Mistagogia egzystencjalna Karla Rahnera a przepowiadanie słowa Bożego
Existencial Mystagogy of Karl Rahner and Proclamation of the Word of God

Summary/Abstract: After the Second Vatican Council, the Catholic Church pays more and more attention to mystagogy. Karl Rahner is a person who has contributed considerably to this. His appeal is to practice it in pastoral care, and a change in the method of transmitting the faith. It will disappear if people are not introduced into God's direct personal experience. Therefore, the Church, in her pastoral activity, can't limit herself to the exposition of Christian doctrine. She should show people the paths leading to life in union with God and accompany them in achieving the fullness of humanity. Also, the proclamation of the word of God is to be of a mystagogical character, that is, to reveal traces of God's presence in human reality, respond to the deepest spiritual needs of listeners and support people in making decisions about living in relationship with God. Rahner's concept of existential mystagogy doesn't negate the need for liturgical mystagogy but appeals for its close connection with everyday human existence.
