Saint Mary Liturgy Committee taken from "Persons in Liturgical Celebrations" by Lucien Deiss, C.S.Sp. Introduction The Constitution on the Sacred liturgy of Vatican II dates from December 4, 1963. Since its promulgation, our way of understanding and living the celebrations of the Christian community has been continually evolving. It would be an understatement to say the the principles worked out by Vatican II have proved to be of great fecundity: these principles do not cease to create new situations which in turn necessitate new solutions. The important thing is not the few steps that we have made in liturgical evolution. The important thing is to go forward. No one knows where we shall go -- I mean where the Spirit of Jesus, which never stops helping his Church, will lead us! I would like to take up here the question of ministries in the Eucharist celebration.
