The New Evgengilization

Brian Williams, AKA "The Liturgy Guy" has another excellent recap and analysis of the talk, “The Old Mass and the New Evangelization: Beyond the Long Winter of Rationalism” that I recently linked to here.

In his recap is a wonderful quote by Bishop Athanasius Schneider presents an excellent expression of what I and others have been attempting to say.

"Only on the basis of adoring and glorifying God can the Church adequately proclaim the word of truth, that is, evangelize. … Everything about the liturgy of the Holy Mass must therefore serve to express clearly the reality of Christ’s sacrifice, namely the prayers of adoration, of thanks, of expiation, and of impetration that the eternal High Priest presented to His Father. … How can we call others to convert while, among those doing the calling, no convincing conversion towards God has yet occurred, internally or externally?"
