Prášková, Jarmila ; Mrňávek, Tomáš (advisor) ; Málek, Vladimír (referee)
The work Advent Hymns in the Liturgy of Hours, after defining terminology, describes in brief historic origins and development of the Liturgy of Hours and its theology. Origins of liturgical hymns are examined in the next part. The main part presents publication and commentary to four Advent hymns, two for the Lauds and two for the Vespers. The commentary reflects historical circumstances of the hymns' origins (final doxological strophas), theology of the Liturgy of Hours (trinitarian trait in the Liturgy of Hours and its hymns, interconnectedness with the Mass), and insertion into liturgical and chronologic times with their characteristic modes.

Pilgrimage and its use for catechesis
Němeček, Jaroslav ; Eliáš, Vojtěch (advisor) ; Mrňávek, Tomáš (referee)
Anotation: PILGRIMAGE AND HER EXPLOITATION FOR CATECHISM The thesis offers to the participants of the catechism course insight into one of the biggest Middle Ages pilgrimages - "Saint-Jacob's Pilgrimage", as well as into the history of pilgrimage generally, and into related events from the history of the Church. Pilgrimages have not only spiritual, historical, cultural or political dimension, but they are - above all - journeys of internal contemplation of God and recognition of oneself. Therefore, the goal of this thesis was to help, through the historical background, to deepen the belief of the participants, encourage their active life with God and give them a practical help in their Christian life. The matter is divided into two parts: The theoretical part deals with what precedes the catechism - i. e. the conditions that need to be fulfilled in the interest of a correct and meaningful catechism. The second part is a resulting example of practical preparation to catechism. It is conceived so that the participants are acquainted with the historical facts, with the spirituality of places of pilgrimage. At the same time, the substance of belief and Christian life is being explained. In each lesson selected notions of catechism are introduced and explained and a space is given to the participants to present...

Liturgical qualifications of church organists:ideals and reality
Gabrielová, Markéta ; Eliáš, Vojtěch (advisor) ; Mrňávek, Tomáš (referee)
Liturgy is the supreme expression of the Roman Catholic Church and that is the reason we must pursue it as well as we can ass it is mentioned in the Constitution on the Holy Liturgy Sancrosanctum concilium. Liturgical music and singing are an integral part of the Divine Service, it should be properly mastered by organists and other musicians who participate on the service. That is why I dedicate a substantial part of my work to the liturgy itself. The organists should also know regulations and directions under which liturgical music is performed. That is the purpose of the second part of my work. The results of the research described in the third part of the work show that the majority of organists perform their profession in a very good standard, that the quality of their work does not depend on the size of the community they live in. Nevertheless, those coming from smaller settlements might have more problems. They are mostly well qualified and educated musicians. They also try to be good Christians but their theological education is a bit worse. Litoměřice Diocese offers them further education in the form of regular courses and majority of them gladly participate and appreciate them. A larger problem seems to be a lack of musicians interested in organ playing among believers as well as...

Dance as a Manifestation of Devotion
Všetičková, Veronika ; Mrňávek, Tomáš (advisor) ; Málek, Vladimír (referee)
The bachelor thesis "Dance as a Manifestation of Devotion" is an exposition on dance in the context of Christian culture. It draws out the development of religious dance and its possibilities and apprehension in various cultures and religions at the dawn of history. It also explains an approach and a principle of scepticism with regard to dance that still exists somewhere in the society. The paper presents a view of dance that can express our devotion to God through its gestures and moves; dance can be a manifestation of prayer and thus enrich the liturgy to a great extent. The dance that helps Christians to show their joy of faith is of precious value for the liturgy, just like music and singing. Keywords: Dance, gesture, liturgy, prayer, expression.
