Summary/Abstract: This study is intended as an outline of the main elements which compose a genuine symphony between the Church’s mission and the celebration of the Holy Liturgy. The Holy Liturgy, whose message is far from becoming out-of-date or its content being reduced to ”aggiornate” (up to date) versions, remains the same mystical participation in the Last Supper, in the sacrifice and ressurection of our Lord. Its message is even more relevant in the spiritual void brought about by postmodernism. Consequently it is due for the Church’s mission to develop with sympathy a dimension the liturgical ministration, able to fill this void and it ought to do it.
