What is Liturgy?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Eucharist is the heart and the summit of the Church's life, for in it Christ associates his Church and all her members with his sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving offered once for all on the cross to his Father; by this sacrifice he pours out the graces of salvation on his Body which is the Church.”

Para 1407, Catechism of the Catholic Church

 

“I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.” (Lk 22:15) These words of Jesus, with which the account of the Last Supper opens, are the crevice through which we are given the surprising possibility of intuiting the depth of the love of the persons of the Most Holy Trinity for us.”

Pope Francis, Para 2, DESIDERIO DESIDERAVI

Have you ever wonder why we need to gather together at church? What about this is odd or confusing to you?

Why do you think early Christians adopted the word "liturgy", meeting a public work, to describe communal worship and prayer?

How can you more be more fully conscience and active in participation at Sunday Mass?
