Excerpt from An Experimental Liturgy The Liturgy of the Word is centred not on the altar but on the Book. In the Scripture readings, taken on Sundays and feasts from the old as well as the new Testaments, we listen to God's word to us. The Creed though originally not part of the liturgy, is said on Sundays and is our reply to the proclamation of God's word. The petitions of the litany of intercession bring before God first the needs of the Church, the mystical Body of his Son, and then of all mankind.
