Paragraph:

1069 The word "liturgy" originally meant a "public work" or a "service in the name of/on behalf of the people." In Christian tradition it means the participation of the People of God in "the work of God." ⁵ Through the liturgy Christ, our redeemer and high priest, continues the work of our redemption in, with, and through his Church.
