The life and thought of John Henry Newman were permeated with the
ceremonies and hallowed texts of Christian liturgies, which he
celebrated for over six decades. The "ordinances" of the Church,
her rich panoply of rites handed down through the centuries, are,
for Newman, doors or windows into the heavenly society for which we
were created. As Newman says in a number of places, we are given
our time on earth to begin to live, through personal prayer and
corporate worship, the life of the blessed in heaven. This volume
gathers over seventy texts from all periods of Newman's long
career. Forty-four of Newman's incomparably great sermons are
included in full. That Newman deserves his reputation as one of the
finest spiritual writers of modern times and the greatest prose
stylist of nineteenth-century England is abundantly demonstrated in
these spirited and subtle reflections on the duty of reverence, the
benefits of ritual, and the privilege of divine worship.
