THE PASTORAL ACTIVITY OF THE DOMINICANS IN THE ARCHDIOCESE OF LVIV IN THE INTERWAR PERIOD. RECONNAISSANCE OF RESEARCH
Summary
This article gives an outline of the Domenican parish ministry in the Roman-Catholic Archdiocese of Lviv in 1918-1939, where 9 Dominican monasteries and the same parishes were located. Three parishes was incorporated into the monastery of Lviv. Polish Province of Dominican Order had got the most of the parish in the archdiocese of Lviv. Two parishes were transferred to the diocesan clergy in the second half of the 30 of the twentieth century. An important element in the pastoral care of the parish was parish catechesis in schools and outside them. Parish work was also accompanied by a variety of special pastoral care. Here I discussed only Marian shrines that worked at the Dominican parishes through which parishes are better developed. Other forms of pastoral special (brotherhoods and religious associations and work among students and intellectuals) has been omitted here, because they require separate studies. The pastoral activity intermingled typical folk devotions, the cult of relics and saints and more complex intellectual formation, aiming to deepen their religious knowledge. In all these activities preaching was essential. The article revealed research capabilities, as well as the state mainly from sources preserved in the collections of the Archives of the Polish Province of the Dominican Order in Cracow.

During the Second World War many Polish clericals and laics were displaced to the Soviet Union mostly because of deportation. Their faith and belief, directly determining the way of their lives as displaced people, became phenomena in the whole history of the Catholic Church.

THE FIRST HENRI LACORDAIRE CONFERENCE IN THE PARIS CATHEDRAL.
Summary
The famous „les Conferences de Notre-Dame” also known as „les Conferences de Careme” are still very important for the religious life in France. They are addressed to the intelligence and delivered on all Sundays of the Lent in the Notre-Dame in Paris. The beginning was initiated by Henri Dominique Lacordaire (1802–1861), one of the greatest French preachers. The article presents the beginning of the work and analyses the first conference given by Lacordaire on 8 March 1835. The first full Polish translation of the conference is attached to the article because only fragmentary translations of the conference have been known before.

TRADITION OF SINGING BEFORE AND AFTER A SERMON IN COLLECTIONS OF CHURCH HYMNS IN UPPER SILESIA IN THE 19TH AND 20TH CENTURY.
Summary
The songs related to the proclamation of the word of God belong to the oldest ones in the Polish language and form a group of so-called „sermon songs”. They were helpful in the active participation in the liturgy of the Eucharist when it was celebrated in Latin. Especially in the XIX and XX centuries, the tradition of their performance, in and out of the liturgy, was very alive also in Silesia. The old Polish sources of Church songs show an extensive collection of songs intended to be sung before and after a sermon. In the actual repertory of Church songs there are more than a dozen of them. Regarding the theological content of these songs sung before the sermon are the beseeching prayers for the light of the Holy Spirit and God’s wisdom for the preacher and listeners. When they are sung after the sermon, they are a begging for God’s help for the fulfillment of the teaching. Nowadays, the importance of these songs is decreasing and this process is related to the Second Vatican Council’s liturgical reform which underlines the function of the homily and the continuity of the Liturgy of the Word. However, in these circumstances it seems to be still possible to maintain the tradition of singing and imploring the grace of the Holy Spirit.

