At the heart of the celebration of the Eucharist is the Eucharistic Prayer, during which the mystery of Christ is made present. In the Latin liturgy of the Western Church, for centuries the priest always recited the same Eucharistic Prayer at the Holy Mass from the Roman Canon. This oldest liturgical text was built symmetrically around the words of the institution that Jesus spoke over the bread and wine. The structure of the Canon itself was shaped over several centuries, but the proper arrangement was known already in the 7th and 8th centuries. The Canon of the Mass has been for centuries the basis for the theological interpretation of individual texts, gestures and signs. Particularly since the Middle Ages, they were explained on the basis of their allegorical interpretation. This way of interpreting the Mass was known since the 8th century and consisted of a moralizing, typological, commemorative, eschatic and an anagogical presentation of all liturgical rites. The treatise Liber de divinis officiis by Rupert of Deutz is one of the most important texts dedicated to the liturgy in the Middle Ages. Rupert of Deutz explained the celebrations of the Mass in the second book of his work. In the first place, he points to the Passion’s interpretation in the Canon, from the moment Jesus entered Jerusalem to His body being placed in the grave. The Passion is also emphasized by the sign of the cross made by the priest at the time of the Canon, which symbolizes the wounds of Christ. The allegorical interpretation of the Mass Canon, made by Rupert of Deutz, is part of the theological tradition of the Middle Ages. Although he did not discuss all of the texts in the Canon, he did interpret its essential parts.

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?.

Canon 909 CIC in a concise, yet suggestive indicates the need for proper preparation by prayer to celebrate the Eucharist, and then make a thanksgiving to God for the salvation events taking place here and now, during the celebration of the Holy Sacrifice. Pastors of the Church in Poland suggest that the next private prayer language should be restraint leads to focus on in silence. Event Saints good experience also serves as a prior preparation of the liturgy of the spatial (space liturgical design) and limited (singing, people associated with the service of the liturgy). The preparation phase is the celebrant himself as well as all the participants in the liturgy. This eventually leads to gratitude to God manifested in an attitude of thanksgiving at the end of the liturgical celebrations.

In the implementation of the liturgical renewal more often we turn to the prereflection on the liturgy in an effort to show the continuation of thinking about the renewal of the liturgy before and after Vatican II. For the pre-theologians, the idea ahead of its time, and their thoughts and proposals found in the subsequent magisterium is priest. prof. Johannes Pinsk (1891–1957) was born in Szczecin, a prominent representative of the German liturgist and liturgical movement of the first half of the twentieth century. The article about the theology of Sunday, which has its origin in the fact of the resurrection of Christ and continues, bringing great wealth and variety of theological content of pastoral experience. The primary objective of this paper is to show how the post-council papal teaching at the turn of the century, based on the Apostolic Letter Dies Domini, John Paul II in 1998, reflected the views of J. Pinsk on the meaning and celebration of Sunday expressed in the first half of the twentieth century. Theological reflections on J. Pinsk renewal of Sunday revolve around several key themes: the basic theological motivation is that The Sunday of the resurrection of Christ; epiclesis nature of Sunday lets call this day a small descent of the Holy Spirit to restore the liturgical character of Sunday as the day of the Lord, the Community dimension of Sunday shows the doctrine of the Church as the Mystical Body of Christ.

The Church from the first moments of her existence has been recognizing in a person of a bishop and a presbyter those, only capable of presiding the Eucharistic celebration. This practice, resulting from the teaching of Christ, has found its reflection in the written law of the Church and has been repeated in both codifications of the Canon Law. Moreover, there is to notice, that this norm has not raised more serious objections throughout the history of the Church. In the face of the statement of the lawgiver, enclosed in the canon 900 § 1 of the 1983 Code of Canon Law, affirming that the minister of the Eucharist is a validly ordained priest alone, and keeping in mind that possibilities to confer the sacrament of ordination invalidly are limited, the subject matter of this article is focused on the conditions of the licit celebration of the Eucharist. Among these, there are: observing the provisions of the code norms and liturgical regulations, lack of impediments and irregularities, liberty from the Church penalties forbidding to celebrate sacraments, and finally abiding by the state of grace. Furthermore, it is to notice that an attempt of celebrating the Eucharist by a non ordained person the Church legislator coerces with the penalty latae sententiae, and the judgment of such a deed reserves to the jurisdiction of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. Being aware of the sacredness of the Eucharist and its crucial place in the life of the Church, in accordance with the secular tradition, the lawgiver in the canon 903 of the Code of Canon Law, has charged rectors of churches with the care of not permitting to celebrate the Eucharist to the impeded priests. For this purpose a rector may ask an unknown priest desiring to celebrate the Eucharist in his church, a letter of introduction from his ordinary, issued at least within the year; in case of lack of such a letter the priest may be permitted to celebrate the Eucharist also only on a base of a prudent judgment of the rector ascertaining that he is not impeded from celebrating.

