In this brilliant work, addressed to the parish priest and the student, J.D. Crichton examines: what liturgy is for; how modern man, with his urban preoccupations and needs, is able to worship; how the liturgy is able to form community and express the Christian gathering's identity; what is meant by celebration, and whether celebration is possible in a 20th century setting; what the symbols of the liturgy are, how they answer to man's need, and how people today can respond to them. Within this framework he discusses in detail the New Order of the Mass, the reform of the Roman Calendar, the style, intentions and content of the new 1970 Roman Missal. NOT AN EX LIBRARY COPY R8.
