Criterion for Glorifying God

What is the "liturgy?"

The word "liturgy" originally meant a "public work" or a "service in the name of/on behalf of the people."

In Christian tradition it means the participation of the "People of God" in the "work of God."

Through the liturgy Christ, our redeemer and high priest continues the work of our redemption, in, with, and through his Church. (CCC 1069).

The "liturgy" began beforethe Church even started celebrating formal worship.

- St. Irenaeus, TreatiseAgainstHeresies, Lib. 4, 16, 2-5: SC, 100, 564-572,

as presented in the Liturgy of the Hours, Office of Readings, Friday of the 2nd Week of Lent.

“Every liturgicalacthas twoends: the glorification of God and the sanctification of human beings.”

Scriptural Foundations - Old Testament

The Garden of Eden

The fall of Man is universal - Garden represents the heavenly garden (Eden) on the mountain of God - Since the creation of humanity, a desire to worship God is intrinsic.

Scriptural Foundations - New Testament

All of the biblical activity is communicated through a high-style Roman architecture. Church as “Living Stones” Church is the “Mystical body of Christ” St. Peter, the “cornerstone” (Acts 4:11) in which Christ builds his Church (Mt 16:13-20)

Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore (Duomo); Florence, Italy

21:2-3 -- St. John writes "And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband; and I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, 'Behold, the dwelling of God is with men. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them.'"

Revelation

요한 묵시록 제21장, 2-3절. 거룩한 도성 새 예루살렘이 신랑을 위하여 단장한 신부처럼 차리고 하늘로부터 하느님에게서 내려오는 것을 보았습니다. 그때에 나는 어좌에서 울려오는 큰 복소리를 들었습니다. “보라, 이제 하느님의 거처는 사람들 가운데에 있다. 하느님께서 사람들과 함께 거처하시고 그들은 하느님의 백성이 될 것이다. 하느님 친히 그들의 하느님으로서 그들과 함께 계실 것이다.”
