Liturgy and Personality

"The principal point of the book you are about to read is that the liturgy of the Church decisively shapes a healthy personality. Hildebrand insists throughout the text that the primary purpose of the liturgy is not to form the personality but to give proper praise to God, the supreme value. Nevertheless, precisely by ordering human beings to thoroughly to God, the liturgy does in fact, as a derivative effect, contribute to their flourishing." - Bishop Robert Barro

Important book

I can see this book being required reading for seminarians and priests and liturgists. It is also excellent for the lay person seeking a better relationship with God, the Church and reality! I will happily do my part in recommending it!
