Résumé
--
In "La Liturgie oubliée" (Éditions du Cerf, 2003), Matthieu Smyth examined Eucharistic prayer in non-roman liturgy. Here, he furthers his investigation in this domain, studying the questions raised by the structure of Eucharistic celebration in its ensemble, the 'ordo' of the mass. These issues are often treated as though the rites possessed no history, no life. Matthieu Smyth proves just the contrary: such and such an expression, that appears to be a cornerstone, is revealed to be a secondary addition while another, once neglected, recovers its original meaning, casting new light on our ceremonies. Or a prayer is marked by an obscure historical context, while another reveals its link with the very definition of the rite, and so on... Rites are like the Christian message as a whole: they only exist, and can only be approached in their various concrete historical and cultural realizations. Matthieu Smyth focuses the main part of his investigation on Gallican liturgy. This is because, more than any other, it has conserved in its simplicity and clarity the schema of Eucharistic liturgy as it was established during the second century, and as it is described around 155 AD in the first "Apology" by Justin Martyr. So it is possible, through non-Roman Western tradition, to go back to the sources of our liturgical traditions (here is a unique occasion to do so) and to rediscover a Eucharist that reflects the antique conception of the Pascal Mystery.
