Liturgy Quotes

A little bread and wine in a dungeon sufficed for the liturgy of the martyrs Picture Quote #1

Music had always been the handmaid of the Roman liturgy Picture Quote #1

Then suddenly the Roman liturgy disappeared as we knew it Picture Quote #1

Liturgy is like a strong tree whose beauty is derived from the continuous renewal of its leaves, but whose strength comes from the old trunk, with solid roots in the ground Picture Quote #1

In relation to the earth we have been autistic for centuries. Only now have we begun to listen with some attention and with a willingness to respond to the earth’s demands that we cease our industrial assault, that we abandon our inner rage against the conditions of our earthly existence, that we renew our human participation in the grand liturgy of the universe Picture Quote #1

One day, a leopard stalked into the synagogue, roaring and lashing its tail. Three weeks later, it had become part of the liturgy Picture Quote #1

We cannot build up the idea of the apostolate of the laity without the foundation of the liturgy Picture Quote #1

You never see animals going through the absurd and often horrible fooleries of magic and religion... Dogs do not ritually urinate in the hope of persuading heaven to do the same and send down rain. Asses do not bray a liturgy to cloudless skies. Nor do cats attempt, by abstinence from cat’s meat, to wheedle the feline spirits into benevolence. Only man behaves with such gratuitous folly. It is the price he has to pay for being intelligent but not, as yet, quite intelligent enough Picture Quote #1

I am enormously susceptible to religious environments - the music, the liturgy and the prayers Picture Quote #1

I wonder that among all the evils deprecated in the Liturgy, no one thought of inserting flitting. Is there any worse thing? Oh no, no! Picture Quote #1

Prayer is, for me, like that - a state of being together with God. It’s not usually triggered by liturgy or special needs. It’s more like what the Bible instructs us to do: Pray without ceasing Picture Quote #1

As regards my own ‘philosophy,’ I continue to be inspired by the music, liturgy and architectural tradition of the Anglican Church in which I was brought up. No one can fail to be uplifted by great cathedrals - such as that at Ely, near my home in Cambridge Picture Quote #1

The music, the prayers, the bowing and rising, the incense--all of it was breaking down my defenses. That’s what good liturgy does. It breaks your heart open and turns you toward God Picture Quote #1

The language of the Catholic Church - the liturgy, the prayer, the gospels - was in many ways my first poetry Picture Quote #1

You have the women sitting on the left and the men sitting on the right. Everything is to keep your mind focused on God... To me the most beautiful thing anyone on earth can experience, other than maybe marriage and child-bearing, would be the Orthodox Liturgy Picture Quote #1
