NOTE

Exploring the Spiritual Influence of Liturgies and Embodiment

Liturgies serve as calibration technologies that guide our spiritual orientation, emphasizing the importance of directing focus towards Christ. They significantly shape our lives through the formation of habits, which are often caught rather than explicitly taught, reinforcing the idea that repetition in practices is vital for internalizing scripture. The ancient church valued repetition as a means to embed spiritual truths deeply into our hearts and lives, contrasting the modern preference for novelty driven by sincerity. Additionally, the human experience is fundamentally aesthetic and embodied; our physical rituals—such as kneeling, raising hands in worship, and receiving blessings—provide tangible pathways to spiritual connection. This highlights the integral role of the body in our identity and encapsulates the essence of incarnational theology, where the embodiment of divine presence through Jesus emphasizes the significance of material existence in spiritual practice.
