Today's Ministry Monday episode features NPM's 2021 Jubilate Deo Award recipient, John Baldovin, SJ. Fr. Baldovin reflects on Pope Francis's new Apostolic Letter on the Liturgy, "Desiderio Desideravi". Fr. Baldovin’s reflections focus on four main points, of which you will hear identified through interlude music:
Was this document expected?
What is the message of Desiderio Desideravi?
Liturgy and Theology of the Church
What does it mean for regular Catholics?
In addition, we’d like to thank the Boston College School of Theology and Ministry for allowing NPM to re-broadcast this reflection.
