Greetings to all from Liturgy Brisbane.
With this issue we focus on the recent Apostolic Letter by Pope Francis (29 June 2022) on the liturgical formation of the People of God. The title of this document, Desiderio desideravi – “I have ardently longed” derives from the words of Jesus which open the account of the Last Supper (Luke 22:15). This apostolic letter outlines Pope Francis’ theology of the liturgy derived from the principles spelled out in Sacrosanctum Concilium. It is addressed not only to bishops, priests, deacons, and consecrated men and women, but to all the lay faithful. Pope Francis highlights the importance of formation for the liturgy, with liturgical catechesis that focuses on the rubrics, theology and beauty of the liturgy. Yet he holds this in balance with the need for formation by the liturgy, in which those participating in the liturgical celebration are open to being formed through their encounter with Christ.
This edition provides a link to the document itself, to an article which highlights key elements and emphases of Pope Francis' message, and to a short collection of 10 quotes from the document. In this issue you will also find a link to a short video in which Fr John Baldovin explores this latest apostolic letter from Pope Francis.
We have also included a sneak-peek at the covers for the 2023 annual publications.
Orders for these books, and for electronic annual resources will open on September 1, 2022.
With very best wishes from all of us at Liturgy Brisbane.
