I am so tired of hearing folks say, "we have to make it relevant." The unchanging liturgy is on the lips of the communion of saints, soldiers on the battlefield and the elderly on their deathbeds. When we change it every 20 years, how can we memorize it? It is a disservice to everyone who participates in the liturgy - the elderly, the mentally retarded, and children. The liturgy is the respiration of the church -- God speaks and we speak his words back to him. We must defend it. Yes!
