Liturgia das Horas, atualização de Cristo no ritmo do tempo: um estudo a partir do realismo zubiriano

Abstract

This present dissertation aims to highlight that the Pascal Mystery can only endure if it can be systematically updated according to specific times, as proposed by Jewish wisdom and adopted by Christianity as one of the most important inheritances from Israel. In this research, all data investigation and systematization were carried out through bibliographic analysis and in-depth studies, which led us to understand how the contemporary philosopher Xavier Zubiri, with his evolutionary philosophy, understood that updating means making a reality present in our intellect. We also concluded that if Christians are not convinced that faith also involves "feeling”, it will be impossible to live in such a way that their hearts and minds are updated in the mystery of Christ, starting from the sanctification of hours. Prayer is the path of resistance and coherent response. Additionally, we must not forget that communion with God contributes to preventing human beings from being carried away by relativism, aggravated by naive or inconsistent realism, leading us to believe that we are free and the protagonists of our destinies, while being guided by consumerism and advertising. We also note that human participation in liturgical actions contributes to the community diving deeper into the mystery of Christ. It is a recovery of the liturgylife dimension, as proposed by the Second Vatican Ecumenical Council
