Abstract
In this work the author gives an insight into the major
theological topics in the period of fifty years of the periodical
Divine Service, and points at their significance for the life
of Church. The work is divided into three parts. The first
part explains the initial liturgical-pastoral orientation of the
periodical in the context of the Second Vatican Council and
post council liturgical renewal. In the second part the author
analytically presents the four periods of the periodical, visible in
the periodical design and in shifting the theological emphases
from liturgical to pastoral and general theological issues. In that
central part of the work the author particularly points out the
contribution of Divine Service in efforts to carry out liturgical
renewal, to theologically deepen the faith, to give impulse to
pastoral and other initiatives in liturgical-catechetic and also
in sacramental practice, which has turned out to be important
for the life of Church with the Croats. The third part puts some
questions about theological vision of this liturgical-pastoral
review and possible changes that the author finds to be relevant
for the future of the periodical.
