Editorial Reviews
Review
The Second Vatican Council desired that the great treasures of the Church's liturgy be better known and loved by all the faithful. . . . More than ever, today we need a sound theological, spiritual and practical formation in the great tradition of the Church's divine worship. This valuable book, with its contributions from various academic disciplines, will help to promote the spirit of the liturgy, according to the intentions of Pope Benedict XVI. --Antonio Cardinal Canizares Llovera, Prefect of the Congregation of Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments
It is easy to forget that the earthly liturgy--the everyday Eucharist of our parish churches and communities--is nothing less than a foretaste of the liturgy in which Christ and the whole company of heaven gives perpetual glory to God the Father. As they explore the various aspects of the Roman rite, the contributors to this splendid volume remind us of the celestial dimension of our liturgical celebrations at the same time that they help us to appreciate the theological and spiritual treasures of the liturgical tradition of the Church. --Archbishop J. Augustine Di Noia, OP, Secretary of the Congregation of Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments
