Ordo paenitentiae: „manual” of spirituality for christian community

Subject(s): Christian Theology and Religion
Published by: Księgarnia Świętego Jacka
Keywords: Christian spirituality; liturgical pedagogy; rite of penance; sacrament of reconciliation

Summary/Abstract: There are different ways and perspectives with which one can approach the liturgical book in order to grasp the full potentials and values contained therein. The author examines the Ordo Paenitentiae especially considering it as a „handbook” of spirituality for the Christian community. The goal is one of truly living the forgiveness and reconciliation. For this a set of pedagogical, theological, liturgical and pastoral attentions are to be activated before the celebration, but also during and after, so that the whole Christian life is sustained by a constant attitude of penance, which finds its synthesis really in its celebration.
