PRAYERS OVER THE PEOPLE OF ASH WEDNESDAY AND SUNDAYS OF LENT IN THE MISSAL OF PAUL VI. A HISTORICAL AND THEOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE

Summary/Abstract: This article presents the issue of Lenten prayers over the people (orationes super populum).The new Roman Missal of 2008 includes (as does the Missal of 2002) a greater numberof these orations to accompany the Mass forms of the Lenten Season. As the Church in Poland has been awaiting the publication of this Missal in Polish for many years, the theological and historicalsignificance of these orations, which will soon see the light of day in Polish, has been approximat-ed. The aim of the study thus became an attempt to reach the sources of these texts while empha-sising their theological value. The article has thus been divided into two thematic parts, treating inturn the theological and historical aspects of the subject under discussion. This makes it possibleto see how the Church combines new and old texts in the liturgical books currently in force.
