Abstract
This essay seeks to analyze the condition of postmodernity through the Polish sociologist Zygmunt Bauman. Postmodernity, better characterized as liquid modernity, culminates in a forgetfulness related to both narrative and meaning. Joseph Ratzinger's liturgical and sacramental theology serves as a medicine for this forgetfulness, grounding the act of worship in a liturgical metaphysics of tradition, citizenship, and culture. The enactment of Ratzinger's liturgical metaphysics is carried out through a more inclusive ressourcement, an appreciation of liturgical stability, attention to the evangelizing quality of liturgy as an act of remembering, and the promotion of a liturgical metaphysics grounded in the gift.
