Il presbiterio: forma comunionale della cura pastorale, ad immagine della Trinità

Abstract

According to the ecclesiological structure of Lumen Gentium, the people of God lives a communion of mysteric nature, in the image of the Trinitarian mystery. In analogue mode, the ordered ministry is mysterium, because it receives its ordo identity constituted by the sacrament. The taxis between the divine Persons provides the paradigm by which to interpret and live the ecclesial relations in general, especially those between the ordained ministers. The presbytery, as constitutive reality of the local Church, reveals the communional nature of pastoral care to the way of Christ.
