Abstract

The article refers to Pope Benedict XVI’s concern expressed in the Apostolic Exhortation Sacramentum Caritatis. The Pope puts emphasis on ars celebrandi which is to be duly performed by priests, deacons, and laymen.

Benedict XVI is also concerned about some parts of the liturgy of the Eucharist, among others, the liturgy of the Word. He also draws attention to active participation, inculturation and full appreciation of big and small celebration groups

According to the Holy Father, in order to make the Eucharistic celebration more perfect some initiative must be created to stimulate the growth of real faith in the Holy Eucharist. Thanks to these attempts the Holy Mass can be piously celebrated and intensively experienced.
