When we take part in the Mass, we pray in communion with the faithful throughout the world as part of a Church that is universal and grounded in a sacred tradition two thousand years old. Our preservation of Latin, the language of the universal Church, serves to strengthen our bond of unity, deepen our sense of the sacred before the Divine Presence, and heighten our awareness of Christ’s saving action, which transcends all times and boundaries. Catholics who seek, for all these reasons, a basic understanding of the Latin in the Novus Ordo of the Mass will find in this primer a convenient resource.

Elliott, Peter

The liturgy of the Catholic Church is the action by which Jesus Christ unites the members of the Church in glorifying God. It makes people holy through words, music, action and signs. The Eucharist is intended to be the most powerful means of union with our God, with the saints in heaven and with each other, and is to be a foretaste of the praise of God given in joy by the saints in heaven. As we move through the whole of the year, the Church is united with the mysteries of Christ's earthly life so as to come closer to her Lord and Saviour.
Monsignor Peter Elliott provides scholarship and many years’ experience and love of the liturgy. This book is a guide to the most important moments of the Church year from Advent and Christmas to Holy Week, Corpus Christi and to the Solemnity of Christ the King. His book has been a long-awaited guide to those who wish to celebrate the events of the Church year with dignity, devotion, and deep faith.

Kwatera, Michael Osb
Books > Liturgy > Liturgy General
"Let us bring our prayers to the Lord." Each week when the community comes together for Mass, we gather to listen to the Word, to partake of the Eucharist, and to pray. The Prayer of the Faithful is marked by the same needs from week to week, but it is always an opportunity to approach God collectively in a way that reflects the richness of our particular celebration. This series of prayers by Father Michael Kwatera is rooted in the present moment: the liturgical season, lectionary readings, and the needs of the church. He draws on the readings, as well as the significance of feasts and of other celebrations. He is also attuned to the many ways we approach God, in language that is clear and attentive to the oral quality of the prayer.
