Liturgia jako consummatio fidei
Mojzeš, Marcel (Wydawnictwo Naukowe Uniwersytetu Papieskiego Jana Pawła II, 2015)
The author first explains that in the contemporary utility society is important to perceive the meaning of the term consummatio (with double m) not as “consummation” (lat. consumatio with one m), but as “accomplishment, termination, completion”. In the person of Jesus Christ, especially in the moment of his death at the Cross was revealed in supreme mode the love of God to man through consummatio expressed by the words of Jesus consummatum est (Jn 19, 30). Also St. Augustin is speaking about the matrimonial dimension of this love when he compares the Cross of Christ to the bridal bed of Briegroom Christ and Bride Church. Then the author shows that consummatio fidei, which according to the Catechism of Catholic Church consists in the blessed vision of God, is not reserved for the eternity. The culmination of contemplation is to see God in the proper heart, in the fellowman and in the life of the Church. Consummantio fidei perceived in this mode then leads to the deepening of the liturgical praise of God.
