On Father Lang's 'Turning Towards the Lord'

A very good friend of ours has forwarded a link to us pertaining to the great attention given within the last month to Father Lang's 'Turning Towards the Lord: Orientation in Liturgical Prayer'.

An Excerpt:

"For this reason, preserving and enriching the spiritual mysticism of the liturgy is no longer an option for us, but a duty. If the world falls into the pit of human self-sufficiency, thus becoming more thirsty for the infinite, the Church cannot help but offer the liturgy, because in Christ humanity is raised up into the divine presence. It is not by lowering itself to superficiality that the liturgy will motivate us to reflect the values of the infinite to the world, but by affirming these mystical and divine dimensions more and more. Today more than ever, this becomes a reflection of the prophetic role of the Church as well. Thank you, Fr. Lang, for this book which will help us to turn our gaze ever more toward the Lord."

These comments are from the Secretary for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, Archbishop Albert Malcolm Ranjith Patabendige Don.

Father Lang's involvement with Juventutem is certainly a blessing.
