What does the liturgy of the church include?
from Modern Catholic Dictionary by John A. Hardon, S.J. Doubleday & Co., Inc. Garden City, NY 1980
Liturgy. A public service, duty, or work. In Scripture it refers to the religious duties to be performed by priests and Levites in the Temple, especially those related to the Sacrifice; in Christian use among the Eastern Churches it means the Eucharistic Sacrifice.
In present day usage liturgy is the official public worship of the Church and it thus distinguished from private devotion. It is the special title of the Eucharist, and the administration of the sacraments with the annexed use of the sacramentals.
From a theological viewpoint, the liturgy is the exercise now on earth of Christ's priestly office, as distinct from His role as teacher and ruler of His people. Christ performs this priestly office as Head of His Mystical Body, so that Head and members together offer the sacred liturgy. Its function therefore, is twofold: to give honor and praise to God, which is worship, and to obtain blessings fro the human race, which is sanctification.

Is there an English translation of the post-Vatican II Ambrosian Rite Liturgy of the Hours?
The Ambrosian rite differs in some ways, many from the conventional rites and practices of Roman Catholicism. It is contained within Western Europe, in fact, mainly in Italy. St. Ambrose, for whom the rite is named was Bishop of Milan. I don"t know much about the rite but it is within the overall structure of Roman Catholicism but has some distinctive rites and practices. The Church calendar is somewhat different. Advent, for example, is six weeks rather than four as in normal Roman practice ( therefore, St. Nicholas, the prototype of, we all know who- falls inside advent. He is just outside advent in Roman church practices. I know because my parents were married on Dec.6. There are other differences in church costumes ( the Red vestment is used quite often, the the RC church it is reserved for celebrating martyred saints") Red indicating Blood. It is unusual as it is a variant on Roman catholicism right inside the borders of Italy!- and in a major industrial and commercial center as Milano. Imagine, if you will, the Detroit Rite. ( In my father's garage, there are many stalls!) sorry about the joke.
What is the response to he priest for the word of the lord?
The expressions of Sacred Scripture are not at all like whatever other writings we will ever listen, for they not just give us data, they are the vehicle God uses to uncover himself to us, the methods by which we come to know the profundity of God's affection for us, and the obligations involved by being Christ's supporters, individuals from his Body. Besides, this Word of God declared in the ceremony has an extraordinary hallowed energy to achieve in us what it broadcasts. The Word of God declared at Mass is "solid" that is, it not just lets us know of God and God's will for us, it additionally helps us to put that will of God into practice in our own particular lives. How, then, do we react to this awesome endowment of God's Word? We react in word and tune, in stance and motion, in quiet contemplation and, most essential of all, by listening mindfully to that Word as it is declared. Taking after every understanding we express our appreciation for this blessing with the words "Thanks be to God" or, on account of the Gospel, "Acclaim to you, Lord Jesus Christ," and it is suitable that a brief time of quiet be seen to take into consideration individual reflection. Taking after the main understanding we sing the Responsorial Psalm, a contemplation on God's oath through the roused expressions of one of the hymns from the psalter, the Bible's supplication book.

Is liturgy the work of holy trinity?
No, it was first demonstrated by Jesus Christ when he broke bread and drank of the wine at what we know as The Last Supper. The sacrament is to remember His sacrifice and to renew our own covenants which we have made with Him.
What is the difference between Canon Law and Liturgical Law in Catholic Church?
Canon Law is the broader body of Roman Catholic Church law based on their interpretations of the Scriptures and is also based on the Church's traditions and customs accumulated over the centuries. Canon Law is the means by the which the Church governs and administrates the Church over the entire world to maintain unity and conformity. For example, divorce is not permitted but one can obtain an annulment and this involves proving that a marriage was no marriage to begin with. All petitions for annulment are forwarded to the Roman Rota, a body of high clergy within the Vatican City who skilled in Canon Law. There are many grounds on which one may petition the Church eg. if either party to the marriage can prove that his/her partner entered the marriage without the intention of having children, this is an excellent reason to petition the Rota as the Roman Catholic Church believes that marriage is mainly for the purpose of procreation. The process of annulment may, on many occasions, take several years.
The Liturgical Law of the Church is a sub-category but an important one, contained within canon law. These laws govern how the rites and rituals of the Church should be observed, again for the purpose of unity and regularity of the entire Church. Liturgical Law governs such things as the vestments worn by the priest celebrating the Mass, the placement of the altar and tabernacle, the placement of lecterns (reading stands) and other church furniture. Liturgical laws also governs the respectful way the priest and the faithful behave ie. the posture of all those involved in church ceremonies, whether it be sitting, standing or kneeling. Liturgical Law also governs all the innovtions of Vatican II such as who may dispense holy communion, women's role in Church ceremonies, the sign of peace and general respectful behaviour and silence, especially during the Mass.
Can the Rite of Christian Initiation super cede the Sunday Liturgical Readings?
If it is a regularly scheduled Sunday Mass at the time and place appointed by the Bishop, then the readings must be of the Sunday. If the Bishop or priest is having a later Mass just for the RCIA, then they may use any readings approved by the Bishop, check with your local Chancery.

What are the 7 main liturgical actions of the church called?
The seven liturgical actions referred to are called "sacraments" coming from the Latin word "sacramentum", meaning "sacred sign". From ancient times the Roman Catholic Church has traditionally referred to them as initiation rites into the divine life offered by the Church instituted by Jesus. It should be noted that following the Second Vatican Council during the late 1960s and early 1970s the Church made attempts to modernise themselves and this affected the terminology used to describe the sacraments and a regrouping of how they were to be viewed. Below is a list of the sacraments under their traditional and modern terminology.
Traditionally, those sacraments are: 1) Baptism, whereby infants or adults are given their first sign of Jesus' grace. This sacrament is said to wash away "original sin" ie. the sin of Adam and Eve who ate the fruit of the tree of knowledge. 2) Confession (now known as Penance and Reconciliation) whereby the baptised person must admit to sins committed against the teachings of Jesus. 3) Penance, which is now grouped with Penance and Reconciliation - see item number 2 above. After having confessed one's faults one must perform an act of "punishment" meted out by the priest hearing the confession. In ancient times that "punishment" could be quite harsh eg. flagellation (whipping). Nowadays, one is required to say prayers prescribed by the priest and feel true sorrow for one's sins 4) Holy Communion (now known as 'Eucharist'). One is now considered worthy to receive the communion wafer which is believed to be the actual body of Christ. 5) Confirmation, whereby one is formally welcomed and admitted into the community of the Church. 6) Marriage or Holy Orders. In ancient times society recognized only two lifestyles. One either married or entered into Holy Orders as a priest, monk or nun. 7) Viaticum (now known as Anointing Of The Sick). Traditionally this sacrament was only dispensed when a person was at the point of death and this was the last solace the Church could offer before one died and made their journey into the life after death. Unlike The Viaticum which was only administered once, the Anointing Of The Sick can be administered as often as necessary.
The seven sacraments are now regrouped under different headings as listed below.
SACRAMENTS OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION:
Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist
SACRAMENTS OF HEALING:
Penance and Reconciliation
Anointing Of The Sick
SACRAMENTS AT THE SERVICE OF EUCHARIST:
