Episode notes
Liturgy As Participation With God
- The liturgy is the participation of God's people in the work of God, with God as the principal worker.
- Understanding how each Person of the Trinity uniquely works helps us participate intelligently in that work.
Holy Spirit As Liturgical Artisan
- The Catechism calls the Holy Spirit the artisan of God's masterpieces, especially Christ present in the sacraments.
- The liturgy aims to convey truth through beauty, with the Spirit as principal artist, not liturgists or musicians.
Fourfold Work Of The Holy Spirit
- The Catechism outlines four principal ways the Spirit works in the sacraments: prepares, recalls/manifests, actualizes, and unites.
- These parallel the Spirit's activity across salvation history but operate intensively in liturgy.
