In the Catholic Church, and in Christianity itself, it is recognized that there are, in general, two types of prayer. These two types have their origin in our ancestral Jewish heritage. And the two types are colloquially called public and private worship.

When we are willing to accept Jesus into our lives, everything else starts to make sense. When others don’t understand the Church or the Lord, let’s be patient. Love is patient. Sometimes it has to hide before it is revealed.

“Come to me all you who labor and are burdened and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). Jesus is capable of giving us rest because he is the one who forever reposes in the heart of God the Father. He is “yoked” to the Father in his divinity. But he is humbly “yoked” to us, sharing in our humanity.

As we continue throughout this year of Eucharist Revival, I’d like to help us develop a better understanding of what we do at worship. There are certain things: responses, singing, postures, etc., that we are invited to accomplish as a body of worshipers.
