In Patristic times, the sacramental order concerning Christian initiation (Baptism, Christening and Eucharist) was characterized by two periods of formation: one pre-baptismal, also called catechumenate, and another one post-baptismal, known as mystagogy. The second period mainly developed when the catechumenate – initially lasting for some years – was reduced to the limited extension of just lent. This ecclesial habit gradually disappeared when Christianism got more spread out in history and when the ordinary procedure of becoming Christian was not any longer the adults’ conversion and consequently an extended
catechumenal process, but the early infants’ Baptism. Still in the caroling epoque the ancient costume could be found frequently; at the beginning of the second millennium children’s Baptism definitely got so important to win over the adults’ one whose destiny it was to disappear. The three sacraments of Christian initiation therefore got separated and distinguished until the Second Vatican Council rediscovered their intrinsic unity. One may wish that the theological reflection and the pastoral-celebrative experience are going to repropose Christian initiation in a sacramental perspective and in a liturgical setting that are both characterized by a unifying principle.

The contribution of the late Prof. Mario Sensi – the lectio he gave at the Forum regionale
Paesaggio – Geografia 2014, 4. At the roots of the Umbrian landscape: the Benedictine
abbeys (Abbey of Montelabate [PG], September 26, 2014) of the Umbria Region – is
intended to be an illustration of the research work that preceded the creation of the
Monasticum Umbriae, the repertoire of Benedictine abbeys in Umbria. In this brief
essay, in particular, the author intended to dwell on the protagonists and the historical,
geographical and landscape “places” that constitute the core of the repertoire itself.
