Worship As Mystagogy, George W. Hoyer

Institute of Liturgical Studies Occasional Papers

(Excerpt)

God is the Great Mystagogue. That is inevitable because God is the Primal Mystery. Therefore the Basic Mystagogy is God's Self -revelation in time. And, when moved by God's "inciting and quickening Spirit," we worship, we exert a Personal Mystagogy.

Passages And Patterns Of Paschal Faith, Thomas A. Droege

Institute of Liturgical Studies Occasional Papers

(Except)

The Roman Catholic Rite for the Christian Initiation of Adults has been a marvelous instrument for facilitating liturgical renewal throughout the church. Its culmination in the celebration of the paschal feast has contributed mightily to making the Easter vigil the primary liturgical event of the church year. The rite has also helped us to recover the emphasis on the unitary nature of the sacraments of initiation: baptism-confirmation-communion, all celebrated in sequence at the paschal feast. The RCIA can also provide us a perspective from which to examine the formation and transformation of paschal faith. What makes it such a …

Lukan Easter Formation: Living Out The Resurrection, Edgar M. Krentz

Institute of Liturgical Studies Occasional Papers

(Excerpt)

We will discuss two types of Easter formation in the early church, with Acts and Luke as guides to our Easter mystagogy. The topic is in one sense natural for a New Testament scholar, since all writers of the New Testament begin theologically from the resurrected Christ, because a Christian's life-style (to use a modem shibboleth) is formed in the New Testament from the event of baptism, and because early Christian parenesis is essentially a realization of life under the Lordship of the Resurrected One. But it also brings some problems.

Luther's Enchiridion As Resource For Spiritual Formation, David G. Truemper

Institute of Liturgical Studies Occasional Papers

(Excerpt)

My purpose in this essay is to consider Luther's Small Catechism as a resource for the spiritual formation of the faithful. That aim brings with it a number of automatic consequences. First, it requires that I take into account also Luther's Large Catechism--that book of advice to pastors in the spiritual formation of Christians. Second, it requires that I invite you to pay attention to the original setting and intention of Luther in writing and publishing his catechisms at the end of the first decade of reformatory activity in Germany. Third, it requires that we consider the catechisms in …

Recovering The Spirit Of Mystagogy In The Contemporary Churches, Ronald J. Lewinski

Institute of Liturgical Studies Occasional Papers

(Excerpt)

The restoration of the catechumenate in the Roman Catholic tradition since the promulgation of the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) in 1972 has been a most surprising pastoral success. Given its size and complexity one might have predicted that the RCIA would simply be ignored or dismissed as irrelevant.

Rcia And The Formation Of Liturgical Piety, Gabe Huck

Institute of Liturgical Studies Occasional Papers

(Excerpt)

Here is what I think the "formation of liturgical piety" means. You will recognize at once, I believe, these words which in December 1988 will celebrate their 25th birthday, words taken from the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, the first work of Vatican II. In what seems to me to be the very clearest and most amazing statement of its own zeal for putting the renewal of the liturgy as its first and foundational work, the Council said:
