Always, especially today, the Church seeks its roots in its liturgical institutions and particularly in the mystery of the Holy Eucharist.

Within this, the very work of our salvation is fulfilled: the communion, through the grace of the Holy Spirit, of the divine nature with human nature; the mystical incarnation of the Son of God and the communion of our mortal nature with His glorified Flesh, leading to theosis and our salvation.

There is no better ointment for opening the eyes of our soul to this mystical world than the "Interpretation of the Divine Liturgy" by Saint Nicolaus Cabasilas, perhaps, has ever been written.

The classic patriarchal text in this genre retains as much freshness and relevance as the sacred text of our Liturgy itself because it is a genuine and authentic commentary on it.

Both are written under the illumination of the grace of the same Holy Spirit, who led the Church to record, interpret, and understand our liturgical tradition.
