COMMON PRAYER AS THE PRAYER OF THE FAITHFUL (Modlitwa powszechna jako modlitwa wiernych)

The author of the article also cites some liturgists who considered common prayer a separate part of the Holy Mass between the liturgy of the word and the liturgy of the Eucharist. Other liturgists distinguish the liturgy of love in the Holy Mass that consists of common prayer and preparation of the offertory - the spiritual and material gifts. Although these conceptions have not been accepted, they shed important light on the essence of common prayer. A careful and profound preparation of common prayer is an important task for liturgical formation.
