The Liturgy

3 April 2025

Christian liturgy was a celebration of the presence of the living Christ. It is not the memorial meal commemorating something that happened in the past. As Augustine said on a sermon of Psalm 22, the great psalm of Christ's passion, the liturgy "makes present what took place in time past, and in this way it moves us as if we were watching our Lord hanging on the cross."
