'The liturgical system is not just something which we have to use on particular occasions : it is the very texture of the Christian life'. Yet at the outset of the book Dom Trethowan faces the fact that it is not everyone who in his heart thinks so, even among Catholics. His statements comprehensively cover the work of the Liturgy. If we are Catholics at all we accept it as reality, and as a transcendent reality and it is the whole function of this book to make the reality real to us. NOT EX LIB R1. Very Good/Very Good.
