Digital Verbum Edition
As the second Vatican Council stated, “the liturgy is the summit toward which the activity of the Church is directed; at the same time it is the font from which all her power flows.” Every moment of the liturgy is filled with meaning and significance; therefore, understanding the liturgy—and all the elements that make up the liturgy—is key to understanding the Catholic view of God, of worship, and of our place in the world.
This collection brings together some of today’s most interesting explorations of often overlooked aspects of the liturgy. Here you will find engaging looks at the history and impact of both liturgical music and the creed as well as breaking open the homilies of one of the church’s most profound and revered theologians. These works will help you understand and draw fresh meaning from the liturgy.
