Abstrakt: | The article’s contents faces the issue associated with liturgical proclamation
(preaching a homily) based on eschatological texts that are constructed on the richness of their
syntactic-semantic meaning and theological and pragmatic contents. Just as achieving the desired
results requires using the adequately chosen method of proceedings, so too the good, that is, theologically
deep preparation of the homily can be achieved by the appropriate method of interpreting
texts, treated as an inspirational source for liturgical proclamation. The intent of the study
was to draw attention to the need to explain in homilies the wealth of the contents of eschatological
texts (not just biblical texts included in the Mass readings in a given liturgical celebration).
This is done for the benefit of using the methods of interpreting literary texts, which also includes
the texts of the prayers of a particular Mass. The proposal contained in the article mentions
the historical-critical method, which makes it possible to read the text according to the diachronic
key that accurately acquaints us with the linguistic method (by theoretical description and reference
to the example). This allows us to examine the text according to synchronous keys, subjecting
it to syntactic, semantic and pragmatic analyses. An attempt to be more sensitive to the
need to work on the contents of homilies based on the hermeneutic method discussed in the
article is all the more timely since liturgical theology methods have already existed for some
time. It is also worth using them based on homiletics and in the preparation of the homily to be
preached during the liturgy, since the theological aspect should play an important role in homiletic
preaching. |
