Burning Hearts and Liturgical Formation

Sr Louise Gannon, RSJ, outlines some of the modern challenges of liturgical formation and invites us to explore different approaches, especially a dynamic process of mystagogical reflection. The best experiences invite an encounter with the mystery of God’s presence and inflame the hearts of all the faithful.
