Abstract
and Agnus Dei. These five components unify the voice of the Church in prayer, adoration, confession, worship and affirmation of the True Presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist. The Church, which experiences this unity of voice, is the Church Catholic: That is, the Church of all times and places, the Church Triumphant as well as the Church militant. Our voices are blended together by the Holy Spirit with those of Moses and Aaron, Peter and Paul, Chryssostom and Ambrose, the faithful departed and the Church throughout the world today. Added to the chorus are “angels and archangels and all the company of heaven.” The focus of the Liturgy is Jesus Christ and Him crucified. Its practice in Christian worship is to center the worshiper on Jesus Christ, removing any element of self that remains. The Scriptures offer a magnificent picture of worship in Isaiah 6: In the year of King Uzziah’s death I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, lofty and exalted, with the train of His robe filling the temple. Seraphim stood above Him, each having six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet; and with two he flew. And one called out to another and said, “Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord of hosts, the whole earth is full of His glory. ” And the foundations of the thresholds trembled at the voice of him who called out, while the temple was filling with smoke.
