    Connuing to explore the relaonship of the liturgy
    and the devoonal treasury of the Church, in light of
    the Churchs teaching on this sub0ject.

    What is priestly prayer? It is the prayer of the Christ


    throughthechurchfortheworld.OurChrisanbelief
    is that Christ is sll gathering us together around his
    wordandisslloeringaneternalactofloveforthe
    world. As an extension of that we believe that
    whenever we meet together, in a church or
    elsewhere, to gather around the scriptures or to
    celebrate the Eucharist we are entering into that
    prayer and sacrice of Christ. This is liturgical prayer;
    its Christs prayer, not ours. We pray liturgically
    whenever we gather to celebrate the scriptures, the
    sacraments, or when we pray, in community or
    privately, something that is called the Prayer of the
    Church or the Oce of the Church (Lauds and
    Vespers).

    And this kind of prayer is not restricted to the


    ordained clergy. We are all priests by virtue of our
    bapsm and part of the implicit covenant we make
    with the community at our bapsm is the
    commitment, when we reach adulthood, to pray
    habitually for the world through the liturgical prayer
    ofthechurch.

    What needs also to be highlighted here, since we


    easily miss this aspect, is that the churchs liturgical
    prayer is for the world, not for itself. The church, in
    this world, does not exist for its own sake, but as an
    instrumentofsalvaonfortheworld.Itsfunconisto
    save the world, not itself. In liturgical prayer we pray
    withChrist,throughthechurch,butfortheworld.
