"Our faith is stronger than death, our philosophy is firmer than flesh, and the spread of the Kingdom of God upon the earth is more sublime and more compelling. We Catholics must pray, act and sacrifice together for Christ the King, for the spread of His Kingdom and the salvation of the world. We Catholics, together, can conquer the world.
The Liturgy, then, is common worship, concorporate worship, worship in one mind and with one heart, and with one mouth. Our common action in the Sacrifice of the Mass, impersonal, anti-individualistic is the best weapon against the world.
"Pius X tells us that the liturgy is the indispensable source of the true Christian spirit.
"Pius XI tells us that the true Christian spirit is indispensable for social regeneration.
"Hence the conclusion: The Liturgy is the indispensable basis of Christian social regeneration.""
"Liturgy and Sociology"By Dorothy Day
The Catholic Worker, December 1935, 4.
