Liturgia Dei

<p>What does it mean to worship? More often than not we understand worship to be something that <i>we </i>perform <i>for </i>God. If that’s the case then worship is ultimately a human action that flows from human effort. How would our understanding of worship change though if we took as our starting point that Jesus is a fully human and fully divine worshiper? Does it then mean that God is worshiping? In responding to these questions <i>Liturgia Dei</i> suggests that worship is not primarily something <i>we </i>do <i>for </i>God but something God is eternally performing. Worship is the eternal glorification of God that extends from and returns to the eternal relations of Father Son and Mother Spirit. The church joins in this worship <i>to</i> <i>through</i> and <i>with</i> Jesus Christ. <br /></p>
