禮儀是神聖之事,可帶來活力、賦予生命。耶穌基督——人類的道路、真理和生命——繼續在祂的教會中擔任導師、犧牲的祭品及聖化者。禮儀是天主的聖言、聖善的學校、恩寵的泉源。(AE, 230)
The Liturgy is something alive and life-giving. It is, in a certain sense, the consummation itself of Jesus Christ whereby he continues to be in his Church the Teacher, the sacrificial Victim, the Sanctifier: Way, Truth and Life for humanity. The Liturgy is thus God’s Word, a school of holiness, and a source of grace (AE, 230).
