Summary/Abstract: Liturgical mystery, intimate significations claimed by Divine Liturgy need to be apprehended for facilitating the birth of experience act, thirst of living what we hear. If we don’t understand (not necessary logical), we can not live the liturgical meanings, and without living in this way, we can’t understand them. Living has as theological premise the apprehension, interpretation of liturgical acts and canons. The hermeneutic practice (having the meaning of askisis) on the text of Divine Liturgy has the virtue to make us immune to wave of “liturgical crisis” which infest nowaday society. This kind of hermeneutic askisis charter us Î.P.S. Bartolomeu. Cartea deschisă a Împărăţiei. O însoţire liturgică pentru pentru preoţi şi mireni (The opened book of Kingdom. A liturgical convoy for priest and laics) is a well medicine/remedy for the subjects of liturgical boredom. It has the power to regenerate the liturgical instancy and function in ourselves. Written in fresh manner, approaching frontal the text of Liturgy, being fascinating in its speech and expression, Cartea deschisă a Imparăţiei has truly the virtue to bring us into the liturgical Kingdom. Internal architecture of this hermeneutic study on Divine Liturgy has marvellous coherence and beauty. The poetical form couples with the liturgical base while the aphoristic saying neighbours with theological speech.
