SSF 104 – Introduction to the Sacred Liturgy

This introductory course follows the lead of the Catechism of the Catholic Church and considers how the Church celebrates the Christian Mystery—the plan of God to restore all things in Christ. Christ’s Paschal Mystery—his suffering, death, resurrection, and ascension—carried out in the flesh during his earthly life continues today in the Church’s sacred liturgy. After seeing how the Trinity works in the liturgy, we will explore how its work is made present today through sacramental signs (such as objects, actions, language, music, etc.). It is by these signs that men and women of every age come face to face in a most powerful way with Jesus.

This course is offered in collaboration with Adoremus as one course in the four part series, Mystery and Mission in the Sacred Liturgy.
