Dom Gaspar Lefebvre, O.S.B. (1880-1966) is perhaps the preeminent representative of the authentic Liturgical Movement. While better known for his internationally popular St. Andrew Missal, this book—originally entitled Liturgia—is his masterpiece.
The significance of this 1954 work, is explained in his Preface:
Let anyone desiring to be fully convinced [that a return to the liturgy as “a most efficacious means of ‘restoring all things in Christ’”] ...read the pages of Liturgia.
They have been written to explain the principles—too often unknown or misunderstood—which must guide the liturgical apostolate. In them we have endeavoured to show in how many ways the liturgy is the “primary and indispensable source of the true Christian spirit.”
Here are the contents of this magnificent work:
I. Liturgy and Catholic Action
II. Sermon Topics for Sundays
III. Select Biographies of Cited Authors
IV. Select Bibliography of Cited Works
Completely re-typeset and reformated for easier reading, each chapter features the lithograph headers and footers drawn by the famed Belgian illustrator, Rene De Cramer, that were included in the original 1924 English edition.
This enlarged reprint edition also includes several unique additions, such as:
The front cover is also noteworthy, as it was adapted from an original slip jacket designed by De Cramer for the early French editions.
Softcover. 276 pages.
I actually got a copy of the St. Andrew's Missal in 1958 when I was twelve and still have it and treasure it. It is a treasure. This book by Dom Lefebvre who was the main collaborator on the SAM is all about the Liturgy and is what the so called Liturgical Revolution should have followed. It is a gem and a masterpiece explaining all about the Mass, the Sacraments, and the Divine Office, which are all part of the Liturgy. I highly recommend this to every serious Catholic.
