Appreciating the meaning of the liturgy in the overall activity of the Church consequently leads to the discovery of its relationship with Christian spirituality. This has resulted in the emergence of a field of theology called liturgical spirituality, in which the liturgy of the Church determines the quality of life of the believer and at the same time shapes it. Considering the importance and role of the Eucharist in a Christian’s life, the fullest realization of liturgical spirituality is a believer’s participation in the Eucharistic liturgy. Hence, we can talk about a so-called Eucharistic spirituality, which is an example of liturgical spirituality. The issue discussed in this article is summarized in the following question: how does the Eucharist shape the Christian life of a believer participating in it?.

Proper human development demands a clear moral orientation in life and definition of purpose and of the meaning of human existence. Unfortunately, the phenomena that can be observed in the area of contemporary moral attitudes and actions, seem to confirm the ethical disorientation and mental confusion of man. The boundary between good and evil and between truth and falsehood is blurred. The fundamental moral values are eroding. These occurrences also could have been observed in times in which Jerzy Ablewicz, the Shepherd of the Church of Tarnów, lived and worked. The Bishop in his pastoral ministry tried to present to the faithful a clear and convincing image of life that is truly Christian. A moral message contained in his teaching responded to the most recent challenges of the contemporary time. As a zealous pastor, responsible for the formation and strengthening of the moral life, he gave specific instructions on what should be done to improve the lives of Christians.

An interesting proposal of solving the problem of relationship between theology and liturgy was put forward by the Roman school of liturgical theology comprising a group of theologians working mainly at Pontificio Ateneo San Anselmo, and more recently, mainly at Università Pontificia Salesiana over the time period directly preceding the Second Vatican Counsil up to now. The main founder of the Roman school of liturgical theology was Cipriano Vagaggini OSBCam (1909-1999). The second prominent personage was Salvatore Marsili OSB (1910-1983). The third theologian of this environment was Achille Maria Triacca SDB (1935-2002). The Roman school of liturgical theology also included Burkhart Neunheuser OSB (1903-2003); Adrian M. Nocent OSB (1913-1996), Matias Augé CMF, Domenico Sartore CSJ (1936-2006), and contemporarily the leading position belongs to Manlio Sodi SDB. Vagaggini understood liturgical theology as a type of systematic theology which, on one hand, describes liturgy and tries to comprehend it, and on the other hand, shows how the truths of faith live in various forms of liturgical celebration. For Marsili, liturgical theology was theology living in liturgy, moreover, he mostly equals these two concepts. This causes that liturgical theology becomes a type of mystical experience, as understood by Casel, which means contemplation of mystery in its actualization. The third of the mentioned theologians – Triacca made an effort to creatively harmonize earlier conceptions and then gave it an original shape. He started with the assumption that liturgy cannot be reduced solely to celebration (Actio), and its understanding should take into account everything that is present in in celebration which is the mystery of the Christian faith (Mysterium) and the Christian life (Vita). Theology cannot be an exclusive domain of researchers because it first comes from God, so it grows from experience of God. Liturgical theology in its strict sense can be analyzed on two levels. First and most important, it is a Christian experience which occurs in liturgical celebration. In this sense, one can often have impression that liturgical theology is something non-communicable and consists in the participant’s internal experience and reflection (contemplation). In this way, liturgical theology seems to be identified with the very conscious participation in celebration. The level of scientific reflection is the second level of analysis of liturgical theology. On this level numerous methodological attempts may be noticed but, eventually, most issues remain open and are challenges for further research. Practically, liturgical theology becomes theology from theologically interpreted liturgical celebration, especially from euchology.

The article proposes an interpretation of the Letters of St. Paul based on Heidegger's early lectures. It introduces the notion of excess. Excess (nad-miar) is not only the opposite of what can be measured (miara); it is above all something that exceeds measurement, though in an immeasurable (bez-mierne) way. Excess expresses the actual infinity of the subject while the “immeasurable” expresses his potential infinity. This difference between the immeasurable and excess is visible in the context of messianic temporality. Those who await a temporal messiah treat him as an extension of the immeasurable world of their own expectations. Christians do not expect a specific event; for them treating God as a third person is senseless. Their concept of God arose in the temporality in which all things are accomplished in accordance with Paul's motto, "Stay alert, stand firm in the faith, show courage, be strong. Everything you do should be done in love." (1 Cor 16:13-14). This is a subjective figure for taking responsibility for living, thinking and acting, which are to take place in love and expresses a revolution, for such subjective figures change the very character of Christian life.

