Planning Liturgy

Liturgy

The original meaning of the word “liturgy” was a public work or service on behalf of the people. In Christian understanding the word liturgy refers to the participation of the people of God in “the work of God” (John 17:4). The New Testament understanding of “liturgy” includes celebration of divine worship, proclamation of the gospel and acts of charity (Catechism of the Catholic Church, nn.1069- 1070). Therefore, a school community’s celebration of liturgy both reflects and influences what it proclaims, who it is and what it does.
