Analyze "Liturgies"

Example 1

The Catholic Liturgy

            Their liturgy is based in the whole Christ, head and bogy.  They focus on the liturgy that the angels and the saints of the old agreement and the new convention.  The Catholic Church in the universe celebrates their liturgy in connection with the baptized people giving themselves as a spiritual surrender, the certain priests celebrating while serving the church members as they act in the Christ person.  This practice has become ritual in the Catholic Faith as they use symbols and signs which are connected to the word.  Based on these signs, they talk of themselves in that they need to be convoyed and confirmed by the words that are spoken. Held in connection, word and actions signifies the rite and its influence (Smith, 2009). 

            The main reason for the engagement in the ritual and the way it is done is because it helps the Catholic community to pray in their own and in many divergent ways.  The liturgy needs them to believe in it, celebrate it and live in the individual connection with the true God.  This connection with God is the prayer.  The significance of the liturgy and how it shapes our lives is that it is based on the cultural status and concentrates more on the Old Testament matters.  The liturgy is fully shown in the person and the Christ’s life as the signs and the symbols are derived from God’s creation such as water, fire bread and wine (Smith, 2009). 

Example 2

Liturgy of the Word

            This liturgy is from the readings of the scripture. This means that the Church feeds the God’s people with His Word.  The scripture is the written word of God which was written by people inspired of God.  The main point that shows liturgy of the word is reading the Gospel books.  The Gospel talk of the life, organization and talking of Christ as it gets some signs of respect and deliverance. The liturgy has been taken for granted as not many of the churches follow the principles of it. After the reading of the scripture, the high priest should preach the sermon as he focuses on the texts from the word or some other from the liturgy (Smith, 2009).

            The reason for engaging in the liturgy is that it helps us in having more proficient lives as we add our faith to Christ and develop in the holiness of Christ. The significance of the liturgy of the word is that its conclusion is the Worldly prayer or the prayer of faith.  The gathered church listening to the sermon intervenes with God on behalf of the congregation and the universe as they hand over their requirements to the loving God (Smith, 2009). 

Example 3

Marriage Liturgy

            In the marriage liturgy, the couple gains one love in the presence of God.  In the form of  liturgy, the church, through the high priests, proofs and celebrates the dedication to live together in love and before God.  Marriage liturgy has become ritual as marriage cannot exist without God.  God takes part in marriage through calling the husband and the wife to live faithfully and in harmony.  It also needs then to love each other with honor and pleasure which becomes a part of call to love everyone.  This lover allows them to mind about others. The main reason as to why the liturgy is practices as this is due to that the word of God teaches that marriage is a gift from God and it is a way of showing His grace.  It is a holy union whereby the man and the woman become one.  The significance of the liturgy is that as husband and wife give themselves in love basis in their whole life, they remain to be connected as the way Christ is united with the Church (Smith, 2009).