Teologia neoewangelikalna, osadzona w kulturze Stanów Zjednoczonych, jest pewnego rodzaju kompromisem, w świecie protestanckim, pomiędzy myślą fundamentalną a liberalną. Stąd wydaje się najbliższa w swych założeniach teologii Kościoła katolickiego. W związku z tym zasadne jest zbadanie, co mówi o roli Ducha Świętego w kształtowaniu chrześcijańskiego życia. Niniejszy artykuł ukazuje, w oparciu o kaznodziejstwo Billego Grahama, cztery aktywności Ducha Świętego w życiu chrześcijanina, wyróżniane przez teologię neoewangelikalną: poucza o grzechu, daje nowe życie, pomaga wybrać Boga, pozwala zrozumieć Biblię. Każda z nich została opatrzona komentarzem z perspektywy teologii katolickiej.

The neoevangelical theology, embedded in the culture of the United States, is a kind of compromise between fundamental and liberal thought, in the Protestant world. Thus, it seems the closest in its assumptions to the theology of Catholic Church. Therefore, it is reasonable to examine what it says about the role of the Holy Spirit in shaping of a Christian life. This article, based on the preaching of Billy Graham, presents four activities of the Holy Spirit in the Christian life, distinguished by neoevangelical theology: he convicts about sin, he gives a new life, he helps to choose God, he lets people understand the Bible. Every activity was commented from the perspective of Catholic theology.

Docenienie znaczenia liturgii w całokształcie działalności Kościoła prowadzi konsekwentnie do odkrycia jej związku z duchowością chrześcijańską. Zaskutkowało to powstaniem w teologii dziedziny zwanej duchowością liturgiczną, w której elementem określającym jakość życia wierzącego i zarazem kształtującym ją jest liturgia Kościoła. Gdy wziąć pod uwagę znaczenie i rolę Eucharystii w życiu chrześcijańskim, najpełniejszym urzeczywistnieniem duchowości liturgicznej jest uczestnictwo wierzącego w liturgii eucharystycznej. Stąd też można mówić o tzw. duchowości eucharystycznej, będącej przykładem duchowości liturgicznej. Problematyka tego artykułu streszcza się w pytaniu, w jaki sposób Eucharystia i udział w niej wierzącego kształtuje życie chrześcijańskie.

Artykuł wprowadza w tematykę kazań bł. biskupa Michała Kozala. Został opracowany w celu przygotowania bazy materiałowej, koniecznej do prowadzenia dalszych nad nimi badań naukowych i opracowań. Opracowanie tematu uzasadniła potrzeba ukazania wpływu Błogosławionego na dzieje Kościoła i Polski, w pierwszych dziesiątkach lat XX wieku. Cele, jakie stawiał sobie w bogatej tematyce kazań, sprowadzał do kształtowania takiego poziomu duchowo-moralnego, aby miał swoje urzeczywistnienie najpierw w realiach życia ówczesnych rodzin. W ich zaś perspektywie widział z kolei możliwość ewangelizacyjnego ich oddziaływania na całokształt życia Kościoła, społeczeństwa, Narodu, a nawet świata. Dążył w nich do integrowania życia wiernych świeckich chrześcijan z lokalną wspólnotą parafialną, z Kościołem, życiem społeczno-politycznym i patriotyzmem. Tematykę kazań opierał na doktrynie chrześcijańskiej. W artykule uwzględniono kazania niedzielne i świąteczne dla dorosłych, egzorty niedzielne i świąteczne dla młodzieży, kazania tematyczne i okolicznościowe oraz nauki pasyjne. Materiałem badawczym były więc rękopisy kazań Błogosławionego, opracowane i wydane w wersji papierowej. Analiza źródeł umożliwiła przeprowadzenie uszeregowania kazań pod względem tematycznym, wskazanie celów i sposobu ich przeprowadzenia wraz z konkluzją egzystencjalną. W ramach podjętego studium wyłoniły się następujące tematy: O Bogu Trójedynym, o Kościele, o sakramentach, o świętych, o życiu chrześcijańskim oraz o patriotyzmie i życiu społeczno-politycznym. One wyznaczyły strukturę niniejszego artykułu. Opracowana tematyka zapewne inspiruje do podejmowania dalszych badań nad twórczością kaznodziejską Błogosławionego.

