Z problematyki Słowa Bożego w liturgii

Abstract

To the extraordinarily rich scholarly reflexion of the Word of God in Liturgy, the author adds, above all, two ideas, which to this time have not been elaborated in Poland. He presents the formulation of the statement in article 7 of The Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy: „He is present in His Word since it is He himself who speaks when the Holy Scriptures are read in the Church”. In presenting the formulation of this statement, the author refers to the Praeparatoria of the II Vatican Council. He also points out how the statement in article 7 is enriched by: Mysterium Fidei and Mysterium Eucharisticum. The attainment of the full „maximum momentum” of the Word of God in the Liturgy postulates the necessity of scriptural epiclesis, which is the second important thought of the article. This epiclesis is especially developed in the liturgy of St. John Chrysostom.
