The word comes from Greek and it describes a service for the people – in our case – the Mass and the Liturgy of the Hours.  Vatican II’s document on the Liturgy states that the Mass is “the source and summit of the Christian life”.  Everything we do as Christians flows to the Mass and from it we receive the gifts from God necessary to continue to live out our mission as Christians.  Therefore, its importance can never be understated.  Our journey to discovering and developing a better understanding of the Liturgy will continue in the new year.  Dates to be announced.
