Today, however, fortified by Vatican approval of the original form of Addai and Mari, we are invited to look with great interest not only at that anaphora, but also at the so-called “anomalous” anaphoras. Based on multiple indices of literary structure, we can hypothesize that the primitive Church, having inherited the Old Testament and Jewish euchology, needed a certain lapse of time to realize the effective possibility that it had to apply to the anaphora, by grafting onto the formularies received from Jewish domestic and synagogal euchology, the <i>ipsissima verba</i> of the Lord and transmitted by the <i>kerygmatic-cultic</i> summaries of the New Testament tradition. With its “quasi-narrative,” the anaphora of Addai and Mari attests to a phase in which the theological-Scriptural locus of the sacramental body allowed itself to be inserted into the euchological formulary with the precise goal of conferring upon the <i>epiclesis</i>, that is, upon the demand of our transformation into the ecclesial body, all the credit for which it is capable.
