In his Mystagogy, Maximus the Confessor explored the ritual space and action of the church, especially how liturgical progression through them both reflects and realizes spiritual progress. In this framework, Maximus presented a picture of the church's shared prayer as an ascetic experience that both spiritually transforms the individual and creates unity among its participants. Such unity is not merely formal or performative but, rather, is actualized though a self-forgetting that occurs when participants willingly attune to a common worship and, in love, make the church's prayer their own. Thus, the Mystagogy presents shared prayer as a type and even a prolepsis of the willing and loving surrender of the self in the eschaton.

概要：

在他的《神秘学》中，忏悔者马克西姆斯探索了教会的仪式空间和行动，特别是通过它们进行的仪式进程如何反映和实现精神进步。在这个框架中，马克西姆斯描绘了教会共同祈祷的画面，这是一种禁欲体验，既可以在精神上改变个人，又可以在参与者之间建立团结。这种合一不仅仅是形式上的或表演性的，而是通过一种忘我的方式实现的，当参与者心甘情愿地参与共同的敬拜，并在爱中将教会的祈祷变成自己的祈祷时，就会发生这种合一。因此，神秘学将共同祈祷呈现为一种预表，甚至是在末世自愿和充满爱心地放弃自我的预兆。
