In this episode of the Rhythms of Faith Podcast, hosts J.J. and Kim speak with Dr. Tim O'Malley, Academic Director at the Notre Dame Center for Liturgy, about how the Church's worship shapes spiritual life and identity. Tim defines liturgical participation as \"attunement\" — a gift of grace that aligns body and mind with divine love, drawing on Balthasar and Heidegger — and argues that this framework must be broad enough to include children, people with intellectual disabilities, and anyone excluded by overly cognitive or activist conceptions. He reflects on his time in the Notre Dame Glee Club as a formative experience of harmony and listening, and describes his own daily practices of morning prayer and silence as essential disciplines for staying attuned to God. Tim discusses his Contours of Wonder project, funded by the Lilly Endowment, which works with parishes across the U.S. to form young children (and the adults around them) in wonder, gratuity, and contemplative imagination as preparation for receiving the Eucharist. The conversation takes a playful turn as Tim shares his fascination with comedy as a theological lens — the comic disposition, he argues, reveals the world's absurdity and points toward grace rather than control. The episode closes with Tim reflecting on his current work editing a volume on the theology of childhood and, in the tradition of the show's closing question, declaring himself a turkey.
