I can't help but believe he will grow up with the experience of abundance, with an expectation of asking for more and receiving more of the mystery of Jesus. Jurgen Moltmann, a German theologian, distinguishes between liturgy as feast and liturgy as ritual. Liturgy is a ritual when a relatively closed group, after years of practice, has drained the meaning out of the liturgy, and only empty ceremonies and symbols remain. A ritual is disturbed by anything unexpected, but the feast is open for spontaneous ideas and for accidents coming from outside. There are no disturbances in it, only surprises.
Strangers can participate in the feast too.
For a feast, only the framework is planned in advance. What happens depends on the participants themselves. The feast therefore opens up the traditional elements of the celebration and makes room for spontaneous and creative contributions. A ceremonial model corresponds to many people's liturgical experiences. But liturgy as feast creates a context in which we can learn to trust this experience.
