Msza święta
Książka Adrienne von Speyr skrywa prawdziwe skarby. Szwajcarska autorka dokonała w niej tego, czego tak bardzo brakuje współczesnemu uczestnikowi liturgii Eucharystii. Ożywiła rytuał, który przez wielokrotne powtarzanie zatraca świeżość i powszednieje, mimo że wyraża najgłębsze i najbardziej żywotne prawdy wiary. Niewielkie zaangażowanie uczestników, którzy w trakcie celebracji walczą o utrzymanie uwagi, zdaje się prowokować duszpasterzy do uatrakcyjniania formy, tak by w zużyte ceremonie tchnąć nowy entuzjazm. Tymczasem zwycięstwo w walce ze spowszednieniem nabożeństwa leży nie w zmianie form, a w odczytaniu duchowej treści Eucharystii.

About the author
Adrienne von Speyr
139 books42 followersAdrienne von Speyr was a Swiss medical doctor and the author of over 60 books on spirituality and theology.
Von Speyr was born in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. Her father, Theodor von Speyr, was an ophthalmologist. Her mother, Laure Girard, was the descendant of a family of noted watchmakers and jewelers from Geneva and Neuenburg. Speyr was her parents' second child.
Speyr's mother scolded her daily and this led her to form a strong trust and devotion to God, as well as a recognition of the meaning of sacrifice and renunciation. She formed a deep relationship with her grandmother, a holy and pious woman. She also had a devotion to her father, who treated her with mutual respect and understanding, often taking her with him to the hospital to visit sick children. In her primary school years she began working with the poor and even formed a society with her friends for those living in poverty.
Speyr became a Roman Catholic on 1 November 1940, the Feast of All Saints, when she was 38, under the spiritual direction of the prominent priest and theologian Hans Urs von Balthasar.
She is considered by many to have been a mystic and is reputed to have had mystical experiences of the Trinity and the saints.
While in a state of contemplative, mystical prayer, she dictated to Balthasar over 60 books, including commentaries on the Bible and various theological topics. With Balthasar she co-founded a secular institute, the Johannesgemeinschaft (Community of St. John). Her reputed mystical experiences grew in frequency until her death in Basel, Switzerland, on 17 September 1967.

Książka, która pogłębia spojrzenie na Eucharystię niezależnie od tego czy czytającym jest kapłan, czy świecki. Przypomina wiele prawd, które dziś są niepopularne albo zapomniane wskutek zmian w liturgii.
To, co ważne, zawiera w sobie teksty Mszy Świętej, której przeżywanie dało źródło przemyśleń i rozważań, jakie stanowią zasadniczą część tej książeczki, dzięki czemu czytelnik nie znający liturgii Mszy Świętej sprzed Soboru Watykańskiego II może się z nimi zapoznać.
