Description

There are few documents in the history of the Church that have impacted the everyday lives of Catholics quite as much as the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy. The promulgation of this document, and the later implementation of its prescribed liturgical reforms, affected every parish, in every diocese around the world. Over the last fifty years, scholars have strived—and continue to strive—to unravel the rich insights of this remarkable document, providing us with a better understanding of its vision for the liturgical life of the Church.

Exploring the depths of the Constitution, the history of liturgical reform, and the need for ongoing liturgical renewal, All Gathered Here assembles the fruits of much of this labor, offering profound insights from some of the most respected scholars and liturgists from around the country. In this 95-minute film, viewers will discover the people, the events, and the ideas that contributed to both the promulgation and the implementation of the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy. Perfect for individual or classroom use, this film examines the Constitution chapter by chapter, presenting relevant information regarding the historical context and liturgical precedents of this important document in an insightful, yet accessible, format.

Reflections from All Gathered Here:

“The whole liturgical movement was on a grand trajectory leading towards what the Council articulated in Sacrosanctum Concilium…that the renewal of the Church and the renewal of the world begins with the renewal of the liturgy.” —Rev. Msgr. Richard B. Hilgartner, STL, STD, Executive Director, Bishops’ Committee on Divine Worship

“I think that it is important to reread the documents of the Second Vatican Council in light of the liturgical constitution because the liturgical constitution was the first document approved by the Council, and…we have in the liturgical constitution the most original insights in terms of theology, in terms of what Vatican II wanted to be about, in terms of our understanding of the Church and what kind of Church is the Catholic Church.”—Massimo Faggioli, PhD, Assistant Professor, University of St. Thomas
