The Liturgy: A Play of Priest, Congregation, and Ritual
from Bishop Barron’s Sunday Sermons - Catholic Preaching and Homilies · host Bishop Robert Barron
On this feast of Corpus Christi, I would like to reflect on the sacred liturgy, the central prayer of the Church. According to Msgr. Francis Mannion, good liturgy is the result of a balanced play between priest, people, and rite. When the first becomes exaggerated, we find the clerical abuse of the liturgy; when the second is overstressed, we encounter the congregationalist abuse; and when the third is exaggerated, we have the ritualistic problem. What counts is the balance!
