The Transforming Power of the Liturgy
Devoted participation in the liturgy transforms the Christian faithful, and, having been transformed, they become capable of transforming the world. The liturgy has power to transform us, not only by our participation in it, but by works inspired by faith, such as to:
- care for the sick and dying;
- cherish and cultivate vocations to Holy Orders and the consecrated life;
- go forth with the Gospel to those on the margins and peripheries of society;
- uphold the dignity of all races and ethnicities;
- care for our common home; and
- gladly receive migrants, refugees, and the poor.
We bear fruit interiorly by being transformed by God’s gift of grace operating through the liturgy, which leads us to prayer and devotion. We bear fruit exteriorly by moving to action, transforming the world around us, fulfilling the good works of faith communicated in the liturgy. In this way, the liturgy is the source and summit of Christian life and action.
