Relacja Duch Święty - Maryja w liturgii Mszy świętej

Abstract

This article is an analysis of the place and role of the relation between Mary and the Holy Ghost in the celebration of the Holy Mass. Catholic Church Catechism, stressing the exceptional place and role of the Holy Spirit in the performance of the Eucharist liturgy, describes His mission in five basic clauses in which the Holy Ghost: prepares believers to accept Christ (CCC 1093 -1098), recalls Christ’s mysteries (anamnesis, CCC 1099-1103), updates Christ mystery (epiklesis preconsecrational, CCC 1104-1107), is the author of the cômmunion between Gods people, the Holy Ghost and the brothers (epiklesis postconsecrational, CCC 1108-1109), gives liturgy an earnest of the future, „allows for the real anticipation of the perfect Holy Trinity communion (CCC 1107). Although Our Lady was included in the Redemption in the most original manner and it is extremely difficult to describe the nature of the report between Mary and the Holy Spirit in the liturgy, Her relation with the Holy Ghost should and is stressed in the performance of the Eucharist. In compliance to the five roles, which accordingly to the Catholic Church Catechism the Holy Spirit plays in the liturgy, report between Mary and the Holy Ghost is presented in the described article in the following way: a) Mary as an archetype of the Church and Its most perfect model is an example of the Churches as well as the individual Christians openness for the Holy Spirit influence, b) Redeeming Christ mysteries recalled in the liturgy (anamnesis) also bring to mind His most holy Mother, who conceived by the Holy Ghost and who lived with His constant presence, c) The Church asks the Father to „send the Holy Spirit and in signs as well as in words present Christ with His redeeming deeds (sacraments) for the glory of God and sanctification of men”. Incarnation of the Son, when by the Holy Ghost a word descended, took form from the Virgin Mary and lived among us (J 1,14) is the prototype of each sacramental epiklesis. d) In the liturgy the Holy Spirit causes unity of believers among themselves and with the Holy Trinity. Holy Mary is the one who as a member of the Gods people, prays with them and at the same time pleads in their name for the gift of unity with God and among themselves, e) Holy Mary is a model and a perfect representation of the future life in great communion with the Holy Trinity, shown in the liturgy by the Holy Ghost and to which all of the Church is being constantly called. The above deductions were concluded from the analysis of the liturgical texts of both East and West. Collectio Missarum de Beata Maria Wrgine, modem Roman collection of votive masses venerating Our Lady, proclaimed in the Vatican in 1986 and published a year later were especially used.
