**If we do, I believe we will reap the benefits of a people who will...
•become more biblically-informed and biblically-aware,
•embrace the beauty and value of symbol,
•begin to slow down and incorporate moments of peace, quiet, and thoughtful reflection into their lives,
•no longer be satisfied with being entertained, but seek for ways to actively contribute to the life of the body.
There is a better way.**
There is a liturgical way.**
The Catholic Church is a liturgical guide for all.
Except when it fails.
When it comes to liturgy, no one holds a candle to the Orthodox. I say that not as a slight on the Catholic liturgy you follow, which differs very little from the Lutheran liturgy which I follow. But the Spirit of God is found in the Orthodox liturgy, I think, in depths that I have not experienced elsewhere, including the Catholic, Anglican, and Lutheran traditions. The paradox of the majesty and the approachability of God is there.
