Sažetak
As part of the ecumenical colloquium during »The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity«, the author connected the subject of Christian »proclamation of the mighty works of the Lord« with the celebration of the sacred mysteries, the sacraments, and above all the Eucharist, and presented it in three parts. The first part discusses the problem of perception of »the mighty works of the Lord« in the context of understanding time, the past and present of God’s action, as well as the questions »to whom« and »how« to proclaim? The principal point of the second part is the theological postulate that the authentic celebration of the sacred mysteries, or sacraments, is actually an event of encountering Christ present in the community, and that its culmination is in the Eucharistic memorial celebration. The third part briefly describes two ecumenical documents that speak about the sacraments, in the part that speaks about the Eucharist. These are: Baptism, Eucharist and Ministry (BEM – »Document of Lima«) of the Faith and Order Commission, and: Faith, Sacraments and the Unity of the Church (»Document of Bari«) of the Joint International Commission for Theological Dialogue Between the Roman Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church. The conclusion calls for profound theological understanding of liturgical celebrations, above all the Eucharist, as the making present and the proclamation of »the mighty works of the Lord.«
