Summary/Abstract: Joseph Ratzinger opted for the prayer towards east. Arguments given by him werenot in fact liturgical but have been presenting implications between a defi nite liturgicalcelebration and the dogmatic truths.The article analyzes Joseph Ratzinger’s selected grounds in the topic, showing thistheologian’s innovatory way of thinking, his merging Churche’s lex orandi and lex credendi.The matter of prayer toward east is still, though 50 years after the II Vatican Council,current and located in contemporary theological refl ection. This particular and versatile direction in prayer during the liturgy can contribute to the discovery of Churche’s prayertreasury and become an element of a grave ecumenical dialog.
