Paschalne urzeczywistnienie Kościoła w nowej ewangelizacji

Abstract

The proclamation of the Good News, which is the primary task of the Church founded by Jesus, should have a paschal character. Celebrated by Jews Passover not only promises, but also prepares the final victory over sin and death, accomplished through Jesus Christ in the Paschal Mystery. Paschal character has therefore the event of Jesus and the Church created as its consequence. Paschal character should also have all offices and functions in the Church, used to make present the kingdom of God on earth that can not be limited only to the temporal. Similarly he Kingdom of God can not be completely isolated from temporality. The best explanation of this is the reality of Passover, which combines memory and present, history and the eschatological future. The Church, filling the missionary command of Jesus, makes this on the paschal way, giving the paschal character to all of its offices and functions. In the same sense, he understands and leads the work of evangelization in every cultural and historical context.
