There now is need for serious revision of the principlesPrinciples and norms in Sacrosanctum Concilium if worship is to move beyond a pale re-inventing of things RomanRoman and take seriously the encounter with all cultures and languages. To achieve this, our essay investigates the sense of the ‘immutability’ of the liturgy, the Eurocentricity of the norms: noble simplicityNoble simplicity and organic developmentOrganic development, and the limited theology of tradition within the Constitution. Further, it opens up traces of the future in current practice, including the demise of the ‘book’. All this is of little value if it loses sight of the great eschatologicalEschatological vision. The groaning of the earth awaiting fulfilment, encountering Jesus in the least, and the final hymn of glorification bought at the cost of martyrdom, offer a counter to any reduction of liturgy on earth to a particular language and a predetermined set of culturally circumscribed texts.