In connection with noticed today decrease of meaning and number of par­ticipants of the Eucharistic celebration and disappearance its common and con­scious experiences, author of the article in searching inspirations to solve this situation appeals to the Early Christian tradition of the Alexandrian Catechetical School of the III-V century. In this, exactly, school belief in real presence of Christ in the celebration of the Holy Eucharist and awareness of its consequences was a key value. The faced problem is figured out at the three chapters: 1. Eucharist – a celebrated mystery. 2. The Alexandrian Catechetical School in work for modern school of Eucharist (talked through multiple statements, science about Eucharist of aspect of real presence, sacrifice and fruits of experience four most famous its leaders: Clement of Alexandria, Origen of Alexandria, Athanasius of Alexandria and Cyril of Alexandria); 3. The Eucharist and catechetical mission.

Homer a Eucharystia

100%
EN
An excerpt from the fifth book of the Iliad, in which Homer explains why gods are immortal, sheds light upon the famous passage in Ignatius of Antioch’s Letter to the Ephesians that defines the Eucharistic bread as ‘the medicine of im­mortality’. By implying that consumption of bread and wine is the cause of human mortality, Homer enables us to notice the revolutionary character of Eucharistic meal as presented by Ignatius: in the Eucharist the Christian dynamic of approa­ching eternal life not through ecstatic denial of human nature, but rather through its affirmation, finds its fullest expression.

The purpose of the article is to show the identity of the priest resulting from participation in the only priesthood of Christ and to indicate the main places of the priestʼs responsibility towards the Eucharist, of which he is the minister. The Church teaches that with the event of Jesus Christ, the Old Testament priesthood is replaced by the priesthood of Christ, and since then priests, by virtue of the ordained sacrament, exercise their office by participating in the only priesthood of Jesus Christ and exercise it in persona Christi Capitis. The ministerial priesthood becomes a special task to proclaim the Gospel and celebrate the Holy Sacraments. This task, responsibility, first and foremost relates to the mystery of the Eucharist, in which the ministry of priests finds its fullness. A dignified celebration of the Holy Sacrifice in the congregation of the faithful, care for respecting and deepening the awareness of the Sacrum Eucharist and receiving it in a state of sanctifying grace, these are the main places of responsibility of priests who, being ministers of the Eucharist, are especially responsible for it.

This article aims at presentation of an outline of a particular issue of the contemporary sacramental theology – Eucharist as the sacrament of non-violence attitude. The paper focuses on three major themes. Firstly I offer a short description of a Passover feast of Jesus with the Apostles in the Cenacle in the synoptic Gospels in order to show the New Testament context and Christ-oriented character of the analysed issue. The second part offers an analysis of a traditional notion of “the Sacrifice of the Holy Mass” understood as participation of believers in the sacrifice of thanksgiving offered by Christ to His Father in order to re-establish a new and everlasting Covenant between God and people. Celebration of Eucharist takes place in the attitude of rejection of all forms of violence and in the spirit of service, as it has been shown by the Lord. This is why in the last part of the paper I underline the existential-and-spiritual dimension, which for a believer is the foundation of non-violence attitude. Celebration of Eucharist in its very essence is a real entrance of a Christian into life of Christ. This means that a Christian is always the same person – be it during Eucharist, in every day life situations, during liturgy and situations of a testimony. Entire life of a Christian is gradually turned into Eucharist, from which non-violence rule springs out. The sacrament of Eucharist describes not only the rule of faith, but also the rule of conduct.

