Without absolution, who is there to comfort our dread and assure our terrified consciences with Christ's own voice?
Without the Kyrie, where will the spiritually blind and broken learn how to cry out for mercy?
Without the Gloria, who will teach us that true praise is not manufacturing our own emotional highs, but rejoicing in the peace God brought down to earth?
Without the Collect, how will we learn to pray according to God’s promises rather than our own passing desires?
Without the lectionary, who will guard the flock from the pet topics, blind spots, and limited horizons of the preacher?
Without the Creed, where is our anchor against the shifting winds of cultural doctrine?
Without the preached Word, how will Christ be unburdened and distributed into the ears and hearts of the congregation?
Without the Sanctus, who will remind us that at this altar we kneel in the presence of the Holy God and with the whole host of heaven?

Without the Benediction, with what assurance will we walk back into our daily callings and face the assaults of the world?
