Nicolau Cabasilas, an eastern lay theologian of the 14th century, left one of the most profound reflections on liturgy and spiritual life. In his book Life in Christ he described the experience of his deep friendship with Christ through the liturgical celebration of the sacraments. The present text underlines the importance of Cabasilas in the liturgical spirituality of the Church, with the purpose of knowing and deepening the life of Christ that is communicated to us through the sacraments and to which we remain attached with the collaboration of our will. The liturgy is an expression of authentic spirituality. Life in Christ in its various phases is founded on a listening to the Word, on the experience of the Mystery and on the vision of Glory, and will be perfect in the next life when we shall hear the Voice of the Silence of God.
