In this informative and inspiring resource, Father Bernier explores the five main rhythms of the liturgy of the Eucharist: the gathering rhythm, the storytelling rhythm, the prophetic rhythm, the nurturing rhythm, and the missioning rhythm. He shows how these rhythms are meant to lead us into a deeper sharing of Christ's life, both in the liturgy and in every moment of our days. For all who want to deepen their appreciation of the Eucharist.

If the liturgy is truly to be the source and summit of our lives, we need to look more closely at what we are really doing when we celebrate Eucharist. So says the author in this simple, clear, and perceptive book. Fr. Bernier shows how the liturgy is meant to help us learn to dance to God's tune, a movement that was danced to perfection by Jesus, and whose melody is repeated over and over in the Eucharistic Liturgy. He explores the five main rhythms of this liturgical, divine melody: the gathering rhythm, the storytelling rhythm, the prophetic rhythm, the nurturing rhythm, and the missioning rhythm. He shows how these rhythms are meant to lead us into a deeper sharing of Christ's life, both in the liturgy and in every moment of our days.
