Liturgy, spiritual life, and mission

This session invites participants to discover and deepen their understanding of how liturgical celebration (Mass, but also the Liturgy of the Hours, celebrations of the Word, and the sacraments) is the crucible of the spiritual life of the Church and of each of its members, conforming them to Christ and to his mission.

• Entering into liturgical texts to grasp their theological significance.

• A blend of presentations and personal (or group) time working directly with texts.
