It comes as no surprise that allusions to liturgical worship are ubiquitous in his writings. 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 and to which God is calling us throughout our lives. 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 a large number and wide range of Newman’s writings, ranging from the Tracts for the Times and Parochial and Plain Sermons to the Letter to Pusey, Apologia Pro Vita Sua, and Grammar of Assent. 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Os Justi Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40347517583458,"sku":"2","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":40347517648994,"sku":"4","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"eBook","offer_id":40347517616226,"sku":"3","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0566\/1353\/5842\/files\/newman.jpg?v=1685486684"},{"product_id":"the-liturgy-the-family-and-the-crisis-of-modernity","title":"The Liturgy, the Family, and the Crisis of Modernity","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eOr purchase locally in \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/aroucapress.com\/our-books\/os-justi-studies\/the-liturgy-church-modernity\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCanada\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e and the \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/lms.org.uk\/product\/liturgy-family-and-crisis-modernity\"\u003eUK\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe decline of the Catholic Church in the developed world has been accelerated in the last decade by a devastating series of scandals involving sexual abuse by Catholic clergy.

Ellard movingly sings the praises of the traditional (Tridentine) sacramental rites as practiced in the Roman Church at the time of the book's composition, drawing on Scripture and the Church Fathers to illuminate their meaning and increase the faithful's fruitful participation. In keeping with the movement's appeal to the Christian imagination, the chapters are adorned with simple but expressive drawings by a well-known artist of the time, Adé de Bethune. The running commentaries on the texts of the Mass and the other sacraments are unquestionably edifying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the other hand, the book is filled with confident historical assumptions and assertions that would, later on, come under intense critical scrutiny and often be refuted by better research-alas, not before they had been enthusiastically adopted in wave after wave of reforms culminating in the creation of new rites in the 1960s, which marked so radical a departure from tradition that even a relatively \"avant garde\" book like Ellard's became practically irrelevant overnight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eChristian Life and Worship\u003c\/em\u003e thus serves as a reminder both of the Liturgical Movement's often noble aims and of the catastrophic effects of reformatory zeal unchecked by profound respect for what is given and received.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Os Justi Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":42244182868066,"sku":null,"price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":42281922265186,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0566\/1353\/5842\/files\/christianlife.jpg?v=1760795223"},{"product_id":"mass-in-transition-ellard","title":"The Mass in Transition","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn the first quarter of the twenty-first century, numerous Catholics, having rediscovered the treasures of tradition that pioneers of the Liturgical Movement such as Dom Prosper Guéranger savored and sought to disseminate, are now casting about for explanations of what exactly happened in the upheavals of the 1960s—why so many things were changed so drastically, and who was responsible for it. Naturally, the sources for such research are abundant, but many are poorly known or hard to come by.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA case in point is the present work, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Mass in Transition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. Jesuit Father Gerald Ellard was a famous popularizer of the “best ideas” of the Liturgical Movement—whether in fact they turned out to be for the best or otherwise. His work is largely forgotten today because of the tsunami of change that overtook not only the unsuspecting laity but also many lower-level liturgists, who, if they were not part of the innermost circles, could hardly have dared to believe the magnitude of the revolution in Catholic worship that was about to come, leaving behind a mountain of suddenly outdated literature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFr. Ellard’s book is a fine specimen of the kind of detailed commentary specialists of the 1950s were writing in order to prepare clergy and laity for the advent of what they perceived as long-overdue and hard-won revisions to the Mass (not to mention much else in Church life). First published in 1956, the year when Pius XII’s “restored” Holy Week came into effect, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Mass in Transition\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003epresents with admirable forthrightness the agenda of a mid-century American liturgist, an agenda he attributes, with varying degrees of plausibility, to a succession of popes from Pius X through Pius XII. It is thus a valuable historical witness from which we can learn a great deal about the state of discussion, the expectations, the prejudices and errors, that together served as preconditions for revolution.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Slowly and thoughtfully the Church has acted. Changes have come into being; others are being considered. For man years Father Ellard has observed the growth of the liturgical reform with an expert eye. His earlier work, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Mass of the Future\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e . . . has been completely rewritten and retitled \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Mass in Transition.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStarting with the simplification of the calendar, the Rubrics for the Mass, and the Breviary, Father Ellard immediately places the reader in the midst of the whole movement. . . .
