Formative dimension of catechesis, liturgical year

Abstract

The liturgical year is a celebration of the mystery of Christ in time. This is possible because God entered the history of the world. The Incarnation of the Son of God has begun the implementation of the heavenly Father's plan of salvation. It culminates in the death and resurrection of Christ. These actions are saving a single and unique event. Through the liturgy, they are made present. Their update is done not by repetition, or repetition, but through sacramental reenactment. "These arguments are various celebrations, and in each one followed by the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, which updates the only mystery" (CCC 1104). So abolish the liturgical year time distance from the events of our salvation. Through the liturgy, celebrated in the discipline of faith, these events are taking place "now". Thanks to a powerful liturgical year, because sanctifying, the potential formation. Its structure, centered around the Passover of Christ, brings the faithful theological content of this mystery and put them into this mystery more deeply, to personal and personal communion with Christ the Savior in His Church. The liturgical year helps to confront his life to the word of God, which always accompanies the liturgical celebrations. The liturgical rites and attitudes taught obedience to God and to become a free gift to others (cf. Gaudium et spes, 24). In the sacred action is present because the one who came to serve (cf. Mk 10:45). Experiencing the mystery of Christ in the rhythm of the liturgical year realizes the need, indeed the necessity, the radicalism of the Gospel, therefore, adherence to the cross of Christ, the hope of sharing in his resurrection and the life in God. This radicalism will manifest an attitude of constant conversion to God, the willingness to forgive others, and making a very difficult task, namely to love, because of Christ's enemies (cf. Lk 6,27-30).
