Summary/Abstract: All words, things, activities we are used in liturgy should prepare us to personally contact with God in transcendental dimension. In that point of view, the liturgy as tempus et locus of education, shows us that real belonging to Jesus Christ has created a new personality, a new consciousness, a new sense of confidence of himself. The mystery of human, according to Vaticanum Secundum doctrine, shows us the Mystery of Incarnation Word (compare Lumen gentium, n. 22). Because of education, including especially liturgical education, a human being must identify himself as a subject and person. The man has, not only, a part in Jesus Christ life, but the first of all, in His mission. He must remember to be His witness, to live according Jesus advises, to accept the Gospel truth and try to reach a sanctity by realizing his humanity. Jesus Christ, present in His Church especially in liturgical ritual, becomes a place when express an activity of God sanctifying a man and activity a human adoring a God. As we can see, only a human have an ability to know himself, to control the situation, to share himself with the others people and make a community with the other human being. The man, thanks to grace of God, is called to make an alliance of his Creator.
