Priest says Christ still does everything today as he did when He walked among us

| Father Bill Burke |
The B.C. Catholic has a story by Chris Miller about a talk given by Father Bill Burke, director of the National Liturgy Office for the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops, about Vatican II:
Many people have said: “If I had been there when Jesus walked the earth, and if I had seen him raise Lazarus, and I had seen him cure the sick, I would have no trouble believing.”
“Pope Leo the Great said something so simple, it is almost shocking. He said there were people who witnessed it, and they didn’t believe. They were no luckier than us,” said Father Bill Burke, director of the National Liturgy Office for the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops.
“Everything Christ did when he walked among us, he still does today. It has passed over into the Church and its liturgy.”
Father Burke said liturgical experiences such as music, gestures, objects, the voice of the priest, the procession, and even silence are expressions of the paschal mystery calling us to new life.
