What is a "Liturgy"?

                              Liturgy is a public work or service done on behalf of the people.  To Catholics, it means publicly participating in the work of God.  Liturgy can refer to divine worship, the proclamation of the Gospel or acts of charity.  Through the Liturgy, the people continue the work of God. 
                              "Christ, our High Priest, continues the work of our redemption through the Church's celebration of the Paschal Mystery by which he accomplished our salvation".
                          
                                                          (Catechism of the Catholic Church, #1067-1069).
