Publisher's summary

We are going through a period of liturgical exile, explains Bishop Athanasius Schneider in this enlightening book, and the vast proliferation of modern abuses are crying out for liturgical reform.

In what is one of the most impressive and authoritative books on the Catholic Mass, Bishop Schneider reestablishes what Catholics have known for centuries but have forgotten today: that the Mass is the highest form of Christian prayer.

You'll come to understand why the rubrics are vital to preserving the authenticity of the liturgy, and you'll learn why architecture, music, sacred art, and even incense are vital symbols that direct our attention to Heaven. You'll also learn how to recollect and listen to God's Word properly; the keys to lifting your heart and surrendering to God's will at Mass; why it's essential to celebrate the Mass ad orientem; how following the rituals assists you in contemplating the spiritual.

Bishop Schneider and coauthor Aurelio Porfiri encourage the revival of public prayers, such as the Liturgy of the Hours and Eucharistic adoration. He explains how genuflecting, kneeling, and prostrating oneself are all outward signs of reverence that demonstrate this inward action.

Fantastic!

The Catholic Mass by Bishop Athanasius Schneider is an amazing book, profoundly good. Even as a man who has studied the Liturgy for years, Bishop Schneider is able to teach me so much. I highly recommend this book, though I would be amiss not to recommend that many readers beseech the Lord to open their hearts every time they listen or read. Very informative and enlightening. Incredibly relevant and straightforward, yet gentle and even pastoral in it's delivery.
