The Psalter to the Threshold of Eternity
The Psalter to the Threshold of Eternity

Summary/Abstract: Following the example of Jesus Christ and Paul of Tarsus, the Church has adopted the Psalms as its privileged prayer book. Some objections have been put forward against such poems because they belong to a given people, culture, and tradition. Thus author believes that something new is to be proposed and taught. First, the “I” of the author and the “I” of the community have to surrender to the “I” of the poem. Second, since the human being, created in God’s image and likeness, is placed at the centre of the universe, he can perform a cosmic liturgy in honour of God. In this way he becomes the representative of all humanity spread all over the world. Once he has collected all the voices of humanity he has to present them, as a pure sacrifice, to the heart of Christ.
