Documents and
Readings on the
Traditional Latin Mass

From the Council of Trent
to Benedict XVI's       
Motu Proprio

A new generation of
Catholics is discovering the
beauty, reverence,
appropriateness, and efficacy
of the Tridentine Mass. The
Traditional Latin Mass, as the
saying goes, is "the Mass the
martyrs died for." It is also
the Mass the faithful lived for
and which gave life to them
and to the Church itself.
This small volume is designed
to humbly guide you in an
appreciation of the Traditional
Latin Mass' beauties,
coherence, logic, aesthetics,
glories, and graces.

Featuring the works of:

  • The Council of Trent
  • Pope St. Pius V
  • Pope St. Pius X
  • Pope Pius XI
  • Pope Pius XII
  • Bl. Pope John XXIII
  • Pope Paul VI
  • Pope John Paul II

"a much needed
work . . . a precious
gem in our library of
liturgical works."

Fr. C. Frank Phillips,
Cannons Regular of
St. John Cantius

"belongs in the
library of any
Catholic person or
organization devoted
to the Traditional
Latin Mass. . . . If
the priest who says
that form in your
parish or chapel
doesn't already have
a copy, it would make
a most appropriate
gift.
"Una Voce
America Nota

"I am sure that this
book will help many
to better understand
the great graces that
have been opened
again to the whole
Church by the Motu
Proprio Summorum
Pontificum."
Msgr. R. Michael
Schmitz, Vicar
General in the
Institute of Christ the
King, Provincial
Superior for the
Institute in the
United States


"[a] must. . . . fills the
void of having a one
volume reference for
the Tridentine Mass.
Commentary,
catechisis,
authoritative, and
informative."
