Summary/Abstract: This paper deals with the animation of the liturgy. The general idea of animation is presented initially followed by a description of the animation of liturgy. Liturgical animation is a process which needs to be managed by a group of people: some of them participate in the animation directly and the others indirectly. The animateur, who is in charge of the liturgical celebration, plays an especially important role. He or she, along with others, develops the project and program of the liturgical celebration and then directs the process of its complete preparation. Animateurs of liturgy must have, of course, adequate qualities and abilities. After the realization of the liturgical celebration, an evaluating process has to follow, which has both immediate and later phases. The evaluation of the course of the liturgical celebration helps the animateur ensure the liturgy will be a celebration of the whole assembly, open for the activity of the Holy Spirit and thus fruitful, as well.
