Summary/Abstract: This study refers to the participation of the faithful in the Liturgy as personal necessity and ecclesial event, as this issue is refl ected in the theological thought of Rev.Prof. Ene Branişte. Thus, in the introduction I referred to the personality and work ofRev. Prof. Ene Branişte. Secondly, I referred to the Liturgy as a special concern of Fr.Branişte. Next I examined the issue of participation in Holy Liturgy, as pastoral “diagnosis” as well as specifi c characteristics of the problem. Another section of this workaddresses the issue of participation in the Liturgy - between the danger of secularization and the need of renewal. The study concludes with some fi nal considerations.
