Abstract
The turn of the second and the third millennium was an invaluable period to serve for an evaluation of the life and vitality of the liturgy. It is, therefore, important to remember those people who made a significant contribution to the enactment of the Second Vatican Council and subsequent development of the liturgical renewal movement within the Church. Hence, the idea to present the thought and works of Cyprian Vagaggini and Salvatore Marsili, two Benedictine monks who played a crucial role in the restoration of the liturgy to people, and in making it more understandable. The remembrance of their work is a call for increased efforts, now and in the future, in accordance with those perspectives which contribute to the development of liturgical theology.
