“Worship and preaching that follow a particular book of the Bible is called Lectio Continua.”
― Robert E. Webber, Ancient-Future Time (Ancient-Future): Forming Spirituality through the Christian Year

“What I longed for was something that went deeper than pious ideas on morality or intellectually stimulating thoughts about the meaning of human existence, as good as these were. I wanted something that actualized the pattern of being in Christ. I wanted something that worked in my life, something that brought a realistic spirituality into being. I wanted something that ordered my life into the pattern of Christ’s life, death, resurrection, and coming again.”
― Robert E. Webber, Ancient-Future Time (Ancient-Future): Forming Spirituality through the Christian Year

“If we can speak so emphatically of the intrinsic value of the liturgical year, it is because we celebrate it together with Christ himself. The special nature of the church year is entirely due to the fact that the Lord himself presides over it and that he celebrates his mysteries with the church for the glory of the Father. Adrian Nocent”
