Office of Worship

"This is the sublime reality; humanity reaches the heights; it speaks to God and makes itself heard in heaven with the voices of all: of children, of men and women, of the suffering. Humanity sings a hymn to the glory of God “in the highest,” and asks for and receives “peace to his people on earth.”" 
- Pope Saint Paul VI, Homily, 27 March 1966
