The Liturgy is for People Who Know Their Lives are Messy
This reflection explores why the liturgy—and religion itself—is meant for people who recognize the messiness of life. It emphasizes that Catholicism is not just a personal path to God but a reciprocal encounter where God approaches us through the sacraments, especially the Holy Mass. Drawing on Scripture and the witness of figures like Isaiah, Saint Paul, and John the Baptist, it shows how God works through disorder to bring harmony, peace, and transformation. The message is clear: the sacraments are not for the perfect, but for the broken—those seeking ongoing renewal through Christ.
