The Rubrics of the Mass by Rev. Peter M. J. Stravinskas, Editor

Many of our liturgical problems are linked to the onset of "modernity," which has brought about a casualness and even a carelessness in regard to sacred affairs. Blessed John Henry Cardinal Newman saw this phenomenon brewing already in the nineteenth century.The Rubrics of the Mass is an 8-page "guided tour" of the Sunday Mass (Roman Missal, 3rd typical edition of 2002), with rubrics and explanations for all who participate in the celebration. It is intended to bring the entire People of God (clergy and laity alike) to the most profound experience possible of God's entrance in our world and of our gaining a glimpse of His.
