Description

In the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, the Fathers of the Second Vatican Council wrote that liturgical reform and renewal must accord with what they called “spirit of the liturgy”. But what did they mean by this? Popes had written and spoken about this spirit in the decades before the council, but another important source is the 1918 book THE SPIRIT OF THE LITURGY by Romano Guardini, which Pope Benedict XVI credits with sparking the liturgical movement in Germany. This book is a study of Guardini’s watershed text. With contributions from Bishop Arthur Serratelli, Cassian Folsom, O.S.B., Michon Matthiesen, David Fagerberg, Daniel Cardo, Bishop James Conley, Emery de Gaal, and Susan Benofy, as well as Christopher Carstens, it analyzes each of the seven core features of the liturgical spirit as Guardini defined it: objective, corporate, universal, symbolic, meaningful, beautiful, and logical.
