0:00.0	Welcome to the Thomistic Institute podcast. Every talk on this podcast was originally delivered at an in-person event for university students, perhaps for one of our Temistic Institute chapters on a university campus or at a Temistic Institute retreat or conference. These lectures and events are happening around the country and around the globe all the time.
0:22.1	To learn more, visit us at www.comisticinstitute.org and sign up for our email list.
0:29.6	We'll keep you posted about what's happening next.
0:32.0	And finally, please subscribe to this podcast, and don't forget to like and share these recordings
0:38.0	with your friends because it matters what you think.
0:49.1	We had proclaimed to us this morning, both in the reading from Hebrews and in Father Damien's homily,
1:00.5	the high priesthood of Christ, which I'm going to talk about in this talk, and Mary as the perfect participant in Christ's priesthood and the model for our participation in the priesthood of Christ.
1:21.4	So let's begin by asking our Blessed Mother to pray for us for a deeper understanding and a deeper participation in the

2:11.8	detailed outline. Sometimes a detailed outline is maybe more difficult and helpful. But anyway, it contains
2:21.8	most of what I'm going to say. So we're going to begin by talking about what liturgy is and then
2:28.1	move to think about precisely this question, the issue of theological matter, which is a great importance of the High
2:35.7	Priesthood of Christ.
2:37.9	So the term liturgy is a direct borrowing from Greek.
2:46.0	The Greek term that we render into English as liturgy is Lightragia.
2:52.1	And what it means is public service.
2:56.3	Lightergia is a public action or service, and especially a public religious service.
3:07.1	Or a public religious activity, an activity directed toward a God.
