Many people inside the church think God cares only that we obey. In fact, many believe that it is even more honorable--and therefore more righteous--when we obey God against all desire to obey Him.

Sveti Augustin piše: "Gospodine, najbolji su tvoji sluge koji žele svoj život prilagoditi tvojim odgovorima, radije nego da prilagode tvoje odgovore svojim željama." Trebamo svoje živote uskladiti s Božjim naukom, a ne prilagođavati Božji nauk načinu na koji želimo živjeti.

The task of liturgy is to order the life of the holy community following the text of Holy Scripture. It consists of two movements. First it gets us into the sanctuary, the place of adoration and attention, listening and receiving and believing before God. There is a lot involved, all the parts of our lives ordered to all aspects of the revelation of God in Jesus. Then it gets us out of the sanctuary into the world into places of obeying and loving ordering our lives as living sacrifices in the world to the glory of God. There is a lot involved, all the parts of our lives out on the street participating in the work of salvation.
