Imbued with the Spirit of the Liturgy: Ten Insights from Vatican II’s Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy helps readers recognize the deeper insights behind the changes that infuse the liturgy we celebrate today. Author, Rev. Joshua Ryan Brommer, STL, leads readers through the document’s consideration of the Paschal Mystery, sacramentality, the practice of the early church, noble simplicity, the esteemed place of Scripture in the Mass, the importance of the assembly’s full, conscious, and active participation, the ministerial role of the laity, catechesis on the liturgy, the Church’s relationship to the arts, and the perspective of the Liturgy of the Hours as a prayer for all in the Church.

This is a great resource for discussions with liturgical ministers and parish staff and as a formational tool with liturgy committees and parish study groups. This user-friendly booklet aims to convey a glimpse of the exciting build up to and early days of the Council.
