Niedziela - dzień dni

Abstract

The name of Sunday as of the day above all other days shows that observing it exceeds the dimension of ordinary reality of celebration. John Paul Il’s Apostolic Letter Dies Domini that introduced this phrase into the Church kerygma, points to Sunday’s central place in Christian life. Sunday opens the Christian to a meeting with the Resurrected Lord, to the brotherly community, and to another man. This Pascha of the week reminds of and reveals the meaning of time and imposes its own rhythm on its human measures. As the day of the Eucharist, prayer and communion with brothers in faith Sunday is a gift to the Church and man and it is the sowing of eternity. Regular participation in Sunday Eucharist gathering is a confirmation of the fact that one belongs to the Christian community.
