Obraz Trójcy Świętej w obrzędach sakramentów chorych. Studium hermeneutyczne tekstów celebracji

Abstract

The present hermeneutic study of the hook The Rite of Anointing and Pastoral Care of the Sick (Ordo unctionis infirmorum eorumque pastoralis curae; in Polish: Sakramenty chorych. Obrzędy i duszpasterstwo) aims at discovering theological-liturgical contents allowing to find the image of the Holy Trinity in those rites. Its most valuable achievement is undoubtedly the “dictionary of celebrative phrases depicting the Holy Trinity” It may be used in many ways and in various theological fields, and especially in the broadly understood practical theology. Subjecting the phrases from syntagmas to further theological study we can contemplate God the Father, God’s Son and the Holy Spirit as exactly such as we find them in the anointing of the sick. We also find an answer here to the question why God acts towards the sick and towards those who take care of him according to the particular logie, and in what way each of the Divine Persons acts in those sacraments for the good of the man who is starving for the health of the body and the soul, and ultimately for salvation.
