In a world where everything has gotten to be so transitory and
"throw it away tomorrow," is there anything that they can count on as
lasting, that they can be sure will still be there tomorrow, next Sunday, next
year, and when they die? The liturgy delivers the answer, "Yes!" Same
old liturgy every Sunday. You can count on it's like been there for a thousand
years and more. When people bump into that in a world where there isn't
anything else they can be sure of like that, there's something real! And so we decline
the demands of a consumer society which has to have a new model every year or
every week if you're going to sell. For then you're talking marketing, and
you're not talking the Church of Christ and the holy liturgy.
