Latin American liberation theology forged a vast field of theological knowledge but never was fully interested in the field of liturgy. To fill this void, the author proposes to think of liberation theology based on a liturgical praxis, that is, considering how the whole life of the poor, if lived totally in liturgical practice can become the first step of theology, thus making the liturgical/theological thinking the second theological act. For this, it is necessary to rethink the understanding of liturgy, so it can be not only a place of repetition of tradition, but fundamentally the place where life is lived in songs, prayers and rituals which go beyond tradition and also include daily life and popular beliefs. If liturgy becomes the sacred ritualization of that which is broadly lived out in daily life, based on all the experiences of life and death, the correlation between liturgical praxis/thought and theological thought/praxis ends up reflecting the people who live and invent life with God. At the center of this liturgical theology one encounters the body, the microcosm of the earth and of the universe, a world among so many intermediate worlds and complex relations. Articulating this void, after 50 years of the history of Latin American theology, shows that this theology is vital, and even more necessary for our times.
