Splendour of the Liturgy

More about the book

Excerpt from The Splendour of the Liturgy IT is more important to make men see the Church in the divine purity of her inner life than to praise or defend her. She is the Mother whose catholic heart embraces the souls even of those who know her not, even of those who would destroy her. She is the Mother whose unwearied prayer rises every hour in praise or in supplication towards the most pure Beauty which alone can fill our souls, starved upon littleness, with its glory. This book seeks to make men see the light which illumines her countenance and the dream of Beauty glowing in it, and seeing them, recognise her as the dwelling-place of the Spirit and the Bride of the Lord.
