    Refleksje Benedykta XVI wokół teologii liturgii
    Cieślik, Paweł (Wyższe Seminarium Duchowne Diecezji Warszawsko-Praskiej, 2013)
    This article is a reflection on the Theology of the Liturgy presented by Joseph Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI). Based on seminal quotes from the works of the retired Pope, the author shows how he undertook to more clearly define the Liturgy and reflect on its very essence using the concept of logikę latria which means: the divine service responding to the Logos. Relying on his own personal experience, Ratzinger also emphasized the relationship between the Liturgy and the formation of priests. He often insisted that the Liturgy be rooted in the unity of the Church. Christ is one and the same the world over, therefore the main purpose of the Liturgy is to build the unity of the Church community. For example, the tradition that the priest and the faithful are turned in one direction towards the East has a deep meaning, highlighting the dimension of the common journey and the faithful’s longing for the Parousia, the coming of the Lord. To Ratzinger this eschatological hope is expressed as well in the context of the Mass seen as a participation in the heavenly Liturgy. Another important aspect of the Liturgy is the continuity between its time-varying forms. Guided by his profound respect for the liturgical tradition, Benedict XVI emphasized the equality between the exercise of the old and the new rite of the modem Church. His respect for the existing liturgical deposit was also expressed in his firm conviction that even the Successor of Saint Peter is a servant of the Liturgy.
