A Family in the sacred art of the city of Bieruń – case studies.

Grażyna Lasek — Sat, 21 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The aim of the study will be to examine two works from the early 21st century and to determine the layers of meaning and symbolism. Their author is the painter Roman Nyga. They are located in Bieruń. The first is a painting entitled The Holy Family placed in the parish church of St. Bartholomew the Apostle. The work symbolically conveys, among others, the beauty of love, community, faith. We can also encounter these issues in the square of the so-called St. Valentine's Square. In its center there is a column - the Monument of St. Valentine, Patron Saint of the City of Bieruń. The main access to the central point of the square is flanked by two low plinths, on both sides of which there are granite slabs with drawings and inscriptions: love - purity, let's do good, faith - prayer, grace - miracle. The research method adopted in this study combines the analysis of sacred art with a local historical background and a broader cultural perspective. The aim of the study is to isolate symbols and signs encoded in the works discussed and which co-determine their uniqueness in which the beauty of art conveys the beauty of deep faith and prayer.

Wyjątkowość antyfony introitalnej Suscepimus Deus z krakowskiego Missale plenarium AiBKKK Ms 3.

Maciej Kępczyński — Sat, 21 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The Missale plenarium AiBKKK Ms 3 is an example of an exceptionally rich and carefully produced liturgical book. The manuscript, housed in the Archives and Library of the Kraków Cathedral Chapter, was thoroughly examined by esteemed scholars during the International Conference Ad fontes Cathedralis Cracoviensis in 2022.
Among the numerous Gregorian pieces, the antiphon ad introitum Suscepimus Deus found in the manuscript deserves special attention. The uniqueness of this antiphon is defined by: its deep reflection of theological content in the gregorian melody, the fact of double neumatic notation within a single manuscript, and the lacuna present on one of the folios.

Opracowania Magnificat wybranych kompozytorów luterańskich XVII i 1. połowy XVIII wieku. Część 2: Kompozycje do tekstu niemieckiego i kompozycje organowe

Piotr Herok — Sat, 21 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0000

In this article, the author examines the arrangements of the Magnificat canticle of selected Lutheran composers of the 17^thand the first half of the 18^th century, focusing on the works to the German text as well as on the organ compositions. In the introductory part, the author briefly presents the characteristics of the use of the Magnificat with the German text in the Protestant liturgy and its distinctive features compared to the Magnificat with the Latin text. Then, the compositions to the German text by M. Praetorius and H. Schütz are analyzed. In the next step, the author presents the Magnificat works for organ, focusing first on the history of their development, and then giving examples of compositions by D. Buxtehude and J. Pachelbel. The final conclusions emphasise, on the one hand, the relationship in the field of musical rhetoric between the studied compositions and compositions to the Latin texts, and, on the other, their convergence with Martin Luther's theological views on the Virgin Mary.

Title: Musical Frameworks of Collective Memory: The Unknown Catalog of Emil Hiller from the Lutheran Parish of St. Mary Magdalene in Wrocław

Abstract

The article examines the previously unknown catalog of musical works compiled by E. Hiller, the cantor of the Lutheran parish of St. Mary Magdalene in Breslau (Wrocław) at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. This source, preserved in the State Archives in Wrocław, provides valuable insights into the musical repertoire of the parish, which included compositions by both Protestant and Catholic composers. The catalog documents the collection used in worship services and concerts, illustrating how repertoire selection shaped the identity of the local community. The concept of collective memory, as developed by M. Halbwachs, is employed to demonstrate music’s role as a tool for constructing and preserving cultural and religious traditions. The study also takes into account the musical holdings of St. Christopher’s Church, which was affiliated with the same parish. The analysis of musical sources from both churches, in the context of E. Bohn’s publications, offers a deeper understanding of the history of musical life in this community, the phenomenon of musical ecumenism in Breslau, and the relationship between liturgical repertoire and parish identity.

Key words: music catalog; Emil Hiller; Lutheran parish of St. Mary Magdalene; church music; collective memory; ecumenism; Breslau.

Jacek Nowak — Sat, 21 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The study “Liturgical Itinerary after Jerusalem” aims to show this city not only as learning about places associated with salvation events, but also with the emergence of certain forms of liturgical ritual. On the basis of sources and other publications, such liturgical sites and forms as: 1. the Cenacle; 2. the Basilica of the Holy Sepulcher, and in it: Presentation of the Lord, Good Friday, Anniversary of the dedication of the church, catechumenate, mystagogical catechesis; 3. Palm Sunday procession; 4. Archetype of Easter processions; 5. Basilica of the Tomb of Mary (Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary); 6. Church of St. Anne (Nativity of Mary); 7. Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary (November 21). Learning about these places makes one not just look at them historically, but see them as salvific events actualized in liturgical celebration.

