For the Visitor at Mass Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)A generous priest from Chicago's St. John Cantius parish gave me a copy of this helpful booklet before I attended my first celebration of the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite, a.k.a., the Traditional Latin Mass or Tridentine Rite.Taking only 45 minutes or so to read, it was perfect preparation.The high quality photographs illustrate the ceremonies described in the text.The book doesn't just focus on the "what," but the "why."Readers learn the historical background of the Mass and the centrality of sacrifice in authentic Christian worship.Things likely to greet a visitor upon visiting a Catholic church -- tabernacles, stations of the cross, communion rails, etc. -- are given useful and reverent explanations."For the Visitor at Mass" will not tell you everything there is to know about this ancient and once-again thriving form of worship, but it will help ensure that your first experience at Mass is a blessed one.

Product Description:
Intended primarily for newcomers (Catholic or not) to the Tridentine Latin Mass (aka the Traditional Latin Mass, the Extraordinary form of Mass, Mass according to the 1962 Missal of Blessed John XXIII, usus antiquior, etc). Forty-seven striking color photos accompany the explanations of every major part of the Mass. Sections include: -What is the Mass? -Mass of the Catechumens -The Introit -The Gloria -The Epistle -The Gospel -Sermon -The Creed -Mass of the Faithful -Offertory -The Preface -The Canon -The Consecration -The Our Father -Holy Communion -Final Blessing and the Last Gospel -Prayers after Mass The photographs are mini-meditations in themselves, clearly evoking the nature of the liturgical actions taking place. The explanations are rich in concise spiritual, doctrinal, liturgical and historical insights. Can be read before the Mass as a preparation or read at Mass as you follow along. Priced inexpensively so that they can be freely given to anyone new to this form of the Mass. Ideal for pastors to stock as give-aways. Most importantly, you will learn to unite yourself to the Sacrifice of the Altar. This is a form of participation that is little understood today...consequently, this book will deepen the faith of all Catholics.
