Uwielbienie w liturgii i poza liturgią
Bartocha, Waldemar (Redakcja Wydawnictw Wydziału Teologicznego Uniwersytetu Opolskiego, 2024)
With regard to worship services, we have no ordo. No document has so far appeared which regulates in detail the celebration of such services. Instead, certain customs have taken shape. Some treat the various forms of worshipping and praising God as adoration, while others place them more in the context of evangelisation events. The article attempts to answer the question of where the phenomenon of worship services could be classified. According to the author of the article, extra-liturgical forms of worship and praise to God are situated in the key of popular piety, whose ‘source is the constant and active presence of the Holy Spirit in the ecclesial community and its point of reference is the mystery of Christ, while its goal is “the glorification of God and the salvation of men” (Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, Directory for Popular Piety and the Liturgy. Principles and indications, no. 61). Referring to the documents of the Church’s Magisterium, the author points out some theological and pastoral criteria that can provide valuable assistance to both celebrants and participants in harmonising worship services with the rhythm and demands of the liturgy, so that the worship of God both within and outside the liturgy leads to a life of worship.
