Description
Summary:Thomas Aquinas developed his thought on the Eucharist in a variety of genres, especially the Summa Theologiae, his biblical commentaries as well as in liturgical prayers and hymns. He amply integrates patristic Eucharistic teaching, especially that of Augustine of Hippo. The present essay traces the patristic sources of Aquinas' Eucharistic texts before setting out several key themes that have the potential for integration into contemporary mystagogia. The article also analyses some features in Aquinas' mode of theological argumentation which point to the function of Scripture and liturgical signs within his Eucharistic doctrine.
Thomas d'Aquin a construit sa doctrine eucharistique dans une diversité de genres, surtout dans la Summa theologiae, mais aussi par le commentaire biblique et les prières et hymnes liturgiques. Thomas a bien intégré la doctrine patristique sur l'eucharistie, avant tout celle d'Augustin d'Hippo. Lauteur traces les sources patristiques de la théologie eucharistique de Thomas, avant de présenter quelques thèmes clés qui pourraient enrichir une mystagogie contemporaine. L'article propose aussi une analyse de quelques éléments du mode d'argumentation de Thomas, ce qui indique la fonction de la Bible et des signes liturgiques dans sa théologique eucharistique.
