Abstract(s)
O processo da iniciação cristã aparece, especialmente no século IV, como instância fundamental para a formação e transformação dos aspirantes ao batismo. Disto era consciente S. Ambrósio de Milão que, na sua preocupação pastoral, se dedicou à formação dos catecúmenos que estavam próximos de receber os sacramentos da iniciação cristã. Deste modo, as suas catequeses mistagógicas – De Sacramentis e De Mysteriis – dão a conhecer não só os conteúdos e o sentido da liturgia batismal na explicação dos ritos e sacramentos recebidos, mas, sobretudo, a metodologia usada pelo nosso autor para transmitir toda a riqueza catequético-litúrgica da Tradição da Igreja. Assim, tais obras aparecem como o cume de todo o processo de iniciação cristã, apresentando uma grande riqueza catequética, litúrgica, teológica, moral, exegética e espiritual, muito esclarecedora e válida para os nossos dias. É nesta perspetiva que estudaremos as obras referidas, observando os seus vários elementos, dentro do contexto catecumenal, definindo este contexto e as suas caraterísticas, sempre sob a perspetiva litúrgico-catequética.
The process of Christian initiation appears, especially in the fourth century, as a fundamental instance for the formation and transformation of aspirants to baptism. St. Ambrose of Milan was aware of this, who, in his pastoral concern, devoted himself to the formation of catechumens who were about to receive the sacraments of Christian initiation. In this way, his mystagogical catechesis – De Sacramentis and De Mysteriis – make known not only the contents and meaning of the baptismal liturgy in the explanation of the rites and sacraments received, but, above all, the methodology used by our author to transmit all the catechetical-liturgical richness of the Church‟s Tradition. Thus, these works appear as the culmination of the entire process of Christian initiation, presenting a great catechetical, liturgical, theological, moral, exegetical and spiritual richness, very enlightening and valid for our days. It is in this perspective that we will study the aforementioned works, observing their various elements, within the catechumenal context, defining this context and its characteristics, always from a liturgical-catechetical perspective.
