Re: A Study of Liturgics – May 7, 2019

Someone asked me elsewhere in response to my previous entry the following question: ” Is there not also a case that we lost the beauty of simplicity and adaptability?”

Length of prayers does not mean a lack of simplicity, for we have the whole world to pray for in addition to the Church and her people. More time in prayer does not mean an insufficiency of beauty, but quite the opposite. If the Church is a living icon of the eternal worship, then what matter is a sacrifice of time or words to us? Everything has been given to us, shouldn’t we be wont to do likewise?
