Boselli provides us with a genuine mystagogy, leading to a profound appreciation of the depths of the liturgy and rooted solidly in the Scriptures and the early Christian writers. His work brings out the nature of the liturgy as primarily a gift from God, God's work among us, calling us to listen to his word and respond. It will be of enormous value to ministers, scholars, and the worshiping faithful alike.\u003cbr\u003e John F. Baldovin, SJ, Professor of Historical and Liturgical Theology, Boston College School of Theology and Ministry\u003cbr\u003eThis book offers a sound mystagogy based primarily on Scripture and the writings of the fathers that will be of value to those engaged in the task of liturgical formation.\u003cbr\u003e Paul F. Bradshaw, Professor of Liturgy (Emeritus), University of Notre Dame\u003cbr\u003eReading Boselli's book is like going on retreat. He has meditated deeply on links between liturgical actions and the words of Scripture. You will enter a profound reflection on the Eucharist you share and the life you lead.\u003cbr\u003e Paul Turner, Pastor, St. Anthony Parish, Kansas City, Missouri; Facilitator, International Commission on English in the Liturgy\u003cbr\u003eIn this book, we come to understand better the connections between what we do in the liturgy and our spiritual relationship with Christ. Contemplation and interiority arise from ritual action and communal experience: this is the paradox that makes this volume a precious occasion for personal and communal reflection on the topic.\u003cbr\u003e Andrea Grillo, Professor of Sacramental Theology, Pontifical Atheneum of Saint Anselm, Rome\u003cbr\u003eThis important book reminds us again and again that the liturgy is primarily not about what we do for God but what God does for us in a unique way through the liturgy. Throughout Boselli penetrates to the spiritual heart of the liturgy. A much-needed book at a time when debates about liturgy are all too often about externals, not the inner depth of what liturgy is and does. The author's invitation that we truly `listen' to God speaking to us through word and sacrament-as simple as that sounds-is a much-needed lesson not only about liturgy but about the Christian life.\u003cbr\u003e Rev Msgr. Kevin W. Irwin, The Catholic University of America\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Spiritual Meaning of the Liturgy\u003c\/i\u003e comes from one of Europe's premier liturgical theologians and provides a collection especially recommended for scholars and theologians interested in the meaning of the liturgy and its applications to everyday life and spirituality. . . .
