Worship
When we come to Mass we come to worship God!
Yet, God does not need our worship to make himself complete as he is already complete. So why do we need to worship?
We come to worship because we need to thank him for all that he is, we are creatures who, because of our fallen state are not complete, worship brings us closer to Him. When we worship Him, we imitate the angels and saints who surround His throne in heaven. we are drawn out of this life and catch a glimpse of the next. The Mass is not just a human ceremony or social gathering, it is a participation in heaven here on earth.
While God doesn’t need our worship in order to be complete, our worship is still a duty – we owe God thanks for all that he does for us.
This is a duty that we can perform cheerfully, knowing that, in doing so, we are participating briefly in the life of heaven.
Fulfilling Our Duty:
There are many ways in which we can give an extra back to God for the good that He does for us.
One of these ways is to offer your service during the celebration of the Mass as Eucharistic Ministers, Lectors, Ushers and Altar Servers.
Please contact the parish office (303-455-9090) if you wish to volunteer for any of these services and we will put you in contact with those in charge of these ministries.
