📱 eBook en inglés LITURGICAL FEASTS AND SEASONS

Liturgical Feasts and Seasons, in this third volume of paper, from Thomas Mertons conferences during his decade (1955-1965) as novice master at the Cistercian Abbey of Gethsemani, his insight into the liturgical pattern of the Christian year and beyond is presented in fresh detail. Mertons own commitment to this central dimension of Christian life is clear, and nowhere more so than in his work introducing students to the patterns that would mark their lives as monks. Though dating from the period just before the liturgical reforms of Vatican II, Mertons commentaries remain pertinent. The thoroughly annotated text is preceded by an extensive introduction situating this material in the context of Mertons lifelong writing on liturgy. Moreover, as his former student Br. Paul Quenon notes in his foreword, this context is one deeply rooted in Mertons understanding of Scripture. These notes . . . take us into one mans lifetime of reflection and seasoned experience of the Church Year. In the Liturgical Feasts and Seasons: Novitiate Conferences on Scripture and Liturgy 3, Patrick F. OConnell deeply rooted in Mertons understanding of Scripture.
