Evagrius Scholasticus, the author of Historia Ecclesiastica, written at the end of the sixth century, is unanimously regarded by scholars as a person - in proportion to his times - of broad horizons and objectivity. He is without any doubt an unusual writer. A good example of his originality is his description of the rule emperor Anastasius. Evagrius describes him very warmly, although the emperor was regarded as a partisan of the monophysites. Yet Evagrius, without any doubt a Chalcedonian writer, places Anastasius in heaven after his death; Justinian, on the other hand, is placed in hell.

This article explores the political and cultural context of the riots provoked by changes in the Trisagion (512). Along with the advancing integration of the Byzantine Empire with Christianity, the state’s interest in theological problems increased; these problems were also reflected in the liturgy. Worship was used as a tool of imperial policy. This mutual interaction between politics and liturgy can be observed particularly clearly in the history of the Trisagion. This hymn, in its primitive form appearing in the book of Isaiah (as the familiar Sanctus Sanctus Sanctus), had two interpretations from the first centuries. According to the first one, the hymn referred to God, or – with the development of theology – to the whole Holy Trinity. According to the second interpretation (probably originating from Antioch), it referred to Christ. Already in the 4th century, the Trisagion entered the liturgy. In the middle of the 5th century, we encounter a new version of the Trisagion (known as SanctusDeus, Sanctus Fortis), which was an elaboration of the above-mentioned hymn. It also found use in the liturgy and originally had a Trinitarian sense. The Monophysites, in order to give the hymn an anti-Chalcedonian sense, added to it the expression who was crucified for us; this makes the hymn unambiguously Christological, but it may also suggest theopaschism (all of the Trinity was crucified). In Antioch, where the Trisagion first appeared in that form (and where the hymn had always been interpreted as referring to Christ), this addition did not provoke protests from the Chalcedonians. However, when the Monophysite emperor Anastasius decided to introduce this version to the liturgy in Constantinople, the inhabitants of the capital – accustomed to understanding the Trisagion in the Trinitarian sense – interpreted the change as an offence against the Trinity. This caused the outbreak of the Trisagion riots (512). Not long afterwards, restoring the anthem in the version without the addition became one of the postulates of military commander Vitalian’s rebellion against Anastasius. Thus, in the case under analysis, we see theology and liturgy blending with current politics; one and the same hymn could be understood as heretical in one city and as completely orthodox in another.

The formation of the lay faithful of the Prelature of Opus Dei is closely linked to its objectives, namely the promotion of the universal vocation to holiness and sanctification through work. The point of reference, beyond the teaching of the Magisterium, is always the teaching of the Founder of Opus Dei. At its centre is formation for the correct experiencing of the sacrament of the Eucharist. The laity are formed for this purpose both through lectures and talks, through the daily practice of the Mass, and through Eucharistic customs, as well as through the consideration of liturgical texts
PL
Formacja wiernych świeckich Prałatury Opus Dei jest ściśle powiązana z jej celami, czyli promowaniem powszechnego powołania do świętości i uświęcania się przez pracę. Punktem odniesienia, poza nauczaniem Magisterium, zawsze jest nauczanie Założyciela Opus Dei. W jej centrum znajduje się formacja do prawidłowego przeżywania sakramentu eucharystii. Świeccy są w tym celu formowani zarówno poprzez wykłady i pogadanki, poprzez codzienną praktykę Mszy Świętej, a także poprzez zwyczaje eucharystyczne, jak również poprzez rozważanie tekstów liturgicznych.
