Greetings to all from Liturgy Brisbane.
In this edition of LitEd, we journey together through the manifold ways in which our liturgy reveals the glory of God and the dignity of every believer.
We begin by reflecting on the rich symbols that shape our worship and guide our hearts toward the mystery of Christ. From there, we encounter the Transfiguration—not merely as a moment on Mount Tabor, but as a living grace that lifts our everyday lives into the light of God’s presence.
We move next to the Assumption of Mary, celebrating how her singular dignity foreshadows our own destiny in the communion of saints.
Finally, we draw near to the Cup of Communion, where Christ offers himself that we might be drawn more fully into the saving Paschal mystery.
Together, these four insights weave a tapestry of transformation: symbols that speak, feasts that beckon, dignity that uplifts, and sacraments that unite. We hope these articles will inspire you to see anew the signs of God’s grace at work in the living liturgy of your community.

SymbolsThis article traces how our inherently symbolic humanity is richly expressed in Catholic liturgy, where every gesture, object, and ritual word becomes a living sign of Christ’s presence and the identity of the Church.
Mary’s Assumption and Human DignityThe upcoming solemnity of the Assumption of Mary powerfully affirms the exalted dignity of every human person, and reminds us that Mary is a profound symbol of hope and healing for body and soul in a broken world.
|
The Reality of the TransfigurationThe love of God, dramatically unveiled in Jesus’ glory on Tabor and experienced in modern Christian experience, calls us into a transformative encounter with God that empowers us to love and be transfigured in turn.
Communion from the ChaliceBishop Paul Bird reminds us that Communion from the chalice gives an opportunity to contemplate the rich symbolism of the Eucharist and to participate more fully in Christ’s sacrifice .
