Who, how, when and where we worship

Select a passage to highlight, add a note, or link it to a learning path.

The whole assembled Church participates in worship, with distinct ministries and roles. Scripture, sacramental signs, sacred time, music, buildings, and the liturgical year serve a common encounter with Christ. Participation includes attentive listening, responses, silence, prayer, and a life shaped by what is celebrated. Local arrangements and legitimate ritual diversity should not be confused with universal requirements.
