For the Master of Ceremonies of the Holy Father, the liturgy is inherently linked to spirituality, this is reflected in the nominations and the considerations of Pope Benedict XVI on the issue. In this interview exclusive Gaudium Press in Rome, Monsignor Guido Marini speaks of reform, the justification e la fedeltà liturgica. N. B. Traduzione nostra.
Gaudium Press - In che modo la Chiesa cattolica comprende la liturgia dopo il Concilio Vaticano II? Il Santo Padre durante il suo recente viaggio in Inghilterra, nella cattedrale di Westminster ha parlato l'entità del sacrificio.
Penso che ci siano due aspetti della celebrazione eucaristica, in cui uno deve essere collegato agli altri. Infatti, come dicono i documenti del Magistero, la Messa è il rinnovamento del sacrificio del Signore e nello stesso tempo, è anche il tempo, il luogo in cui viene comunicato il sacrificio a noi attraverso il segnale conviction. So I think there are two elements, both fundamental to the understanding of the Eucharistic celebration. I also believe that the sacrificial dimension is a dimension of the foundation. Because if there were no redeeming sacrifice, there would be no opportunity to make this sacrifice, and so enter into communion with the salvation that has been given by our Lord Jesus I think this is the vision that the Church spread through his teaching, and that brings us to the very heart of the liturgy.
GP - The Holy Father also refers to the question of justification. Siempre hablo sobre liturgy, always talking about liturgy, how the Catholic Church presents the question of justification in Christ?
In the field of liturgy, because once again, presents, present the mystery of salvation, that is, the Lord died and rose for us, is also presented as the moment of justification of 'humanity and mankind. Because we know that man is saved only by virtue of this mystery of death and resurrection. Of course, after each must be appropriate personally, subjectively, this justification was given. So I think both aspects are important, essential to participate in the liturgy. On the one hand is a gift, which is the gift of salvation, and hence the mystery that is renewed. In addition, this gift should be, however, welcomed in one's life and life to become life. Then, there is always the relationship between gift and responsibility, justification and reasons for the life of the host.
GP - The then Professor Ratzinger in his writings speaks of reform, the reform of the liturgy. How do you see this demand for reform, changes in the liturgy? In fact, some changes have already been introduced by Pope Benedict XVI.
sometimes when you spoke with and has used the term "reform of the reform is likely to be" misunderstood. "Since not everyone understands the same and not everyone wants to figure out the same way. I believe that in addition to those sentences, what is important is that the reform of Vatican II began to be fully implemented in a comprehensive way, according the teachings of the Council, who put the liturgy in all its continuity with tradition and at the same time with the approach of an organic development. The real benefit of the reform after Vatican II is not always happy. Exactly why is that you may need to make changes, alterations, some improvement, only to act in a comprehensive manner with the guidelines of the Council and make so it looks more and more evident with the development of the liturgy of the Church that is in organic continuity with his predecessor.
GP - One of the indications of Vatican II, not realized in practice, it was the desire of the liturgical movement in the Church, especially in Germany and France. Now, how is this need in the liturgical service?
The Pope himself, still a cardinal, had wanted a new liturgical movement which would create the conditions, bases, inner development, deepening of the liturgical life of the Church. Así fue como antes of Vatican II. Just as it was before Vatican II. Here too there are different ways of see, to extend the relationship between the liturgical movement, before the Council, the liturgical movement that continues to interest more significantly, perhaps rinnovato.Penso that the liturgical life of the Church knows a bloom, if there is a ground , which is able to flourish. I think it's important to love the liturgy and also live with fidelity to the directives of the Church, to become, somehow, the great liturgical movement which can then bear fruit for the Church's liturgical life.
GP - The Holy Father during his general audience on Sept. 29 said that "The liturgy is a great school of spirituality." What about the Pope? I think he meant
say that Christian spirituality is born from the liturgy and the liturgy is growing. I think that spirituality is inconceivable outside the context of the liturgical year. Just because it is the liturgy, from which we have the grace that saves us, and in the liturgy that we grow in the grace that saves us. We found the living Lord, present in the Church, active in his church so high, right in the liturgy. So if this is missing, really missing the source of strength for any spirituality. A true spiritual life, an increase of spiritual life, a deeply spiritual way, is possible only in connection with the liturgy.
