have had an impact on this landmark document and its subsequent interpretation and implementation?
How do these factors affect the task of liturgical renewal today?. |

of contemplative life in a contemporary setting. How can we take time in life’s busyness to meet
God in the interior place, the soul? Using reflections and musical settings based on texts by early
desert pilgrims and the writings of the mystics—ancient and contemporary—discover the eternal
beauty of God’s presence.
