Not to worry, though, for part of our job as Christians is to be athletes of faith. As athletes we need our exercise, speaking of which: A few years back, one of my hometown newspapers asked a minister about a church he was opening. He said something like: "We won't have any of that boring old ritual. We want people to feel good about themselves in our services." I wrote to the paper that I had, respectfully, to dissent. Whether feeling "good about ourselves" is 1) itself a worthy goal, 2) an end to which God calls us, or 3) one churches ought to pursue anyway, is a big question. For now, let's dismiss it with a C. S. Lewis paraphrase: Seeking only things that make us "feel good" would be like trying to subsist on nothing but cotton candy. We would soon get very sick. The Encyclical March, 2013 Page 1
2 Parents know that their children would like to try such a diet, but responsibly say "No" and insist that they eat their vegetables. Spiritual fathers should do likewise for their flocks... and, as with our children, diligently teach them (Deut.6:7). Vegetables may be an acquired taste, but they are good for our bodies. Liturgy, which that anonymous minister derided as "ritual," is good for our souls. The English word comes from two in Greek that mean "the people (at) work." Like any sort of work, formal worship will seem dull if you refuse to engage it. To one who sits on the sidelines of a football game and has never played, or who watches without bothering to learn the rules, even a hometown playoff will seem pointless. You've got to get in the game! How do you do that? First you go, and you go with an open mind. You look, listen, and judge not. And you get a guide, someone to explain it to you. One failure of the clergy in the last century (one of many) was a failure to educate. They took the liturgy for granted, and anything taken for granted, even the most meaningful of relationships, can wither and die. Liturgy is the relationship of God and Man acted out, made public and collective even as it remains uniquely individual. All the people in the pews, not just those leading the service, participate in the liturgy by their acts of intention, by joining their prayers to those fixed by tradition. And tradition, while certainly old (ancient, in fact) is no more boring than exercise is to us when we're doing our own workout! When we care about our bodies we refuse to let them atrophy. We listen to those who know how to care for our physical health. We talk to our doctors, nutritionists, maybe even get ourselves a personal trainer, all of whom know what they know in large part because they have learned from those who have gone before them in their subjects. The same goes for our souls. Our clergymen can be, if we want them to be, and they are serious about us and their jobs, our spiritual trainers. Make us do so! Make us tell you why. Traditions explained can come alive and refresh us like a good swim on a hot day. There are plenty of places to go to get good feelings. There's nowhere but church to go to get right with God. As I've told my pre-teen: Boredom is in the lazy eye of the beholder. Don't let yours blind you. "Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will refresh you," Jesus says (Matt.11:28). We have an Olympiad of Liturgy coming up in Holy Week and Easter. It s the perfect time to tell your friends to try the traditional, liturgical church. Tell them to come with you and eating your worship vegetables and get some spiritual exercise. Tell them to Come and See. The Encyclical March, 2013 Page 2
