Spirit of the Liturgy

Originally written in 1918 by one of the great theologians of the 20th century this profound reflection on the nature of liturgical worship still stands as a guiding light for today's renewal of worship and prayer. In poetic terms it clarifies the underlying principles and existential implications of the belief that when Christians join in the Eucharist and other liturgical celebrations they do so not as discrete individuals but as interconnected members of the one People of God.