Forms of Mass for the Jubilee Year

Dawid Makowski — Sat, 21 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The presented article presents the theology of the prayers of the new Mass formularies intended for use in the Jubilee Year. They are a special kind of oration, pointing to the importance of the Holy Year in the life of the Church, which is quite strongly based on the importance of the Christian understanding of hope. This article aims to highlight the multifaceted nature of the new Mass forms, while emphasizing their connection to the theme of the Jubilee. Therefore, the text is divided into three parts, treating the three new forms in turn. This allows one to perceive the theological thought contained in these orations, and thus to celebrate the liturgy more consciously. This is because it is the center of the Church's faith.

Udział osób homoseksualnych w życiu liturgicznym Kościoła

The Participation of Homosexual Persons in the Liturgical Life of the Church: The Doctrinal Guidelines of Joseph Ratzinger and the New Pastoral Proposals of Pope Francis

The author of the article presents the evolution of pastoral care for homosexual persons in light of the Church's most recent documents, with particular attention to their participation in liturgical life. The doctrinal foundations of pastoral care for homosexual individuals were formulated by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger in the 1986 letter of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Homosexualitatis problema. A new shape of this pastoral care is proposed by Pope Francis in the 2023 declaration Fiducia supplicans.

A comparative analysis of these and other documents leads to the conclusion that, although the Church's position on the phenomenon of homosexuality has not changed, a more open pastoral approach towards homosexual individuals has been developed. This approach ensures greater participation in the liturgical life through the introduction of the possibility of blessing homosexual couples within the context of popular piety. The explanation of the form, meaning, and purpose of this blessing helps to better understand Pope Francis' pedagogical intuition, which does not conflict with the teachings of Joseph Ratzinger but rather develops them in the pastoral field.

Uwielbienie w liturgii i poza liturgią

Waldemar Bartocha — Sat, 21 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0000

W odniesieniu do nabożeństw uwielbienia nie posiadamy żadnego ordo. Nie ukazał się dotychczas żaden dokument, który by szczegółowo regulował kwestie związane z celebracją tego rodzaju nabożeństw. Ukształtowały się natomiast pewne zwyczaje. Jedni traktują różne formy oddawania czci i chwały Boga jako adorację, inni bardziej umiejscawiają je w kontekście wydarzeń ewangelizacyjnych. Artykuł stanowi próbę udzielenia odpowiedzi na pytanie, gdzie można byłoby zakwalifikować fenomen nabożeństw uwielbienia. Zdaniem Autora artykułu pozaliturgiczne formy oddawania czci i chwały Bogu sytuują się w kluczu pobożności ludowej, której „źródłem jest stała i czynna obecność Ducha Świętego w społeczności kościelnej, a jej punktem odniesienia – tajemnica Chrystusa, natomiast celem „uwielbienie Boga i zbawienie ludzi” (Kongregacja ds. Kultu Bożego i Dyscypliny Sakramentów, Dyrektorium o pobożności ludowej i liturgii. Zasady i wskazania, nr 61). Autor odwołując się do dokumentów Magisterium Kościoła wskazuje na pewne kryteria teologiczne i duszpasterskie, które mogą stanowić cenną pomoc zarówno dla celebrujących jak i uczestników w zharmonizowaniu nabożeństw uwielbienia z rytmem i wymaganiami liturgii tak, aby uwielbienie Boga zarówno w liturgii, jak i poza nią prowadziło do życia, które będzie uwielbieniem.

The title The title of church. A canonical-liturgical reflection

Jerzy Adamczyk — Sat, 21 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0000

This article deals with the title of a church from a canonical-liturgical point of view. The custom of giving churches a title dates back to Christian antiquity. From the fourth century onwards, when consecrating churches, they were given a special title, thereby placing them under the special protection of some saint or the Saviour himself. The ecclesiastical legislator attaching great importance to the title of a church stipulates that "every church should have a title which, after the consecration of the church, cannot be changed". Churches may have as their title the Blessed Trinity, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Angels, the Saint. Without the approval of the Holy See, a church may not be given the title of a blessed whose celebration is not yet legally recorded in the diocesan calendar. In certain situations, however, the title of a church may be changed, with the consent of the Holy See. Also, when merging and abolishing parishes, the new parish may have a different title from the parish church.

Anamnetyczna obecność Chrystusa w liturgii Kościoła

Paweł Korsan — Sat, 21 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Jesus Christ is present in various ways in the liturgy of the Catholic Church with his deeds and words. In the cultic context of the Church, salvation events become present. Anyone who participates in a liturgical celebration can experience an encounter with the true God and receive sanctification. In theology, the manner of this presence of the saving events and of God Himself is called liturgical anamnesis – a presence that happens through the Holy Spirit. Whether in
a single liturgical action, a particular celebration, or in the space we call the liturgical year, Jesus Christ awaits. Thus, by participating in the liturgy, one experiences what is divine, supernatural and salvific with the help of signs and symbols, and thanks to the senses one can enter and experience salvific events in one's own way.
