Stop your silly rituals! Your robes and songs, your parades and fashions. Low church or high church there is no value in it if it is insular, if you think ceremony done right or wrong connects you to God. At its best these things are a deep poetry that moves us spiritually. Done wrong it is a game that distracts us from true worship: serving the poor.
If you are a person with no ceremony or ritual, learn to pray with liturgy! We are story formed people and need liturgy to retell our story.
If you are a highly liturgical person, abandon your rituals and learn to tell the story, the sacraments and the wonder in the world where your brothers and sisters are.
