Reseña del editor

In the 31 years since the promulgation of the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, practical application has taught us much about the value of its recommendations. This book assesses what has been accomplished in the reform of the liturgy and what may yet need to be done, pointing out certain practices lacking cohesion and making some suggestions. Father Nocent constructively appraises the important work of the Council in the spirit of the Council itself. Father Nocent structures his presentation under four major headings: "The celebration of the Eucharist", "Christian Initiation", "The Sacrament of Reconciliation" and "An overview". He draws on frequent references to ancient documents such as the "Apostolic Tradition", Justin's "Apology", the writings of St Augustine, St Ambrose, St Leo and St Cyprian, the Gelasian and other sacramentaries, early pontificals and Roman canons and ordos, with those references captured in footnotes organized so as not to impede the readability of the main text.

Nota de la solapa

In the thirty-one years since the promulgation of the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, practical application has taught us much about the value of its recommendations. Rereading the Renewed Liturgy assesses what has been accomplished in the reform of the liturgy and what may yet need to be done, pointing out certain practices lacking cohesion and making some suggestions. Father Nocent constructively appraises the important work of the Council in the spirit of the Council itself. Father Nocent structures his presentation under four major headings: "The Celebration of the Eucharist," "Christian Initiation," "The Sacrament of Reconciliation," and "An Overview." He draws on frequent references to ancient documents such as the Apostolic Tradition, Justin's Apology, the writings of St. Augustine, St. Ambrose, St. Leo, and St. Cyprian, the Gelasian and other sacramentaries, early Pontificals and Roman Canons and Ordos, with those references usefully and clearly captured in footnotes organized so as not to impede the readability of the main text. "This is highly recommended reading for all who are interested in liturgy but especially for those whose ministry is or will be in leadership roles, presiders and seminarians." FDLC Newsletter "Nocent's rereading of conciliar reforms offers pastoral liturgy at its best?a bold reassessment of ritual practice shaped by theological acumen and sober historical research."