VON DER THEOLOGISCH-PASTORALEN PROBLEMATIK DER FIRMUNG.
Zusammenfassung
Die sakramentale Pastoralpraxis hat sich im Laufe der Jahrhunderte geändert und nahm verschiedene Formen an. Es betrifft auch das Firmsakrament, vor dem die letzte konziliare Liturgiereform relativ große theologische und pastorale Aufgaben gestellt hat. Es scheint, dass die theologische ReflexionbezüglichderFirmungbisherkeinevollständigeundvertiefte Erörterung bekommen hat. Es gibt da viele Ungewissheiten und Unklarheiten. Das beeinflusstdiepastoralePraxis,dieoftdertheologischenReflexionvoranging.DiePraxis hat sehr häufigdietheologischenKonzeptionenerzwungenunderfordert,undessollte eigentlich umgekehrt sein.
Im vorliegenden Aufsatz wurden die konziliaren theologischen Grundzüge des Firmsakramentes und deren verschiedener pastoral-liturgischen Konsequenzen dargestellt. Eine der theologischen Hauptwahrheiten ist der enge Zusammenhang der Firmung mit den anderen Initiationssakramenten (Taufe und Eucharistie). In der Lehre und Praxis darf man sie nie trennen. Die pastoralen Konsequenzen sind folgende: die Reihenfolge der Spendung dieser Sakramente, das optimale Alter der Firmkandidaten, die Eucharistie und nicht die Firmung ist ein Sakrament der christlichen Reife (der Reifeprozess endet mit dem Viatikum – die letzte Eucharistie im Leben), grundsätzlich soll der Firmling keinen neuen Namen beziehen (die Taufe ist wichtiger, und Firmung ist nur ihre Ergänzung).

DAS SAKRAMENT DER FIRMUNG BEI GEISTIG BEHINDERTEN.
Zusammenfassung
Die Sakramente spielen im Kirchenleben eine besondere Rolle und können aus dogmatischer und pastoraler Sicht betrachtet werden. In der Katechese wird der Schwerpunkt darauf gelegt, auf den Empfang der Sakramente vorzubereiten. Im Schulunterricht stehen die Sakramente der christlichen Initiation und die Vorbereitung auf die Buße und die Versöhnung im Vordergrund. Die übrigen Sakramente sind Gegenstand der in vielfältiger Weise durchgeführten Erwachsenenkatechese.
Es ist von Bedeutung, auch geistig Behinderte auf den Sakramentempfang vorzubereiten. In der Katechese wird ein großer Wert darauf gelegt, die geistig Behinderten vor allem auf das Sakrament der Eucharistie und Buße vorzubereiten. Es sei jedoch zu überlegen, diese Personen auch auf den Empfang der Firmung vorzubreiten. Vor diesem Hintergrund ist es notwendig, sich die Bedeutung dieses Sakraments im Leben der geistig Behinderten bewusstzumachen und entsprechende Arbeitsmethoden bereitzustellen.

PASTORAL RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE PRIMATE OF POLAND WŁADYSŁAW ŁUBIEŃSKI IN PERSPECTIVE OF THE ENLIGHTENMENT

AN EXAMPLE OF SERMONS AT THE TURN OF THE 19TH AND 20TH CENTURIES

IL SACRAMENTO DELLA CRESIMA IERI E OGGI.
Riassunto
Nell’arco della storia delle celebrazioni liturgiche, effettuate nella Chiesa autorizzata da Gesu a proclamare la parola di Dio e amministrare i sacramenti in tutto il mondo, si e svolto un cambiamento della pratica di celebrare la cresima e – in consegenza – del modo di intenderla e interpretarla pastoralmente. Infatti, dall’imposizione delle mani degli apostoli mandati in una citta della Samaria, per stenderle sui neofitiinsegnodelcompimentodell’opera iniziata con il loro battesimo, amministrato dal diacono Filippo, si e passato nella storia della liturgia della Chiesa occidentale all’uso dell’olio con cui nel periodo precedente il vescovo cospargeva il capo dei cresimandi, ora invece unge con esso la loro fronte, segnandola con il segno della croce. Dalla pratica di cresimare i neofiti subito dopo il battesimo e prima della loro partecipazione all’eucaristia, si e passato a cresimare i cristiani gia ammessi all’eucaristia, provocando in tal modo uno spostamento nell’interpretazione teologica del sacramento studiato. La Chiesa di oggi rimane erede di questi cambiamenti, interpretando ancora e praticando la cresima come sacramento della maturita cristiana. Nell’articolo sopra presentato si e voluto documentare i passaggi avvenuti nella storia delle celebrazioni liturgiche e nel pensiero teologico-sacramentario della Chiesa, attraverso il riferimento alle adeguate testimonianze bibliche, patristiche e liturgiche.
