This article considers how the proliferation of \"youth Masses\" in parishes and schools contributes negatively to the perspective on faith and worship among Catholic young people once they reach adulthood. Furthermore, many of these adaptations, similar to the unauthorized experimental liturgies which preceded the Second Vatican Council, go far beyond the scope of foreseen by Sacrosanctum Concilium, no. 38, and undermine the intentions of the reform by failing to recognize the \"givenness\" of the liturgy, by instead presenting liturgy as a thing to be produced and marketed for consumption.","PeriodicalId":40281,"journal":{"name":"Antiphon-A Journal for Liturgical Renewal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43769339","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I further show how the contemporary definition of liturgy as \"the work of the people\" leads to difficulties in the proper worship of God.

This refers above all to the offering of themselves with Christ. This can made clear by a division of the Eucharistic celebration into three parts: Liturgy of the Word, Liturgy of Sacrifice, Liturgy of Communion. An anthropological view of the Mass suggests a parallel with marriage and family: engagement, sacramental marriage, unity of marriage and family. Both the Eucharist and the family are grounded in the Triune life of God: The Father emanates the Word from eternity. Responding to the eternal love of the Father, the Son becomes an atoning sacrifice for fallen creation. In Holy Communion, the faithful experience unity with God through the Holy Spirit.","PeriodicalId":40281,"journal":{"name":"Antiphon-A Journal for Liturgical Renewal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43538647","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
