Abstract: 'By her relationship with Christ, the Church is a kind of sacrament or sign of intimate union with God, and of the unity of all mankind. She is also an instrument for the achieving of such union and unity' (LG, n. 1). With these words the Second Vatican Council, which was convened by Pope John for the purpose of making the Church reflect on herself and acquire a new awareness of herself as a mystety of salvation, gives us a definition of the Church that is both existential and dyna- mic. Up to Vatican II most of the Church's teachings about herself were mostly conditioned by a static legalistic attitude and inspired by a certain preoccupation, not altogether unwarranted perhaps, CO protect both revealed truth and age-old institutions within her from dangerous doctrines and the impact of relativism. Now, however, that the Church has caught the signs of the times and has realized more than ever chat she is made up of men and for men, Vatican IT describes the Church of Christ in terms of the sacramental principle, which is basic in the present economy of salvation.1972-01-01T00:00:00ZThe Paschal mystery and the 'ordo baptismi parvulorum'https://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/282142018-03-24T02:29:22Z1972-01-01T00:00:00ZTitle: The Paschal mystery and the 'ordo baptismi parvulorum'
Abstract: Any attempt to treat about the paschal mystery and baptism cannot but take into account the various interventions of God in the history of the salvation of mankind. For, according to the designs of God, Christ was to be the mediator between sinful and redeemed humanity, the bridge over which mankind was to pass from death to life, from a state of bondage to that of the freedom of the children of God. It was Christ and his life's work - the paschal mystery: his passion, death and resurrection - which all the Old Testament salvific events prefigured and prepared for, and it is from the selfsame paschal mystery of Christ that salvation and sanctification derive their meaning, value and efficacy for all time.1972-01-01T00:00:00ZProblemi della concelebrazionehttps://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/282132018-03-24T02:29:26Z1972-01-01T00:00:00ZTitle: Problemi della concelebrazione
Abstract: La concelebrazione non e un problema per i fedeli, neppure per il maggiore numero dei sacerdoti nella cura delle anime. E invece un problema per tutte quelIe case dove un gruppo di sacerdoti si ttovano insieme, accostumati finora (cioe fin da! 1964) di dire le 'loro' Messe, ciascuno nel suo altaretto, senza fedeli, anzi spesso senza nessun ministrante.1972-01-01T00:00:00ZMelita Theologica : volume 24 : issue 1-2https://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/282082018-03-24T02:29:25Z1972-01-01T00:00:00ZTitle: Melita Theologica : volume 24 : issue 1-2
