In a wide-ranging interview on May 9, in the Spanish magazine Omnes,\u00a0<\/em>Archbishop Arthur Roche, prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship, revealed that a document on liturgical formation is currently being prepared in Rome, to assist the world’s bishops in rising to the challenge of liturgical formation for all the baptized, not only priests and seminarians.<\/p>\n

The necessity of this deepening of liturgical formation of the People of God is a direct corollary of the liturgical reforms of Vatican II, he explained. The normative vision set forth by the conciliar reform is that all participants in the liturgy have their role to play and all are called to participate in the prayers and actions of the liturgy fully and consciously.<\/p>\n

Fidelity to this process of liturgical formation is also a logical necessity of the affirmations Pope Francis made in his recent motu proprio, Traditionis custodes,<\/em> restricting the use of the older rites. The reformed liturgy embodies “today’s ecclesiology” the Archbishop said, and therefore is formative of the church’s life and mission.<\/p>\n

Regarding the forthcoming document, Archbishop Roche said it will aim to go beyond rubrics to reach the reasons why we celebrate, and the Mystery that we are celebrating:<\/p>\n

I think that at this moment there is a lack of liturgical formation.\u00a0It is very interesting to remember that in the years prior to the Council there was a liturgical movement, with a patristic, biblical and ecumenical foundation;\u00a0and the Council offered the possibility of a renewal of the Church, also regarding the liturgy.<\/span><\/p>\n

I think that at this moment the aim is only to comply with the rubrics of the Liturgy, and that seems a bit poor to me.\u00a0Theologically, the reason was the celebration of the Mystery.<\/span><\/p>\n

For this reason, two years ago the Holy Father asked this Congregation to hold a plenary meeting of all its members to discuss liturgical formation throughout the Church: from bishops to priests and laity.\u00a0And indeed, a document on this matter is currently being prepared.\u00a0Possibly it will materialize in a letter to the Church on the importance of formation.\u00a0What do we do when we meet every Sunday for this celebration? What is the point of that assembly?\u00a0Not just an obligation to do something every week, but what do we do?\u00a0What do we celebrate at that time?<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Prefect also commented on inculturation and beauty in the liturgy as important themes.<\/p>\n

You can read the whole interview here.\u00a0<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Pray Tell readers, if you had a say in what should be included in a document on liturgical formation, what would be your own ideas? What priorities you would want to see set forth?<\/p>\n
