Liturgical notes

The proper celebration of the liturgy, in accord with the norms of the Church, is essential to passing on the apostolic faith, since the rule of prayer (lex orandi) corresponds to her rule of belief (lex credendi).

Furthermore, the principle shall be respected according to which each particular Church must be in accord with the universal Church not only regarding the doctrine of the faith and sacramental signs, but also as to the usages universally handed down by apostolic and unbroken tradition. These are to be maintained not only so that errors may be avoided, but also so that the faith may be passed on in its integrity, since the Church’s rule of prayer (lex orandi) corresponds to her rule of belief (lex credendi).

General Instruction of the Roman Missal §397

The solemnity of Sts Peter and Paul is a reminder of our solid apostolic foundations, and the need to remain faithful to the Word that has been handed on through the life of the Church.
