Liturgy and pandemic

Abstract

This editorial reflects on the liturgical experience of ecclesial communities within the context of the COVID-19 pandemic that shook the world. The perspective that illuminates the reflections is that of an integral and dynamic vision of the Christian faith, which unites worship and life. The studies contained in the Liturgy Dossier of this Teocommunicação’s issues are taken into account: a) Arnaldo Temochko’s article on the Liturgy of the Hours as a possibility of prayer for families; b) the article written by Rudy Albino da Assunção on Benedict XVI’s Theology of Liturgy; c) João José Bezerra’s article that deals with Liturgy as a theological science and its relationship with other sciences; d) Michelle Girardi Lorenzetti’s article that deals with the liturgical-musical formative processes in the Archdiocese of Porto Alegre. At the end, it reaffirms the need to bring the different realities present in the pandemic closer to the liturgical experience of ecclesial communities.
