: uma liturgia hoje em Angola

Abstract

In disease, men experience his own inability, his limits, his finitude fills in himself, without any contact with family, even sometimes despair and revolt against God. But also can make someone weighted, help him to discern what is not essential and turn back to what it is, a lot of times disease make one to search for God, to return to God. The hospitable presence is a call to find God in the sick one, like a “gift” received from listening the poor’s shout. These and others are the reasons to entitle the dissertation: Anoitment of the sick, for a liturgy today in Angola!