The study concerns the first mentions of the righteous kingdom and the love of justice in the Letter to the Hebrews. The meaning of the analyzed terms is built by their author on the comparison between Son’s immutability and His superiority to the nature and position of angels (1:8-9). Son’s love of justice is not limited to His passion and death, but is manifested through everything that preceded His anointing as the King of justice. This manifestation makes Him the example of the justice that the Christian are called to exhibit in their lives.

Analysis of the Church’s documents shows a continuity of the Church’s teaching, and at the same time its development. The constant element of the Church’s teaching from the Council of Trent on the issue of the aim of celebrating the Eucharist has been pointing to the sacramental actualization of Christ’s only sacrifice for the lives of the faithful, who include their spiritual offerings into this actualization. Owing to this the Holy Mass is both Christ’s and the Church’s sacrifice. The Eucharist is fulfilled in heavenly liturgy. Since Pius XII’s encyclical Mediator Dei the Church has been putting more stress to the Eucharist’s ecclesiogenic aim. This teaching reaches its peak in John Paul II’s encyclical Ecclesia de Eucharistia. Since Pius XII’s encyclical the Church’s ever greater care has been seen for the participation of the faithful in the Eucharist.

Fundamentalną rolę w kształtowaniu życia chrześcijańskiego odgrywa cnota religijności. W nauczaniu biskupa tarnowskiego Jerzego Ablewicza została ona potraktowana wyjątkowo obszernie i szczegółowo. Cnota religijności znajduje swoje urzeczywistnienie w różnego rodzaju aktów kultu. W niniejszej publikacji w świetle listów pasterskich i kazań Jerzego Ablewicza zostaną ukazane fundamentalne przejawy życia kultycznego, a mianowicie: modlitwa, świętowanie dnia Pańskiego i pielgrzymowanie. Wszystkie te akty kultu religijnego nadają właściwy kierunek i siłę całemu chrześcijańskiemu życiu człowieka. Wpływają one na kształtowanie właściwej postawy wobec Boga, bliźniego i otaczającego świata.

The ideas of sequela Christi and imitatio Christi as a rule of Christian life are all rooted in the words and attitude of Jesus and the Apostles, and then expressed in the teaching of the Church, from the Fathers onwards. They have a great ecumenical importance as a regula vitae for all Christians. In the new millennium, we must show the world the «whole» Christ in His fullness of truth: in the power of the baptismal grace, with the joyful boldness of the Spirit, in ways renewed in methods and zeal. The ecumenical dimension of this following/imitation Christ rises from his Trinitarian, Christological, pneumatological and baptismal foundation in the perspective of the evangelization.
PL
Idee sequela Christi oraz imitatio Christi jako reguł chrześcijańskiego życia są zakorzenione w słowach i postawie Jezusa i Apostołów, a potem wyrażone w nauczaniu Kościoła, począwszy od jego Ojców. Mają wielkie znaczenie ekumeniczne jako regula vitae dla wszystkich chrześcijan. W nowym tysiącleciu musimy ukazywać światu „całego” Chrystusa w Jego pełnej prawdzie: w mocy łaski chrztu, z radosną śmiałością Ducha, w sposób odnowiony w metodach i w zapale. Ekumeniczny wymiar tego naśladowania Chrystusa (podążania za Nim i upodobnienia do Niego) wyrasta z jego trynitarnego, chrystologicznego, pneumatologicznego i chrzcielnego fundamentu w perspektywie ewangelizacji.
