Cesare Giraudo, In persona Christi, "" In person Ecclesiae. " Eucharistic formulas in light of the lex orandi in Review of Theology 51 (2010 / 2) 181-195
SUMMARY
The systematic school saw the consecration as an action sacred in itself, framed by a set of prayers. To give status to these two portions, it has coined two different formulas: the consecration of the Minister acting in persona Christi , prayers acts in persona Ecclesiae . It is correct to oppose the two formulas and take for granted both the fragmentation of the eucharistic prayer as the fracture suffered by the ministerial role? A clear answer is offered by the patristic mystagogy: while stressing the absolute efficacy of the words of consecration, the Fathers were concerned with all'epiclesi and report it to the entire Eucharistic prayer.
