EKLEZJOLOGIA LITURGICZNA PSALMU 118 (117) W UROCZYSTOŚCI, ŚWIĘTA I WSPOMNIENIA ŚWIĘTYCH PASTERZY

Psalm 118 (117) is very important in Liturgical celebrations in honor of saints were Pastors: St. Clement Mary Hofbauer (the 15th March), St. Simon of Lipnica (the 18th July), St. John of Capestrano (the 23th October). This Psalm is connected with the lecture of I Cor 5:14-20 in the liturgy of the Word. The St. Paul’s Letter contains a call to the ministry in response to the love of Christ in His passion, death and resurrection. The liturgical ecclesiology is an ecclesiology resulting from the liturgical texts and the liturgical celebration. Psalm 118 (117) shows the Church in context of the saints Pastors witness, the dynamism of their activities and the impact on all the baptized. The ministry and mission of the pastors develops a sense of humility and realism, but also the courage and fortitude in the proclamation of salvation and in the ministry of the sacraments. The ministry of saints Pastors presents the Church as a place of thanksgiving for the gift of God and people. The Church as a community the joy of salvation is reflected by taking the trouble of searching the way of life in the midst of many difficulties, conversion and the impact of faith on the life of the world and dedication to the sick and suffering. The Church is recognized by the signs of the gate, the altar, the sources of living water, processions, pilgrimages. The Church is shaped by awareness of pilgrimage and transience, a sense of responsibility and commitment, and cooperation with others. Community built on Christ in the Church exists because of faithfulness, trust and enthusiasm in spite of sometimes rejection.
