Diakonia liturgii

Abstract

The liturgical deaconship in the objective meaning is one of the services undertaken by the Light-Life Movement, originated by God’s Servant Rev. Franciszek Blachnicki to serve the revival of the Church according to the spirit of the Vatican Council II. The liturgical deaconship is also, in an objective meaning, the definition of the community that exists within the Light-Life Movement and undertakes services connected with the liturgical life of the community. The liturgical deaconship will undertake a triple service, that is, conducting formation of its members for a proper understanding of the nature of liturgy and its place in the life of the Church and the Light-Life Movement; assistance in a proper participation in liturgy; and introduction to the proper performance of liturgical services. It should be stated that the basic formation of the Light-Life Movement for secondary school pupils and for children is nothing but formation of liturgical service, which means formation of all who undertake any services in a liturgical community. The system of deutero-catechumenai formation is built into a ten-year formative system of the liturgical service worked out by F. Blachnicki and it becomes groundless on the child-youth level if this assumption is not taken into consideration. Realization of these aims first requires a deepened liturgical formation of the people who realize their service in the movement as liturgical deaconship. The plan of this formation is now being devised. A four-year plan of formation has been initially worked out and it is being constantly improved and complemented.
