Intended primarily for new-comers (Catholic or not) to the Tridentine Mass. 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.

Most importantly, you will learn to unite yourself to the Sacrifice of the Altar. This is a form of active participation that is little understood today...consequently, this book will deepen the faith of all Catholics.
