THE SPIRIT OF THE LITURGY by Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger

Description

Considered by many scholars to be Pope Benedict XVI’s greatest work on the Liturgy, this profound and beautiful treatment of the "great prayer of the Church", written before Cardinal Ratzinger became Pope, will help readers rediscover the Sacred Liturgy in all its hidden spiritual wealth and trancendent grandeur at the very center of the Christian life. This book presents  Pope Benedict XVI’s vision for the role a genuine renewal of the Sacred Liturgy must play in renewal of the Church and her mission in the world today. That vision begins with a deepened sense of what it means to worship God, a sense that is the heart of the Church’s Liturgy. Paper.
