The article tackles the issue of the theological structure of the revived Hispanic Mozarabic rite that had been formed in the Iberian Peninsula in the vicinity of the three metropolitan sees: Seville, Toledo and Tarragona. Formation of the rite was a long process, in which a prominent role was played by the great Spanish theologians, with St Isidore of Seville and St Ildephonsus of Toledo in the foreground...
One of the reasons of a lesser efficiency of preaching in homilies is the fact that every Sunday the homily is preached as if it were independent and not connected with the previous and the following ones. However, it should be possible to end a homily, at least from time to time, with a remark that the homily will be continued, which would really serve emphasizing the sense of continuity and identity...
The paschal mystery as the anamnesis of the death and resurrection of Christ from the beginning of Christianity, is in the centre of the theological thought and the liturgical celebration. In time of the liturgical movement before the II Vatican Council theologians paid attention on this mystery. Many years before appearing the encyclical of the pope Pius XII Mediator Dei was known the theological...
The issue of the Eucharistic-Paschal identity of the liturgical year is first of all concerned with the focusing and propagating role of the Easter Triduum in the liturgical year, the message about the mystery of the Lord's Birth, the message of Mariology and hagiology in the liturgical year and with the cycle of the liturgical year. (1) The focusing and propagating role of the Easter Triduum touches...
The article is devoted to Virgin Mary's interceding role. It is based on the hermeneutics of the celebration texts in the Mass form Virgin Mary the Helper of the Faithful contained in Collectio Missarum de Beata Maria Virgine. The study consists of three parts: the first one contains an analysis of Biblical texts (the 1st reading, the responsorial psalm, the song before the Gospel, and the Gospel...
Kavanagh used to say that liturgy is 'doing the world the way the world was meant to be done.' The reason for reflecting upon a hermeneutic by which to appreciate liturgical theology has the practical consequence of wanting to realize the connection between Church and world, Christ and life, supernature and nature. Sacraments exist 'for the life of the world,' as Schmemann titles his book on the subject...
The article consists of three parts. In the first part the author shows the peculiar way, in which the presbyter may attain holiness. It is the way of the ministry of God's word, accepted along with the Holy Orders. Both the great dignity of the ministry of the word and the dignity of those, who perform this ministry properly, are discussed in the second part. The claims contained here are supported...
The mystery nature of liturgy issues from the mystery nature of God's Revelation that has its height in Jesus Christ. It is in liturgy that Christ's salutary mystery is actualized. Owing to this, man can participate in Christ's mystery, and the very mystery achieves its aim. The mystery nature of liturgical celebration is fulfilled in its being a reorientation of Christian life to the mystery of Christ...
A homily as part of the liturgy is a Holy act like the whole liturgy. The Good News should be its essence. The Good News, Jesus Christ - the Crucified, the Risen, the Giver of the Holy Spirit. He makes himself present in the liturgy, in a real word. He comes to a sinful man to save him. Therefore homily is the meeting of God and man. It's God's Word made present in the word of a human preacher. Appropriate...
Both the form and the content of the Church's original catechesis, as well as the preachers themselves and their personalities are ancient sources of homilies. The whole Bible is the foundation of both these sources - the homily and the preachers. This is an important point. The homily should be connected with both the Old Testament and the New Testament. The preacher should remind of the evangelical...
On the basis of the documents of the Church from the Constitution on Liturgy Sacrosanctum Concilium to the Instruction Redemptionis Sacramentum the author presents the Church's legal norms concerning the possibility of receiving the Holy Communion under both kinds by lay faithful. He shows the process of gradually broadening the circle of people entitled to do it, principally in the course of celebrating...
The Catechism of the Catholic Church shows with deep conviction that the Eucharist is 'the source and summit of the Christian life.' (CCC 1324). Hence it is necessary to constantly remind its meaning for the growth of the congregation's faith and devoutness. The different forms of the cult of the Holy Eucharist have the task of explaining its significance and stimulate one to actively and consciously...
The author of the article also cites some liturgists who considered common prayer a separate part of the Holy Mass between the liturgy of the word and the liturgy of the Eucharist. Other liturgists distinguish the liturgy of love in the Holy Mass that consists of common prayer and preparation of the offertory - the spiritual and material gifts. Although these conceptions have not been accepted, they...
Every liturgy, including also the liturgy of exorcism, is a peculiar locus theologicus. The present article is focused in this case on emphasizing the pneumatological dimension of the rite. In the exorcisms the Church is united with the Holy Spirit and begs Him to give help to the man's weakness in his struggle against the evil spirit. This strange synergy of the Spirit and the Church in Christ is...
The article consists of three parts. The first part of the article explains the concept of the personal model in general, and the second one - limits the concept to catechesis. In the last and most important part of the article personal patterns both from the Old and the New Testament are shown, with special attention paid to Jesus Christ and Our Lady.
