The Catholic Mass by Bishop Athanasius Schneider

The Catholic Mass: Steps to Restore the Centrality of God in the Liturgy
By Bishop Athanasius Schneider

During this period of liturgical exile, where the self-centered tendency of humanity to idologize themselves seems to be reigning supreme, this is a much needed call to action. These pages will show you how the traditional Mass is not a matter of nostalgia, but the most faithful way to outwardly present the theology of the Church when it comes to how we should pay homage to God.

Discover how saints such as Padre Pio and John Vianney helped the faithful enter into a profound spiritual experience during Mass, and why the Mass should serve as a means to lift our hearts to God so we can surrender to His will. 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.
