Editor’s note: The Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy not only called for the reform and renewal of the Church’s liturgical books, but also allowed for their translation into vernacular languages. While most of the Latin typical editions have been revised by now, bringing them into a “form that both testifies to the stability achieved and is worthy of the mysteries being celebrated” (Vicesimus quintus annus, 20) is an ongoing task being taken up by bishops’ conferences.

I wish to express my encouragement and my affectionate closeness to those who have committed their lives in the wake of this servant of the Church, or who are working to make his life and work better known.

2025 marks the 25th anniversary of the English translation of Joseph Ratzinger’s landmark book, The Spirit of the Liturgy. To celebrate this significant work and its impact on the life of the Church, the Society for Catholic Liturgy will dedicate its 2025 annual conference to this topic and the liturgical legacy of Joseph Ratzinger-Benedict XVI.
