Abstract

The human condition of being in the world is essentially revealed through language and under cultural, social and religious circumstances, paves the way for History over time. From such multiple perspectives, the liturgical act viewed ab initio promotes a symbolic and dialectical movement in Christian communities. In this sense, the literary word comes out as a valuable tool to metaphorically proclaim the Word. The article is intended to weave human words and the Word in the stretch liturgical tissue. Brought closely into focus, the concept of liturgy comes out as divinely inspired by the Vatican II and sheds new light on the Historia salutis.
