Suggestion: Add Fr. Louis Bouyer's works
Fr. Louis Bouyer was a French Catholic convert, liturgist and theologian who played an important if often sidelined role in the liturgical reforms of the late 1960s, popularized the term "Paschal Mystery", and was otherwise influential in the era of the Second Vatican Council. He would have been made a cardinal, had he not turned the honour down.
And all we have of his in Faithlife's collection so far is a single lonely article.
Here's a partial list of his works in English. I can personally recommend The Fourth Gospel, his excellent commentary on the Gospel of John.
“The trouble is that everyone talks about reforming others and no one thinks about reforming himself.” St. Peter of Alcántara

Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

I read Fr. Boyer's "Introduction to the Spiritual Life" for the Introduction to Spirituality class at the seminary. It is a classic in the genre of spirituality, I would very thankful to have that in my digital library. That was probably my favorite class, Monsignor John was an outstanding professor.

I know! I want his works too.
We also have an essay by him in The Liturgy and the Word of God which is well worth reading. This is one of my favorite topics.

The now-in-PrePub Ignatius Press Catholic Ecclesiology Collection (3 vols.) happily contains one of Fr. Bouyer's works, The Church of God: Body of Christ and Temple of the Holy Spirit. The collection is presently $34.99 USD.

The Memoirs of Louis Bouyer: From Youth and Conversion to Vatican II, the Liturgical Reform, and After have just been published in English. This would be wonderful to have in Verbum.
