that into which we are taken up

What H-GG says of language is true of prayer and liturgy as language, as a way of living.

The more language is a living operation, the less we are aware of
it. Thus it follows that from the forgetfulness of language that its
real being consists in what is said in it. What is said in it
constitutes the common world in which we live. … The real being of
language is that into which we are taken up when we hear it — what is
said.
- Hans-Georg Gadamer, Man and Language (1966)
