Abstract

The Church, which is the Mystical Body of Christ, gives to the believer incorporation into this mystery but it also requires of them assent to its divine origin. The faith is presented to the believer through this reality both in the ancient symbols of the Church but also in its liturgy, which is the primary theological ground allowing a person to profess and celebrate faith that is rooted in the Church of Christ.

In this study the author recalls some assumptions of the relationship between the liturgy and the Church, reflects on the liturgy sees as a sacred space for manifesting faith and reflects on the ars celebrandi and its impact on building faith in the Church of Christ.
