Episode notes
Understanding The Age Of The Church
- The "age of the Church" is the present era between Old Testament shadows and heavenly perfection, where Christ's victory is applied over time.
- We participate now in resurrected Christ's action through the Church while awaiting final glory.
Liturgy As Divine Work
- Liturgy is truly a work (leitourgia) carried out primarily by the Trinity, not by ministers.
- The Church and ministers participate in a small human portion while God does the principal liturgical work.
The Father's Role In Liturgy
- The Father is both source and goal of liturgy; liturgy draws us into the Father's life through Christ.
- Christ mediates our access so our worship reaches the Father and our reception flows from Him.
