Литургија као символ
Liturgy as the symbol

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the liturgy is always the Kingdom, and it sets the main vector of the transformation of the world from the local Christian community gathering into the Kingdom. The criterion for the validity or quality of a truly efficient liturgy is the measure of how much the future state of the world, the eschatological reality of eternity and the kingdom is represented in our current temporal state. By other words, in the Liturgy the world gets its efficient (acting) interpretation in the perspective of the Human-Divine future that is going on to be actualised. Partof any organic system that is responsible for the future of this system, is referred by science as a centre, in opposition to the periphery, which provides the current status of the organism.The conscious participation in the liturgical transition during the Divine Eucharist presupposes a mature awareness of the liturgical conscience of the community.Liturgical consciousness allows members of the community to internalize together the highest notions and effectively implement their transition-ascension to the Kingdom. Without special liturgical consciousness none can properly use the liturgical symbols. Those symbols maintain the ontological link of the participants ofthe Liturgy with each other and with the God. The symbols make up the language of the actual communication of the liturgical community.
