The Traditional Latin Mass is more elaborate and prayed in an ancient language, so those coming to it for the first time can find it hard to navigate. Derya Little has provided a simple presentation with just enough information about the sequence, content, and meaning of its parts that anyone, adult or child, can follow and pray more easily.

Facsimile of 1920 Edition. Originally published with the title: The Mass: The Eucharistic Service of the Catholic Church... The term "Latin Mass" is frequently used to denote the Tridentine Mass, that is, the Roman Rite liturgy of the Mass celebrated in Latin and in accordance with the successive editions of the Roman Missal published between 1570 and 1962. Neither the Second Vatican Council nor the subsequent revision of the Roman Missal abolished Latin as the liturgical language of the Roman Rite: the official text of the Roman Missal, on which translations into vernacular languages are to be based, continues to be in Latin, and Latin can still be used in the celebration. The author attempts to explain the rituals and symbolism of the Latin Mass in part to explain its mysteries and also to encourage participation. "The Latin Mass Explained made the Traditional Latin Mass really come alive for me. This book helps me tremendously when I explain my love for the Tridentine Mass to both Catholics and non-Catholics. It also helped me impart this love and understanding to my 10-year-old son, who now serves the Latin Mass." --M. Pluta "This book is ideal for priests and lay people who want to learn how to pray the traditional Latin Mass, now called the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite." --Rev. Kenneth Baker, S.J. Homiletic and Pastoral Review "This is a must read for any Catholic especially for those who want to understand the Rite of St. Gregory the Great.....or the Extraordinary Form of the Holy Mass. Classic book, read it, study it, read it again, study it again...and keep for reference." Amazon Reader

At the crest of volatile years of experimentation, a new rite of Mass was introduced in 1969—no mere cosmetic treatment but a radical reconstruction of the Church’s central act of worship. A minority of the faithful continued to hold fast to the traditional rite, which John Paul II and Benedict XVI gradually freed from restrictions. The steady growth of this “traditionalist” movement inevitably prompts questions in the minds of more and more people. What is it that Catholic laity, clergy, and religious are discovering and falling in love with? Could you—should you—be among them? In this engaging book, Peter Kwasniewski draws on decades of experience and, presuming no specialized knowledge, explains why the traditional Mass operates the way it does, what its distinctive features and benefits are, and how it still captures hearts with a beauty deeply rooted and perennially green. Every reader—whether already a lover of the Mass of Ages or a complete newbie, whether committed or curious, perplexed or skeptical, sitting on the fence or bouncing back and forth between old and new—will find life-changing insights in these pages.
