• Liturgy
• as a bridge between
• the transcendent
• and
• the human

8

• In a holy place we experience
• THE HOLY
• through
• WORD
• SONG
• BREAD AND WINE
• SILENCE
• TOUCH

9

• HOLY Things for
• HOLY people
• We are the
• human hands
• and feet of our God

10

• The presence of Christ
• is mediated through the
• HUMAN
• COMMUNITY

11

• We come as individuals
• We pray as a community
• WHAT ONE BRINGS ALL BRING

12

• Liturgy
• as the bridge between
• the personal
• and
• the communal

13

• Individualism
• versus
• Community

14

• EUCHARIST
• Celebration of the
• unity of the
• Father
• and the Son
• in the Holy Spirit

15

• Christ calls us
• to become one with him and to thus share divine
  life
• SENSE OF DIVINE
• HOSPITALITY

16

• MINISTRIES
• call for a surrender of self in order to
  experience the Christ in each other
• COMMUNITY

17

• To be fully prepared to experience
  Christ
• PERSON
• OF
• PRAYER

18

• Liturgy as a bridge
• between
• the sanctuary
• and
• the marketplace

19

• Personally
• take on the
• self-effacing
• LOVE OF
• CHRIST

20

• Participate in
• MASS
• Transformed to see the world
• in a
• DIVINE WAY

21

• Transformation
• Uncomfortable
• Give up wealth
• Risk job, esteem, position or even life itself
• What else???????

22

• To be like Christ
• we must be willing to identify
• WITH HIS
• DEATH

23

• Bottom line
• EUCHARISTIC
• HOSPITALITY
• is not
• warm and fuzzy

24

• EUCHARISTIC
• HOSPITALITY
• IS
• SACRIFICIAL
• AND
• COSTLY

25

• We have surrendered
• ourselves not only to Christ
• We have also
• surrendered ourselves
• to the Community

26

• What I do in life is reflective of
• what I do
• at the
• EUCHARIST

27

• I am the Body of Christ and I need to participate
  in the wonders of the
• WORD PROCLAIMED
• and the
• WORD LIVED OUT

28

• Liturgy
• as a bridge between
• the Past
• and
• the Future

29

• The Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy
• Gave us the vision we are now
• living out in our
• liturgical and
• personal lives.

30

• We do not live in the past
• However the past gives us a vision for
• the present
• and the future

31

• We gather as the early Christians did to
• TAKE
• BLESS
• EAT

32

• We change because we as humans change
• Do you do everything in life as you did 5, 10, 20
  years ago?
• Will you do everything the same next year as you
  do today?

33

• Through everything we do we are
• still connected to the past through
• OUR PRESENT
• AND FUTURE
• EXPERIENCES

34

• What are we doing in and through the Liturgy?
• How can the way we are doing Liturgy be enhanced?
  
• (Rev. Msgr. Kevin Irwin)

35

• All Liturgy is Pastoral
• Liturgy is always about and for the people.
• All Liturgy is Personal
• Every act of liturgy is a personal appropriation
  of what is celebrated.
• All Liturgy is Paschal
• Every enactment of the liturgy is the
  actualization of the paschal mystery.

36

• All Liturgy Concerns Participation
• Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy states that
  the full, conscious and active participation in
  the liturgy is demanded by the very nature of the
  liturgy itself---use of all our senses.
• All Liturgy is done in and through the power of
  the Holy Spirit
• Invocation of the Holy Spirit in Prayers and
  especially the Eucharistic Prayers.

37

• All Liturgy Proclaims the Word of God
• Proclamation of the Scriptures at all liturgical
  riteswe have received a more generous share in
  the treasures of the Bible at the liturgy.
• All Liturgy is Paradoxical
• Liturgy is about enabling us to view the world
  through paradoxical lenses, and it is about
  celebrating our faiths paradoxes in sacred
  signs, symbols, words, and gestures.

38

• So what about our future and the upcoming changes?

  Rite, vessels, preparation of the gifts, etc.

  responses, music texts, etc.
• Nothing to worry about

56

• New USCCB Document
• Sing to the Lord Music in Divine Worship
  November 2007
• Guidelines provided to DIRECT those preparing for
  the celebration of the Sacred Liturgy according
  to the current liturgical books (ordinary form of
  celebration of the Eucharist)

57

• Singing together in church expresses so well the
  sacramental presence of God to his people
• Music is a sign of Gods love for us and our love
  for him
• Very personal and yet it has a communal dimension
• Faith grows when it is well expressed in
  celebration
• Singing is one of the primary ways that the
  faithful participates actively in the Liturgy

58

• The primary role of music in the Liturgy is to
  help the members of the Assembly to join
  themselves to the action of Christ and to give
  voice to the gift of faith
• St. Augustine You should sing as wayfarers
  dosing but continue your journey. Do not grow
  tried, but sing with joy.
