RENEWAL SEMINAR FOR ANDA LAY MINISTERS


( January 12, 2000 HIA Classroom )

1. liturgy in general
- the official public worship of the Church expressed in words and signs / actions
official – authorized by the church (local bishop, pope)
public – an activity of an assembly of believers visibly gathered
worship – it is prayer; to recognize the divine, to recognize a being greater than himself
expressed in word and sign – includes rites & ceremonies; helps the human person, who is in
embodied state, communicate & express something spiritual
- in the most secular meaning, it includes all the rites and ceremonies celebrated inside the church
- in its deepest meaning, liturgy can be described as an exercise of the priestly office of Jesus Christ in
which the sanctification of man is manifested by signs perceptible to the senses and full public worship is
performed by the Mystical Body of Jesus Christ, that is, by the Head and His members. It is therefore, a
sacred action surpassing all others.
- specifically, it includes ritual acts, i.e. the Eucharist (the highest liturgy), the other sacraments,
sacramentals and other liturgical celebrations

microphones are turned on before starting; follow techniques in public speaking (e.g. read in thought
groups)

response is long & difficult to memorize, say / sing it again every after verse (sp. when no projector)
