“ THE POWER OF LITURGY TO FORM (and REFORM) US, and why paying attention to the practices of ADVENT in your home...with your children/grandchildren is so important: When he instituted the feast of Christ the King and in 1925, Pius XI made the wise observation, ‘[P]eople are instructed in the truths of faith, and brought to appreciate the inner joys of religion far more effectively by the annual celebration of sacred mysteries them by any official pronouncement of the teachings of the church.’ The Pope understood the power of the liturgy as the school of the church. The yearly celebration of the mysteries of the faith involves those who celebrate it mentally and physically and spiritually. By participation in the sacred year of the Lord we become part of what we celebrate, and it becomes part of us. – Philip Pfatteicher, Journey Into the Heart of God: Living the Liturgical Year (section 1, Anno Domini: Time and History)
