Veritas Signi


In the liturgy the sanctification of the man is signified by signs perceptible to the senses, and is effected in a way which corresponds with each of these signs... (SC 7)

The signs speak for themselves when they are carried out fully and sincerely. For example, Anointing with Chrism should not be reduced to mere smearing. A good liturgy is one that brings out the innate beauty of the signs by doing them in just the right measure--neither overdoing nor understating them.

How beautiful the hands that serve.
