The Cultural Dimension of Liturgical Formation

Summary/Abstract: The author of the article reflects on the problem of renewing and reviving the traditional relationship between the liturgy and culture, the condition of which seems to be the appropriate liturgical formation of the contemporary faithful. Liturgy, under- stood as worship offered to God by people, is part of human culture. It is the liturgy that is a special example of the inculturation of Christianity, which has continued uninterruptedly throughout its history. Today, this process requires taking up new challenges in the face of the crisis of contemporary culture, which has weakened its links with religion. Contemporary man has lost the ability to understand the symbol- ic language of the liturgy. That is why Pope Francis in his letter Desiderio desideravi points to the need for in-depth liturgical formation of the faithful. Such formation, which will allow the faithful to grasp the timeless message of the liturgy, will also en- able them to shape it with the use of new cultural codes. In this way, liturgical formation can play an important role in renewing the link between culture and liturgy, so that the liturgy can continue to form and enrich culture while drawing on its heritage.
