Perhaps the first merit of The Year Made Holy is to accept this situation of fact, and to make the most of it. The directive idea is simple: to exploit the riches of the variable texts of the Sunday and feast~day Masses, texts which are in fact the principal source of most Catholics' formation and meditation, but whose liturgical and devotional sense is often passed over unnoticed. In the form of liturgical homilies, Msgr. Premm explains the variable texts of all the Sundays and feast days in the ecclesiastical year. Already an outstanding success in Germany and in Ireland, his book is not only a surprising revelation of the diverse lines of thought reunited in each Mass but a constant reminder of the significant ebb and How of liturgical time and of our intimate relation to it. The Year Made Holy is an eloquent appeal for the development of a deeper appreciation for the central Christian mystery; it is at the same time a sensitive and sensible aid toward accomplishing just that. Read as a brief preparation before Mass, these homilies excite the heart and the mind to an intelligent, fervent participation in "the time of God." Instead of a lethargic reading along with the priest ~ an unthinking mechanical repetition ~ they make possible a living meditation, an informed, adult, awareness.
