Reflection on the Third Chapter of the Council Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy

Abstract

This article presents the Council’s teaching on sacramentals. They are a special kind of aid that prepares the faithful for the fruitful reception of the sacraments of the Church, which constitute a certain "peak" of the sacramentals. This publication is devoted to this subject in view of the 60th anniversary of the publication of the Council Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, which indicated the direction of the renewal of the sacramentals. The assumptions of this renewal from the theological point of view are shown in the first part of the work. The second part of the paper presents the resulting modification of the rites, whose current form - on the example of the blessing of the bride - was approximated in the third part of the article. The whole was crowned with a summary, the result of a reflection on the Council’s teaching on these means of glorifying God and sanctifying individual aspects of human life.
