Służebna rola przepisów prawno-liturgicznych

Abstract

The article is an attempt of showing selected juridical and liturgical norms in the respect of their influence on the attitudes of the lay faithful in the fields of teaching and sanctifying in the Church. The norms order unity and variety of the tasks connected with the office of preaching the word of God and celebrating of the sacraments (Eucharist, Baptism, Anointing of the Sick and Matrimony) in building up the community of the People of God. The research shows, that the evolution of liturgical and juridical depictions is clearly formational and therefore ministerial. The faithful observing the norms is a guarantee of clarity of the reality, which the norms represent. It also helps to discover one’s proper task in the Church.
