General Description:
A New Song for the Lord
Pope Benedict XVI (Joseph Ratzinger)
Not long ago, many people assumed that the goal of reforming the liturgy was to make it as accessible as possible. It is clear today that much more is at stake liturgy is not just a pragmatic matter but a central feature in our relationship to Christ, the Church, and ourselves.
"...Our entire search for the criteria of liturgical renew-al ultimately culminates in one question: Who do people say that the Son of Man is? (Matt. 16:14f.).... Only a close connection with Christology can make possible a productive development of the theology and practice of liturgy." —FROM THE PREFACE
