Since the Second Vatican Council, there has been an ongoing dialogue about the importance of the homily in the liturgy. The 2008 Synod on the Word of God and more recently, Pope Francis' Evangelii Gaudium, has really brought the homily into focus. The Homiletic Directory gives clarity of content and purpose to homilists, with the aim of deepening the connection between God and those who worship him. It also serves to encourage the faithful to feel a greater sense of participation in the liturgy and a stronger link between the Scriptures and life, including worship...

Published originally between 1946 and 1950, it is faithfully and handsomely reprinted (all 3 volumes) in simulated leather hardbound with gold-embossing, sewn binding, a marking ribbon, and per the originals: red and black text throughout and plainchant notation! All 3 volumes are also completely indexed in both Latin and English! Even more important for those who adhere to the traditional Rituale Romanum is that Fr. Weller prudently retained the Vulgate Psalter for all of the Latin renditions of the antiphons and psalms, while faithful English translations of the various liturgical hymns were rendered by Fr. Matthew Brit, OSB (from his own book, The Hymns of the Roman Breviary and Missal). As stated in the Foreword of his first completed volume (Vol. III in 1946), Fr. Weller compiled his set of The Roman Ritual for the clergy "as a manual and reference" and f..

The Dynamics of the Liturgy is a constructive critique of the post–Vatican II liturgical reform through the lens of Joseph Ratzinger's liturgical and sacramental theology—written by a former student of the great pope emeritus. For Ratzinger, liturgy is the oxygen of the sacraments, and his sacramental theology, still largely unknown, is the key to understanding his theology of liturgy.

Father Vincent Twomey warns that the Ordinary and Extraordinary Forms of the Roman Rite—which Pope Benedict XVI had promoted to enrich liturgical practice—are dangerously drifting apart rather than, as the pope emeritus intended, complementing each other as part of an authentic renewal of the liturgy...
