LITURGY The use of art forms in the Liturgy is most effective when they are natural, spontaneous. They appeal to everything in human nature which it is the aim of the Liturgy to transform. Christ, the . Great Artist, so dealt Avith men, and the Liturgy is Christ working in and through the Church. St. Paul copied the Master: "I became all things to all men, that I might save all." (1 Corinthians 9, 22). Consider the dramatic intensity of the quick transition this year from the con­ templation of the Crib to the contempla­ tion of the Cross.
