S5-F       Liturgical Spirituality
                Sr. Anthony Poerio, IBVM

Liturgy has to connect with our everyday lives.  Our everyday lives have to connect with the Jesus story, the Paschal Mystery.  To make that connection, we need to anchor ourselves in the worship of the Church.  The rhythm of the liturgical cycles have to play the same tune as the cycles of our lives and only then will we experience the transforming power of Word and Sacrament.
