Summary/Abstract: In the light of new evangelization a question is raised up: How to consider the liturgyand its role in Christian life? The author is seeking for the answer on the basis of two principles: the first is the dialogue with the contemporary thought; the second is the reflection about the essence and the role of liturgy in the life of believers on the bases of new methods. The paper deals with the problems of liturgy in the light of Wittgenstein’s philosophy of language; the author presents Wittgenstein’s considerations on faith, at the same time he uses his approach to language and his concepts as method for the analysis of liturgy and its language. As such the paper is the original contribution to the dialogue with modern culture, at the same time it means new and effective questioning about the essence and quality of liturgy.
