The Christian liturgy is the worship of the
universal temple which is the Risen Christ, whose arms are outstretched on the
Cross to draw everyone into the embrace of God’s eternal love. It is the worship
of a wide open heaven. It is never solely the event of a single community with
its place in time and space. It is important that every Christian feel and be
truly integrated into this universal “we” which provides the “I”, the basis and
refuge of the “I”, in the Body of Christ which is the Church.
