KNOW YOUR FAITH PART TWO:
THEME: “THE SACRAMENTAL ECONOMY”
- What place does the liturgy occupy in the life of the Church?
The liturgy as the Sacred action par excellence is the summit towards which the activity of the Church is dedicated and it is likewise the font from which all her power flows. Through the liturgy Christ continues the work of our redemption in, with and through his Church. Eph. 2:4; 3:16-17; Eph. 6:18.
