Communion in the Church – a Reflection of the Communion of the Holy Trinity

U radu se polazi od Isusove objave Boga kao Trojstva iz čega proizlazi i određenje Crkve kao Crkve Trojstva, osobito istaknuto na Drugome vatikanskom koncilu. Taj trinitarni aspekt prepoznaje Koncil u utemeljenju Crkve, u njezinu poslanju i u ikoničnosti, a trebao bi se odražavati u njezinu nutarnjem životu. Stoga se ovdje u promišljanju zakonitosti unutarnjeg života Crkve, osobito njezina zajedništva, polazi od kontemplacije Božjeg bića i iskustva njegova života. Takav pristup nužno otvara potrebu ponovnog povezivanja ekleziologije i trinitarne dogme. Iz trinitarne dogme, konkretno iz konstituiranja jedinstva božanskog Trojstva, povlači se poveznica s jedinstvom Crkve i sagledavaju se putovi ostvarenja uređenih i soteriološki usmjerenih unutarcrkvenih odnosa, konkretno specifičnog jedinstva svih članova Crkve, te jedinstva različitih službi i karizmi u Crkvi.The starting point of the article is Jesus’s revelation of God as the Trinity on which the Church’s determination as the Church of the Trinity – especially emphasised at the Second Vatican Council – is based. This Trinitarian aspect has been recognised by the Council in the founding of the Church, in its mission and in its being icon-like, while it should also be reflected in its inner life. Hence, in reflecting on the logic of the inner life of the Church, especially its communion, the article begins with a contemplation of God’s being and experience of his life. Such an approach necessarily points to the need to re-establish the relation between ecclesiology and the Trinitarian dogma. From the Trinitarian dogma or, more concretely, from constituting the unity of the Divine Trinity, the author reasons to the unity of the Church and reflects on ways in which orderly and soteriological inner-ecclesiastical relations might be realised; more precisely, the specific unity of all members of the Church and the unity of diverse offices and charismas in the Church
