Liturgia a nowa ewangelizacja
Kandefer, Piotr (Wydawnictwo Towarzystwa Naukowego Katolickiego Uniwersytetu Lubelskiego, 2005)
Evangelization is preaching about the person of Jesus Christ and at the same time participating in His prophetic mission that today is being carried out by the Church in the Holy Spirit. It is performed with respect to the ones who have not been baptized as the first preaching of faith; with respect to the baptized ones who have not experienced a personal relation to the person of Jesus Christ or for various reasons have broken the ties with Him; and with respect to the community of the faithful, constantly in need of reviving the ties with the Lord. Evangelization is immanently bestowed with the valor of novelty in the Biblical meaning. Liturgy as celebration of the salutary mystery of Jesus Christ in the Church is a necessary complement of the work of evangelization and it is its ultimate goal. Evangelization and liturgy are closely connected with each other. Evangelization leads to liturgy; and liturgy is the evangelical, creative revelation of the mystery of communion with God and with brothers in the Church by means of words and signs. Hence evangelization of the Church finds its summit and its source in liturgy. As such it is in the center of the ecclesial dynamism that today is being undertaken by revival movements that are a sign of the Church’s vitality and permanent renewal.
