Vatican II’s Constitution on Sacred Liturgy: Part 1

Vatican II’s Constitution on Sacred Liturgy: Part 1

Dr. Schreck discusses how Jesus Christ is present in the sacred liturgy, the role of the faithful in the Church’s worship, and the liturgy as a foretaste of heaven. He explains the structure of the Mass and how it is both the “summit” of the Church’s activity and “the font from which all her power flows.” He talks about Sacrosanctam Concilium, which reveals how the graces offered in the Mass can be most fully and fruitfully received.
