Description
THE 40 YEARS SINCE THE SECOND VATICAN COUNCIL called for reform of the liturgy have brought new liturgical books with new rites, and a liturgy that Catholics hear and respond to in their own language. But why did the Council call for these reforms?
An Abundance of Graces explores how the des ire for spiritual renewal prompted liturgical reform, and how a further implementation of the Council’s teaching on the liturgy could help that desire to be realized on an even deeper level today.
As an added reference, An Abundance of Graces also contains Vatican Ifs Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy and two Church documents that helped prepare the way for it: Pius X’s Motu Proprio on Church music, Tra le sollecitudini, and Pius XII’s encyclical Mediator Dei.
