Chapter XXIV. The Use Of Religious Ceremonies Dictated By Right Reason. By religious ceremonies we mean certain expressive signs and actions which the Church has ordained for the worthy celebration of the Divine service. True devotion must be interior and come from the heart, for "the true adorers shall adore the Father in spirit and in truth. For the Father indeed seeketh such to worship Him. God is a spirit; and they who worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth."407 But we are not to infer from this that exterior worship is to be contemned because interior worship is prescribed as essential. On the contrary, the rites and ceremonies enjoined in the worship of God and the administration of the Sacraments are dictated by right reason, are sanctioned by Almighty God in the Old Law, and by Christ and His Apostles in the New. The angels, being pure spirits without a body, render to God a purely spiritual worship. The sun, moon and stars of the firmament pay Him a kind of external homage. In the Prophet [321] Daniel we read: "Sun and moon bless the Lord, ... stars of heaven bless the Lord, praise and exalt Him above all forever."408 "The heavens show forth the glory of God, the firmament announces 408 Dan. iii. 62, 63. Though this passage is omitted in the Protestant Bible, it is retained in the Book of Common Prayer.
