Odnowa ludzkiej aktywności w świetle Eucharystii na podstawie Konstytucji duszpasterskiej o Kościele w świecie współczesnym II Soboru Watykańskiego „Gaudium et spes”, n. 38

Abstract

The topic of the human work and activity is the subject of many fields of learning. It is also examined from a theological and philosophical perspective. It seems though, that the subject is not often associated with the Holy mass itself, that is mostly understood and comprehended as a sacrament of unity and meeting with God, not as a sacrament enabling and strengthening to activity, work and duty. This connection, in a perfect way, was seized by the counciliar constitution Gaudium et spes in only one point. Point 38 of this constitution seems to be not uncovered yet, either in theoretical considerations or pastoral ratio. The article is the attempt to sketch the clear connection between the holy mass and a work based on the teaching of the Second Vatican Council. The Council in the constitution Gaudium et spes brings up the issue of existence of the Church in the world, and the point 38 is dedicated to the connection of the Holy mass and human activity. The aim of this analysis was to show the clear ratio of the public Church cult on the everyday human activity.
