#127 Why is worship related to health?

Religious rituals such as the celebration of the Eucharist, the sacraments and festivals throughout the year create meaning, give structure to life and embed the individual in a community. Theologian Peter Ebenbauer looks at what the practice of Christian worship can contribute to a good life. He shows which aspects are conducive to the health of body and soul and where outdated, anxiety-ridden ideas are still hidden. Ebenbauer is also involved in a new version of the German missal. The aim is to make the liturgical language of prayer compatible with current social developments. This includes, for example, gender-sensitive formulations and numerous newly created prayer texts.
