A deeper look at the texts, but also beyond the texts, examining:

§         The Liturgical Act:  How can the spirit of the new texts have a positive influence 
on the liturgy as a whole?

§         Liturgical Language: How is the liturgy expressed in word, gesture, sign and symbol?

§         Rekindling the spirit of the Liturgy: How can we lead our people to a renewal in worship and from there, a renewal of the life of the church.?

	Rev. Paul Colloton	1. Chants of the Missal  With an eye to the General Instruction of the Roman Missal and Sing to the Lord: Music in Catholic Worship, Fr.
