The Holy Mass
by Dom Prosper Guéranger
Dom Prosper Guéranger (1805-1875) devoted himself to liturgical scholarship, polemics, and the establishment of Benedictine communities in France.
The Holy Mass is Guéranger's most extensive treatment of the heart of the liturgy and firmly established him as a leading liturgist. A step by step guide, On the Holy Mass offers some of his insights into the history and meaning of its prayers and ceremonies.
In these days of widely-acknowledged liturgical crisis we need to be reminded of the history, character, the true texture of Catholic worship, the ability of the liturgy to do its own work without crass or illegitimate innovation, and that the priest is servant, not master, of the Church's rites.
Leather Hardcover, size 6" x 4", 264 pages