Starting from the difficulties in the reception of the Council’s teaching on the liturgy and its implementation, this article points to the need to discover the paschal mystery of Christ in the Eucharist. Because of the biblical and patristic-liturgical renewal and the re-emphasis on “mystery” in the twentieth century, the article introduces the concept of mystery in pagan cults and in the Church of the first centuries. The second part of the article, based John Paul II’s teaching on the Eucharist, shows the spiritual attitude towards the paschal mystery of Christ in the celebration of the Eucharist and considers the components of this attitude. At the same time, he takes into account signs and symbols and their functions in the interiorization of this mystery.

Abstract After 30 years of the event of Lima, there are still many important points of orientation and exciting chances for realisation of proposals from the past for ecumenism. The presentation examines what are chances and possibilities of the ecumenical circles regarding Lima Process after 30 years. Author states that the best thing for Churches is to sit together in ecumenical circles at many levels of Church life re-reading the actual Lima texts on Baptism, Eucharist and Ministry and asking each other in the light of the developments already accomplished in the last thirty years, which points of orientation might be especially relevant and which chances for realisation are realistic for us now in our given situation of today.

Christian faith is based on the mystery of the Holy Trinity which, therefore, plays an indispensable role in the understanding of the particular truths of faith. This statement refers also to the Eucharist. The New Testament, especially the Gospel of John, conveys an explicit depiction of the links between the Holy Trinity and the Eucharist. The New Testament tradition has found its continuation in theology, and it has been predominantly seen in the Eucharistic Prayers. This paper highlights certain Trinitarian aspects of the mystery of the Eucharist, in order to point out further possibilities, both for deepening the understanding of this mystery and for more integral incorporation of it into faith and Christian experience.

Research on the sequence Lauda Sion, Salvatorem dedicated to the Corpus Christi ceremony, allowed us to find and analyze over a dozen translations into Polish of this 13th century Latin pattern. It consists of 12 pairs of stanzas, with their parity – according to the poetics of the sequence – is emphasized by the conformity of a sound of the final verses of each pair of the stanza and the remaining verses are connected by adjoining rhymes, usually feminine, accurate, with aab + ccb scheme. We know most translators by name: Stanisław Grochowski, Jan Białobocki, Stanisław Serafin Jagodyński, Father Ignacy Hołowiński, Father Tadeusz Karyłowski, Jadwiga Gamska-Łempicka, Leopold Staff, several translations are anonymous. All Polish translations agree with the original on the content. However, differences appear in the form, structure of the poetic sequence, number of stanzas and in metrics. The common knowledge of the sequence Lauda Sion, Salvatorem, was probably the fruit of the great Eucharistic devotion in Poland, which was marked already in the 13th century, when the Church introduced the feast of Corpus Christi and lasted for the next centuries, up to the 20th century.

After the Post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation Amoris laetitia of the pope Francis there emerged many different, and sometimes conflicting, interpretations of the pastoral indications contained within the document. The question regards the admission to the sacrament of Eucharist for the divorced living in a new union. According to some authors, the document changes the sacramental discipline valid till now, while others see the continuity with the previous teaching of the Church on that matter. The essay analyses in particular the arguments in favor of the change, adding some critical notes, and comes to the conclusion that the problem calls for a further clarification.

The article is a short analysis of the theological teaching of Joseph Ratzinger. It is focused on the idea of the Jesus’ Cross. The first part of the text considers a following subject: if Jesus were to be separated from His Cross, sooner or later such a theology would become a heresy. Such a heterodox consequence can be found in almost every Christological heresy. Cardinal Ratzinger dis-cusses this kind of thinking which he meets in liberation theology, i.e. an ideo-logical movement promoted by Gustavo Gutiérrez mainly in South America and Africa. The second part of the article is concentrated on the theology of liturgy, especially on that of the Eucharist. Joseph Ratzinger seeks to prove that the Eucharist is not a feast, a banquet, or a collective meal. The main sense of the Eucharist can only be found in the Cross where the Eucharist reveals its identity as a Holy Sacrifice of Jesus Christ the Victim-Priest. In the conclusion the au-thor claims that one cannot understand Jesus Christ without His Cross, because it is upon the foundation of the Cross that the Holy Faith of the Church, the creed of the Church, is built.
