio Plus, where he hosted the Katechizm Poręczny program devoted primarily to answers to listeners' questions about the practical aspects of faith. For many years, he also preached the highly popular sermons at 15:00 in the St. Anne's Church (Central Academic Chaplaincy Center). In 1999 he was appointed lecturer of homiletics at the Major Metropolitan Seminary in Warsaw and of theology of the word at the Pontifical Faculty of Theology.
In the years 2000-2010 he was the chaplain of the chapel in the Sejm of the Republic of Poland and the chaplain of parliamentarians.[3]
He preached numerous retreats both in parishes and churches, as well as stationary ones for groups of participants – in many Polish cities and for Polish communities abroad. The most famous of the conferences he gives are those on love and sexuality, including Seks – poezja czy rzemiosło? (Sex – Poetry or Craft?).[5] His books have been translated into Russian, Belarusian, Ukrainian, Lithuanian, Hungarian and Spanish.[6]
