Liturgical theology – a manifestation of the Mystical theology of the Church. (A feature of Mystical theology, reflected in the Monography “The Eucharist – mysterium fidei – Mysterium vitae (liturgical study of the sacrament of the Eucharist“

Summary/Abstract: Mystical theology lies at the very foundation of liturgical theology, because it studies human experience of direct communion with God – an experience revealed and lived most fully in the liturgical life of the Church. The Liturgy is the place where mystical knowledge of God becomes reality through participation in the sacraments, and especially in the Eucharist. The life and work of God-Man are woven into the liturgical services, which recreate the unity between human time (“χρόνος“) and divine time (“καιρός“). In the sacraments, the two times merge, because the actions of Christ, performed once and for all, are made present “here and now“ in the Church’s Liturgy. Thus, the believer participates in God's eternity and in the very life of Christ. Mystical theology teaches that grace transforms created existence – through the action of the Holy Spirit, the bread and wine are sanctified and transformed; they become the Body and Blood of Christ, and the human person becomes a “new creation“ and a member of the Body of Christ – the Church. This transformation is the heart of Christian knowledge of God: the person does not simply learn about God, but truly unites with Him and becomes a participant in the God-Manhood of Christ. Liturgical theology continues this mystical tradition by showing that the sacraments are not merely external rituals, but a living confession of the Church’s faith. According to the principle Lex orandi, Lex credendi, Lex vivendi – the law of prayer, the law of belief, the law of life – prayer, faith, and life form a single expression of Christian truth. St. Basil the Great and St. John Chrysostom emphasize this by including in the Eucharistic prayers essential dogmatic truths about Christ and salvation. Even before the final formulation of the Creed, the Church professed its dogmatic teachings precisely through prayer. During the Middle Ages, the preservation of pure and true faith was made possible through the union of mystical theology and liturgical tradition, which together safeguarded the living connection between faith, spiritual experience, and the sacraments. The working hypothesis asserts that “Antiqua et Nova” is a valuable ethical-philosophical reference point, but its effectiveness depends on interreligious cooperation, a clear definition of AI, and practical mechanisms for implementation. The study also offers a series of futuristic scenarios in which possible interactions between religion, technology, and global governance unfold. In conclusion, conclusions and recommendations are formulated, oriented towards the transcendent humanization of technological progress. The main contribution of the study is the construction of an interdisciplinary, interreligious, and conceptually consistent framework for spiritual ethics in the age of algorithms.
