Eucharistia and Gratitude

Being thankful is the characteristic Way of the Christian. That’s what the Eucharist indicates: giving thanks. Is there any time, ever, that we cannot give thanks to God? Never. https://t.co/291SRISInl

A Brief Historical Look at the Liturgy by Archpriest Andrei Ukhtomsky

Appealing to Vatican II on Participation?

Anyway, on to this part:

His Beatitude Sviatoslav gave two pieces of advice, which he received as a seminarian from his spiritual father Lubomyr Husar. "These tips have personally helped me a lot. The first thing he said - go to the Divine Services as a meeting. Not as a performance, but as a meeting ... We go to the Liturgy, not only to learn something there, to get some information, but to meet God. Moreover, to meet God Who wants to serve me. For Divine Liturgy is a moment when He descends from Heaven to serve me. Therefore, we call it the Service of God," convinces His Beatitude Sviatoslav.

And the second piece of advice: "Go to a meeting with God with this mood: 'God wants to say something to me, and I have to hear.' Believe me, if you go to the Service of God as to something new and different each time, God will speak to you. For the Lord God speaks. There are no two identical Divine Liturgies," says the spiritual leader of Ukrainians.

"And when you go out of worship, ask yourself: 'What did God say to me today?' You will see that you will come out of such a meeting with a full heart and a special word that God says to you," says His Beatitude Sviatoslav.

Who approaches whom? Just a note I wanted to make for continuing research on the notion of sacrifice.

His Beatitude Sviatoslav advised how to revive the Liturgy
Father and Head of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, His Beatitude Sviatoslav at a meeting with the youth during the national pilgrimage to Zarvanytsia shared his advice on how to enliven the Liturgy.
