Liturgical Intercession and Monastic Theology
Renie S. Choy
Abstract Chapter 2 situates the intercessory performance of Mass within Carolingian monastic theology. It presents an analysis little-known theological writings Benedict Aniane, and describes his emphasis on relationship between love, beatific vision, prayer. In highlighting this typically overlooked but foundational component in understanding, I refute caricature Aniane as mainly a legislative abbot more interested building liturgical ritual civilization than interior dimensions life. The chapter identifies Aniane’s additions to reveals reasons for interest its elements.
