So, what I am understanding You to s...Father Denis,<br />So, what I am understanding You to say is that liturgy is something given to us, a particular text and a particular structure. We are not called to create something but to participate in something transcedent. Well, maybe not just participate, but love.<br /><br />We do not love with concepts but with words, with deeds.<br /><br />What is in the mind and heart stays in there...until I act on it, say it, play it, or do it. Nothing leaves the mind and heart except by symbol, and nothing can enter but in the same way.<br /><br />For some, silence is most symbolic, whale music or panpipes do it for another....or maybe Bach's Kyrie ( I love that). I have never really thought of these things before as creative license....or something for correction....I guess I just thought of them as ways to communicate love...<br /><br />Mostly, I like the new translation...although I still regularly mess up my part. There are a few things...mostly language..that still hugely distract me. I am learning to look over them...to Jesus.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing so much.<br />I hope you are feeling well...Catherinenoreply@blogger.com
