Sinopsis

There is an ancient Christian saying from the Patristic Era which is known in its most concise form asálex orandi, lex credendi. As theáCatechism of the Catholic Churchátranslates it: 'The law of prayer is the law of faith: the Church believes as she prays.'While the elegant simplicity of the phrase contains an abundance of wisdom, the liturgy has always been subject to forces that threaten to reduce this understanding to partial interpretations. As several observers have noted, these reductions include the 'archeological' approach-explicating the liturgyâÇÖs historical origins but in the process treating it as a dead letter-and the sociological approach-focusing on liturgy as little more than an expression of contemporary concerns.InáLiving the Liturgy: A Witness,áFather Luigi Giussani (1922-2005) restores a more balanced view, reminding us that (according to Roberto BraschiâÇÖs introduction) in the liturgy 'God is itsápres¡ent subjectáand that the essence of every celebratory action is the possibility of a gaze toward Him-because it is always from Him that the dialogue with humanity moves.' The memorable, bracing insights ináLiving the Liturgyáwere taken from conversations that Father Giussani had with members of the international lay movement he founded, Communion and Liberation.
