During liturgy, all of our senses are engaged while we physically participate by singing responses, crossing ourselves and bowing. If we didn't comprehend, the aforementioned would be impossible. <br /><br />The iconostas separates heaven from earth - it is our glimpse into the divine, a foretaste (I'm not going to get into which Eastern Churches open/close the Royal Doors at what times). Not all has been revealed in our earthly state; and, hopefully, if a life has been well lived, we will see the kingdom of heaven after standing before the judgement seat.

We have to be as verbal and loud as possible or we aren't transformed by the words of the Mass. We have to understand all the words or no Christian transformation."<br /><br />It's a caricature (a picture, description, or imitation of a person or thing in which certain striking characteristics are exaggerated in order to create a comic or grotesque effect) of what I wrote and does not reflect what I think - at all.Fr.
