λειτουργία denotes all the religious acts and activities of worship performed by Christians during the worship service and in life. The aim of this study was to determine the nature of the interactive relationship between the liturgy of the worship service and the liturgy of a Scripture driven life. The central theoretical argument of the study was that this relationship is dynamic and transforming. Basic theoretical perspectives were formulated in Section A. The comprehensive conclusion attained in this section was that the liturgy of the worship service and the liturgy of life is an undividable unit consisting of differentiate elements. Meta-theoretical perspectives were formulated in Section B. These principles were drawn from research done relating to postmodernism, the effects of the post-94 transformation in South Africa on previously advantaged South African Christians and empirical research. The perspectives indicated that the praxis of life impacted directly on the liturgy of the worship service. The conclusions reached in both Sections A and B lead to the final conclusion that the nature of the interactive relationship between the liturgy of the worship service and the liturgy of life is dynamic and transforming. It was further indicated by the research that the interactive relationship between the liturgy of the worship service and the liturgy of life reflected the broken reality of our sin-corrupted world. Hence an adjusted practical theory and accompanying practical theoretical model were developed to aid the alignment of the praxis as indicated by the meta-theoretical perspectives with the Scriptural ideal purported by the basis theoretical principles. / Thesis (Ph.D. (Liturgics))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2008.

It encourages communities to celebrate the Paschal Mystery of Christ that involves their lives, to celebrate the Passover of Christ along with the congregation Passover, through the Sunday Celebration of God´s Word conducted by laypeople. However, it is often noticed that there is a separation among personal, social life and religion, affecting the way communities celebrate, where people's lives are not tied to the liturgy and the latter, in turn, is not tied to people´s lives The believer´s life and the history of the humanity are not understood as Passover connected to the Passover of Jesus. Therefore, by analyzing documents 43 and 52 of the Brazilian Bishops and some elements of the liturgical tradition, as well as in the Church General Magisterium about life in the celebration, the aim of this paper is to highlight elements that encourage the integration between life and liturgy, especially regarding the Sunday Celebration of God´s Word. Such search will also verify that the liturgy celebrates the Passover happening in people's lives and history without making use of its authenticity and that the Sunday Celebration of God‟s Word authenticity resides in celebrating life as a Paschal process, as a passage from death to life, thanks to the liberating intervention of God. This paper also intends to state that the relation between liturgy and life helps the People of God, who participate in the celebrations, to existentially penetrate in the Mystery, manifesting it later on in their own lives‟ conducts / The National Conference of Bishops of Brazil, by means of Documents 43 and 52, inspires the ecclesial communities and guides their celebrations.

Incentiva as comunidades a celebrar o Mistério Pascal de Cristo que envolve as suas vidas, a celebrar a Páscoa dos fiéis na Páscoa de Cristo, através da Celebração Dominical da Palavra de Deus presidida por leigos e leigas. Porém, nota-se com frequência que há uma separação entre a vida pessoal, social e a religião, afetando o modo de celebrar de nossas comunidades, onde a vida das pessoas não incide na liturgia e esta, por sua vez, não incide na vida das pessoas. A vida do fiel e a história da humanidade não são compreendidos como Páscoa na Páscoa de Jesus. Por isso, ao analisar os Documentos 43 e 52 da CNBB e alguns elementos da tradição litúrgica e do magistério geral da Igreja sobre a vida na celebração, pretende-se destacar elementos que incentivem a integração entre vida e liturgia, especialmente no que diz respeito à Celebração Dominical da Palavra de Deus. Buscar-se-á, também, verificar que a liturgia celebra a Páscoa acontecendo na vida das pessoas e na história sem que seja instrumentalizada em sua autenticidade e que a própria autenticidade da Celebração Dominical da Palavra de Deus está em celebrar a vida como um processo pascal, como uma passagem da morte para vida, graças à libertadora intervenção de Deus. Deseja-se, ainda, apresentar que a relação entre liturgia e vida auxilia o povo de Deus, que participa das celebrações, a penetrar existencialmente no Mistério, manifestando-o depois na própria conduta de vida
