So, you're saying that when I danced before the lord during service, I was not honouring the Christ?

I've done my share of bowing down before the Lord, but what about rejoicing before the lord because of the sacrifice of the Christ on the cross?

But it doesn't work that well either. I kept looking at the Thesaurus but I couldn't find a word to match the "Catholic" meaning... I would like to hear what terms other people have used![/quote]
The word you are looking for is [b]anamnesis[/b]. It means we are there at the Cross NOW. This concept is seen in the passover sacrifice when the people say "this is the night of our passover as [b]we[/b] flee egypt".
The sacrifice is eternal, so at Mass WE ARE THERE.
