It was his glad hope that after the call by the Second Vatican Council for liturgical reform, the Church might shift its focus from that of mere ceremonial (though important) to the broader idea of true liturgical action, an act which "embraced not only a spiritual inwardness, but the whole man, body as well as spirit."
Ia mengharapkan bahwa setelah seruan Konsili Vatikan II terkait reformasi liturgis, Gereja dapat mengalihkan fokusnya dari sekadar seremonial (kendati penting) ke pemikiran yang lebih luas mengenai tindakan liturgis yang sebenarnya, tindakan yang "tidak hanya mencakup suatu kebatinan rohani, tetapi keseluruhan manusia, tubuh dan juga roh."
