Description

Crucifixion to Creation shows the roots of Catholic liturgy can be traced back from the Crucifixion through to the worship in Solomon’s Temple, and further to the Tabernacle made by Moses, then back to the Garden of Eden and even beyond.

This book examines eternal elements of Holy Mass, the immutable pattern underlying them, the personal cause of unity in all Creation, and the greatest wonder on Earth. The book also surveys how drastic changes within the Church since the 1950s tear up the ancient roots, obscuring the Way to God.

What was lost by our first parents in Paradise was returned myriadfold by Christ on Calvary — we lost a fragile immortality but gained participation in imperishable, divine immortality. The Mass of Ages transmits to us that Life from the Cross which exceeds the offer of every fruit in Eden. Crucifixion to Creation is written to elevate our participation in Holy Mass and to awaken the deepest love for Tradition, for this draws us into eternity — that is, into divine charity and into knowledge of the love of all the saints and angels.
