30. Etiquette &
Social
Refinements
in Church
The basic idea of
how we should
behave in Church
is summed up by
the Second
Council of Lyons,
A.D. 1274:

31. It is fitting that He Whose abode has been
established in peace should be worshipped in peace
and with due reverence.
Churches, then, should be entered humbly and
devoutly;
behavior inside should be calm, pleasing to God,
bringing peace to the beholders, a source not only of
instruction but of mental refreshment.

32. Those who assemble in church should extol with an
act of special reverence that Name which is above
every Name
that is, of Jesus Christ…

33. … that at the Name of Jesus every knee should bow;
whenever that glorious Name is recalled, especially
during the sacred Mysteries of the Mass,
everyone should bow the knees of his heart, which
he can do even by a bow of his head.
In churches the sacred solemnities should possess
the whole heart and mind; the whole attention
should be given to prayer.

35. Eucharist

36. Desiderio
Desideravi

37. “Liturgy is of first
importance in our
lives. God must be
in first place and
prayer our first
duty..”

38. The Liturgy is
the “today” of
God’s saving
work

39. From the beginning of creation, God has
been preparing for the Last Supper of Jesus.
Because Jesus has an infinite desire to
become one with us, everyone is invited to
that Supper. Here Jesus himself is the
Passover Lamb that we take.
How great is the gift and how small we are.

40. The Mass is the
supper of the
wedding of the
Lamb

41. To be present, there is one
requirement: the wedding garment of
faith.
Our response to Jesus’ desire is to
surrender to his love, to let ourselves to
be drawn by him.

42. The content of
the Mass: the
crucifixion of
Jesus

43. This is the content of the broken bread: the
cross of Jesus, his sacrifice of obedience out
of love for the Father. The crucifixion is:
* the act of perfect worship
* the only true liturgy
The Eucharist is a memorial, a remembering
of this cross where Jesus offers his body and
pours out his blood.

44. The Liturgy:
place of
encounter
with Christ

45. In the Liturgy, we encounter Jesus and
the power of his Paschal Mystery
reaches us.
In the sacraments, the Risen Jesus
continues to forgive us, heal us, and
save us.

47. The Church is
the sacrament
of the Body of
Christ

48. The Liturgy is
an antidote
for the poison
of spiritual
worldliness

49. Let us
rediscover
the beauty of
the truth of
the Christian
celebration

50. An essential part of
the Mass: being
amazed at the
Paschal Mystery

51. The need for a
serious and
vital liturgical
formation

53. Ars
celebrandi:
particular
concern of
the priest

54. In the Liturgy, we encounter Jesus and
the power of his Paschal Mystery
reaches us.
In the sacraments, the Risen Jesus
continues to forgive us, heal us, and
save us.

55. Silence is absolutely important

56. It is something grand: take extreme care of
silence, one of our symbolic gestures
A symbol of the presence and action of the
Holy Spirit
It moves us to sorrow and desire for
conversion, makes us ready to hear the
Word, awakens prayer, leads us to adore the
Body and Blood

57. Liturgical year
and the Lord’s
Day:
rediscover
their meaning

58. It is something grand: take extreme care of
silence, one of our symbolic gestures
