Kościół w perspektywie eschatycznej i maryjnej

Abstract

The contents of this article is following: The Church from it’s nature is called to be eschatologically full. This purpose pointed out by God is realized by a participation in the Mystery of Christ. This task, which is given to the Church, meets an objection, like the whole Redeemer’s work, because Christianity is still in danger with a temptation of an eschatology without history or a temptation of a history without eschatology (P. Evdokimov). So the present problem of the Church is how to connect the Cross with the Resurrection. The Redeemer’s answer is sending the Holy Spirit to the Church. Then Holy Spirit is bringing together a transcendence with the history and is transforming of a temporality by His presence, carrying a leaven of the inheritance of glory in the Church (compare with Eph. 1, 13-14). According to the God’s own will Christ had a companion with His work in person of His Mother who has also participated with His job. “Full of grace” was making Her Son’s way with the faith, accepting the Word and was uniting with Him in a sacrifice of the Cross to enter to the glory of the Resurrected finally. Similarly the Church is related to it’s Master in Mary fashion. The Church participates with imparting the Word and uniting with Him itself in a sacrifice to pass to the God Kingdom’s glory. Contemporary men has a huge challenge that is: to stand in opposition to many threats of the world he has to understand God’s initiatives first and his appropriation to the glory.
