In his own article, Austin highlights Vatican II\u2019s \u201ctheology that sees not just the ordained minister but the entire assembly as the proper subject of liturgical actions\u201d (page 105).<\/p>\n<p><strong>What will get you thinking? <\/strong>The articles that build on Vatican II\u2019s baptismal ecclesiology in describing the contemporary challenges this ecclesiology and its expression in worship offer to\u00a0all the baptized. Consider how the \u201cnew cosmology\u201d critiques not only the world that the liturgy presents \u201cthrough all its symbolic languages\u201d but also the way we express foundational beliefs exposed by those languages (Catherine Vincie, RHSM).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Global.<\/strong> One of the interesting things about this collection of essays is the diversity of authors and, therefore, the diversity of perspectives they bring to the study of liturgy and its implications for church and Christian life. Not surprisingly, several authors share the North American academic contexts in which Austin taught (The Catholic University of America, The Blessed Edmund Rice School for Pastoral Ministry). Others, however, have experienced his teaching and his personal influence in other contexts and nations, such as Australia, that are now emerging as sources for new and interesting approaches to the church and its liturgy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A challenge and a prayer.<\/strong>\u00a0It is indeed a fitting tribute to Father Austin and his work. It is appropriate, therefore, as a summary of the riches in this work, to pray with Father Austin himself (page 118): May the liturgical reform and renewal through which we are now living inaugurate a new life cycle of the church, a new beginning where our liturgy is truly a foretaste of heaven, a sign of that kingdom that will know no end, a sign of that kingdom where there will be no Jew of Greek, no slave or freeperson, no male or female, but all will be one, in Christ Jesus!
