The council fathers were intentional when it came to reforming the liturgy. The document states, “The liturgy makes the work of our redemption a present actuality.” The council fathers believe that the liturgy and the heavenly sacrifice of the Eucharist was a distinguished channel through which the faithful conveyed in their daily life and demonstrated to other faithful the enigma that is Christ and the actual nature of the legitimate church.
The fathers believed that it was significant for the church to be divine while still being as human as possible, as it had been gifted with invisible resources. The council fathers saw the church as being enthusiastic to act while determined and deep in thought, and existed in the world at the moment but did not yet feel at home in it. The Councilors believed that liturgy built up those who were within the church to become a dwelling place for the lord. The intention of the fathers was thus to bring more people into the church and thus to God through reforming the liturgy.
