'Because the Sacred Liturgy is truly the font from which all the
Church's power flows...we must do everything we can to put the
Sacred Liturgy back at the very heart of the relationship between
God and man... I ask you to continue to work towards achieving the
liturgical aims of the Second Vatican Council...and to work to
continue the liturgical renewal promoted by Pope Benedict XVI,
especially through the post-synodal apostolic exhortation
Sacramentum Caritatis...and the motu proprio Summorum Pontificum...
I ask you to be wise, like the householder...who knows when to
bring out of his treasure things both new and old (see: Mtt 13:52),
so that the Sacred Liturgy as it is celebrated and lived today may
lose nothing of the estimable riches of the Church's liturgical
tradition, whilst always being open to legitimate development.'
These words of Robert Cardinal Sarah, Prefect of the Congregation
for Divine Worship, underline the liturgy's fundamental role in
every aspect of the life and mission of the Church. Liturgy in the
Twenty-First Century makes available the different perspectives on
this from leading figures such as Raymond Leo Cardinal Burke,
Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone, Abbot Philip Anderson, Father
Thomas Kocik, Dom Alcuin Reid, and Dr Lauren Pristas. Considering
questions of liturgical catechetics, music, preaching, how young
people relate to the liturgy, matters of formation and reform,
etc., Liturgy in the Twenty-First Century is an essential resource
for all clergy and religious and laity involved in liturgical
ministry and formation. Bringing forth 'new treasures as well as
old,' its contributors identify and address contemporary challenges
and issues facing the task of realising the vision of Cardinal
Sarah, Cardinal Ratzinger/Benedict XVI and the Second Vatican
Council.
The first investigation into the choral foundation of the Chapel
Royal, Dublin Castle. The Chapel Royal, Dublin Castle, was the
place of worship of the British monarch's representative in Ireland
from 1814 until the inception of the Irish Free State in 1922. It
was founded and maintained by the joint efforts of church and
state, and thus its history provides valuable insights into how the
relationship between religion and politics shaped Irish society and
identity. The Dublin Chapel was established in imitation of the
Chapel Royal of St James's Palace, London, and was served by a
staff of clergy and musicians. Its musical foundation was a formal
and independent entity, with its own personnel and performance
traditions. Its distinctive repertoire included music from the
English and Irish cathedral traditions, as well as works written by
composers associated directly with the Chapel. This study
investigates the Chapel's constitution, liturgy and music through
an examination of previously unexplored primary material.
Discussion of the circumstances of the Chapel's founding and its
governance structures situates the institution in the context of
the church-state relationship that existed following the Union of
1800. Further, by exploring architecture, churchmanship and musical
style, O'Shea demonstrates how the Chapel was part of a wider
aesthetic and liturgical tradition. The choral foundation is
brought to life with accounts of the Chapel's clergy, organists,
boy choristers and gentleman singers, which provide insights into
Dublin's social history during a period of significant change. This
book reflects on the Dublin Chapel Royal's legacy a century after
its closure and offers a new perspective into a forgotten corner of
Irish cultural, religious and political history.
Before the advent of printing, the preaching of the friars was the mass medium of the middle ages. This edition of marriage sermons reveals what a number of famous preachers actually taught about marriage. David D'Avray teases out the close connection between marriage symbolism and social, cultural, and legal realities in the thirteenth century; and assesses the impact of this preaching.
Completely updated to reflect the sweeping changes in worship
patterns which began with "The Liturgical Revival" and culminated
in the adoption of the 1979 Book of Common Prayer.
Chapters cover preparations for the various services of the
Church, plus special celebrations such as Advent, Christmas, Lent,
Holy Week, and Easter, weddings, burials, ordinations,
consecrations, and others. A glossary of church terms is
included.
This study examines the scriptural justification for believers to
expect the Eucharist to be a place where God will come and bless
them with freedom and formation. Bubbers' focus is not on liturgy,
but rather on the biblical message of the benefits of participation
in the Eucharist. Why keep this Feast? Why is Eucharist important?
Bubbers' interpretive approach is a synthesis of
historical-literary aspects of Biblical Theology and
canonical-creedal aspects of the Theological Reading of Scripture,
taking into account the biblical-historical place of Eucharist, as
well as its ongoing presence within the Church. Bubbers begins by
displaying the Last Supper as a Passover meal which bridges between
Old Testament motifs and the New Testament Feast. She then shows
that the Exodus context reveals a paradigm which links blessing
with remembrance, and suggests that the remembrance motif describes
these blessings. Finally, Bubbers gathers a catalogue of specific
blessings, summarized by freedom and formation. Her conclusion is
that the Feast is a divinely designed paradigm for worship, which
is accompanied by a promise of transformational encounters.

Kirstie Blair explores Victorian poetry in relation to Victorian
religion, with particular emphasis on the bitter contemporary
debates over the use of forms in worship. She argues that poetry
made significant contributions to these debates, not least through
its formal structures. By assessing the discourses of church
architecture and liturgy in the first half of the book, Form and
Faith in Victorian Poetry and Religion demonstrates that Victorian
poets both reflected on and affected ecclesiastical practices. The
second half of the book focuses on particular poets and poems,
including Browning's Christmas-Eve and Tennyson's In Memoriam, to
show how High Anglican debates over formal worship were dealt with
by Dissenting, Broad Church and Roman Catholic poets and other
writers. This book features major Victorian poets - Tennyson, the
Brownings, Rossetti, Hopkins, Hardy - from different Christian
denominations, but also argues that their work was influenced by a
host of minor and less studied writers, particularly the Tractarian
or Oxford Movement poets whose writings are studied in detail here.
Form and Faith presents a new take on Victorian poetry by showing
how important now-forgotten religious controversies were to the
content and form of some of the best-known poems of the period. In
methodology and content, it also relates strongly to current
critical interest in poetic form and formalism, while recovering a
historical context in which 'form' carried a particular weight of
significance.
Comprehensive catalogue of the hagiographical lessons in Sarum
breviaries, with key studies of the most crucial elements. Sarum
Use was the most widely used form of the liturgy in late medieval
England, but its service books were much less standardized than
their modern counterparts. The lack of uniformity is particularly
marked in Sarum breviaries' lessons on saints, which can vary
enormously from copy to copy. This book is the first comprehensive
examination of those lessons and the manuscripts that preserve
them. It provides a catalogue of over 80 manuscripts and 12 early
printed versions, giving a brief description of each one, sometimes
correcting previous views of its date and provenance, and
identifying each copy's divergences from the standard Sarum roster
of saints. The book also identifies the textual families into which
the manuscripts fall and the extent of their divergence from the
lessons in both the early printed versions and the inadequate
nineteenth-century edition on which modern scholars have previously
depended. The author's findings offer an introduction to the
unexpectedly rich variety of hagiographical lessons that survive,
identify some of the sources behind them, and shed new light on the
ways in which the Sarum breviary developed and was disseminated in
the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries.
This convenient pocket-sized book contains the necessary texts for

Tried-and-tested collection of creative resources for the Church's
year
The book gives an account of various movements in art and their
relation to the visual and in churches and in liturgy, for example
the Franciscan movement, different approaches to the crucifixion,
and the restoration of creation. It recovers the links between the
cross and creation, and relates the baptismal covenant to a
commitment to care for creation.
