| A classic study of the history of the Roman liturgy from the pen of Fr. Adrian Fortescue, a great man, a holy priest and a great writer. Part 1: the origin (various theories) and development of the Mass in general; the Eucharist in the first three Centuries. The Parent Rites and their Descendants; the Origin of the Roman Rite; the Mass since St. Gregory the Great. Part 2 covers the Mass as we know it, adding notes to each prayer and ceremony. Bibliography for further study. This book is especially important now, as interest in the Traditional Mass is on the rise. We should all be ready and able to explain the Mass, why certain parts come before others, what the priest is doing at that point, and so on. 438 pp. Softcover. |
