At the end of this past summer, my husband and I served as chaperons at a college student retreat in the peaceful woods of southern Indiana.\u00a0 The students stretched across four years of college life\u2014from seasoned seniors to slightly apprehensive first years.\u00a0 About one hundred students attended, all of whom shared an interest in developing their faith and serving the Church. \u00a0This in itself is a hopeful sign for the future of the Church.<\/p>\n

One component of this retreat involved\u2014as many retreats surely do\u2014witness talks.\u00a0 The students were asked to share their \u201cjourneys of faith\u201d while at our four-year university, and we were impressed with the students\u2019 stories and their poise in relating them.\u00a0 One young woman\u2019s witness particularly struck me: she described her evolving vocation and sense of herself as a person of faith by relating her love\u2026for baking.<\/p>\n

Her hobby of creating delicious balances of butter, sugar, flour and eggs has become, for her, a vocational journey in which she has worked to craft foods which are delicious and delightful (she is currently perfecting her recipe base for cream pies). \u00a0Her love for this good work has led her to assist at her hometown\u2019s professional bakery\u2014a rare coincidence of skill, interest, and passion of which many of us continually dream.\u00a0 Yet, this young baker did not interpret her work in her local bakery shop as simply random or good luck; she saw the invitation to practice her craft as a gift from God and an affirmation of her work as a Christian person.<\/p>\n

I was impressed with this young lady because she has found a practical way in which her work and her spirituality could intersect.\u00a0 Creating good (and edible) work was a delight, utilized her interests and creativity, and served her fellow-bakers while providing a service to customers at the bake-shop.\u00a0 But what have cakes, pies, and cookies to do with liturgy?<\/p>\n

When our apprentice baker was recounting her journey, I found the words of Dom Virgil Michel (1890-1938) beating in my ears:<\/p>\n

\u201cHow many readers of Orate Fratres<\/em>\u00a0will grant offhand that there is or can be a most charming connection between the liturgy and cakes?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

When he posed this question in Orate Frares<\/em> [now\u00a0Worship<\/em>]\u00a0nearly ninety years ago, Fr. Virgil was responding to an article he had read about the custom of baking particular confections to accompany various feast days throughout the liturgical year.\u00a0 He was delighted by the idea that the \u201cjoy of the Church\u2019s worship\u201d could be \u201ccarried to the family hearth\u201d and wondered if the \u201cspirit of Christ\u2019s liturgy\u201d could ever be brought back again \u201cto home and shop\u201d (Editor\u2019s Corner, Orate Fratres<\/em>\u00a0 1, no. 9 [1927]: 282-283).<\/p>\n

While Fr. Virgil\u2019s words might remind us first of Benedictine spirituality (prayer and work), his interest in connecting spirituality and daily labor also resonates with other social reform movements during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.\u00a0 In particular, being fulfilled by one\u2019s labor and applying oneself to work which was beneficial to society (including the making of delicious baked goods), reflects the philosophy of the Arts and Crafts Movement.\u00a0 Advocates of this Movement, such as interior designer William Morris (1834-1886), were responding to economic and social hardships brought about by the mass-production of modern industries. \u00a0Morris and others promoted improved working conditions for workers, sought to revive the making of hand-crafted goods, and claimed that all work involved artistry and craftsmanship that could ennoble the human spirit.<\/p>\n

The philosophy of the Arts and Crafts movement\u2014be it making beautiful and useful chairs or baking delicious baked goods from fresh ingredients\u2014also resonates with efforts of liturgical renewal in the twentieth century.\u00a0 The specific notion of linking work with spirituality would be developed by persons such as Dorothy Day (1897-1980) and Ade (ah-DAY) Bethune (1914-2002), and the coordination of daily tasks like baking and cooking with the liturgical year would be embraced by later liturgical pioneers, such as Florence Berger (1909-1983) with her cookbook, Cooking for Christ in the Liturgical Kitchen<\/em> (National Catholic Rural Life Conference<\/a>, 1949).\u00a0 But, the possibility of daily tasks being shaped by the \u201cspirit of Christ\u2019s liturgy\u201d is also articulated through the reformed Liturgy following the Second Vatican Council.<\/p>\n

The Liturgy seeks to teach us that our little work of active, intelligent participation is something much greater than saying a response, listening to the lectionary, or singing a hymn.\u00a0 These tasks we take on during liturgy (and there are a lot of them!) teach us to be active, intelligent Christians in the world.\u00a0 As Sacrosanctum Concilium <\/em>describes:<\/p>\n

The Church, therefore, earnestly desires that Christ’s faithful, when present at this mystery of faith, should not be there as strangers or silent spectators; on the contrary, through a good understanding of the rites and prayers they should take part in the sacred action conscious of what they are doing, with devotion and full collaboration (SC<\/em> 48<\/a>).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

By doing more than standing and sitting, the People of God are gradually shaped and drawn, \u201cday by day into ever more perfect union with God and with each other, so that finally God may be all in all\u201d (SC<\/em> 48<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Through God\u2019s goodness, and the work of our hands, we may participate in liturgy with awareness and intention.\u00a0 The Liturgy serves to teach and train the faithful to be active in their lives of faith.\u00a0 In turn, living a life touched by the Liturgy means to live a life in which all our work is done with an awareness that we are serving God and those around us\u2014that all work might allow us to use our own particular skills and passions to work for Christ and for our Neighbor.\u00a0 Certainly, our young baker\u2019s neighbors have enjoyed the fruits of her labor! \u00a0But, there may be more to her baking than simply making cakes.\u00a0 If daily labor and the liturgical life truly feed one another, then, when our young baker is perfecting her skills and mastering her cream pie recipe, she is also perfecting her work in the Christian life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
