Lex orandi – lex credendi. The conversion of secularised people to the Eucharist

  • Reinhard Thöle

摘要

The principle “Lex orandi – lex credendi” dates back to the 5th century and is attributed to the theologian Prosper Tiro of Aquitaine. This combination, which is still in use today, seems to be a mutual reflection of the two elements of prayer and faith, which are intensely connected with each other. This principle can also be used as a diagnosis in the history of theology and liturgy. However, it should not be overlooked that lex orandi precedes lex credendi. This means that prayer is the key and the path to faith.
