Vatican II stimulated the Christian community to move toward the rediscovery of the Mastery revealed by Jesus through the signifying power of symbolic action. Actions and Words provides a clear understanding of the liturgical action so that the spirit of the faithful may reach toward the salvation extended through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Good basic introduction to liturgical action,
By
This review is from: Actions and Words: Symbolic Language and the Liturgy (Paperback)
This is one of two studies on ritual action that I easily recommend to interested laity (as opposed to liturgists). In the 24 actions, Donghi covers all the common gestures. Donghi is firmed rooted in the post-Vatican II church - thinking to include being seated and listening in his actions. That it to say that the actions of the assembly are not considered as ancillary to the Eucharist but as a significant action in their own rights.

A breath of fresh air,
By "cutesysmart" (Melbourne, VIC AUS) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Actions and Words: Symbolic Language and the Liturgy (Paperback)
Antonio Donghi's book is like a breath of fresh air in liturgical reflection. He writes simply yet effectively. When least expected his words plunge into the heart of the reader seeking a response. As one in study reads to gain knowledge and understanding it is also refreshing to find the gift of conviction and wisdom. l am sure it will be read and re-read in time to come. God bless and thank you to Antonio for this treasure.
