“[It is within the liturgy above all that] the Church is informed of her cosmical and eschatological vocation, receives the power to fulfill it and thus truly becomes “what she is”—the sacrament, in Christ, of the Kingdom. In this sense the liturgy is indeed “means of grace”…in the all-embracing meaning as the means of always making the Church what she is—a realm of grace, of communion with God, of new knowledge and new life. The liturgy of the Church is cosmical and eschatological because the Church is cosmical and eschatological; but the Church would not have been cosmical and eschatological had she not been given, as the very source and constitution of her life and faith, the experience of the new creation, the experience and vision of the Kingdom which is to come.”
