On the Holy Mass by Prosper Gueranger
Gueranger loved, lived, and breathed the Roman Liturgy. A step by step guide, On the Holy Mass offers some of his insights into the history and meaning of its prayers and ceremonies. The work, though a commentary on the Roman Rite of Gueranger's day, has much to offer the Church of Benedict XVI's pontificate. In these days of widely-acknowledged liturgical crisis we need to be reminded of the history, character, the true texture of Catholic worship, the ability of the liturgy to do its own work without crass or illegitimate innovation, and that the priest is servant, not master, of the Church's rites.
Gueranger, Dom Prosper: - Prosper Louis Pascal Gueranger (1805-1875) was ordained a priest in 1827 and became Abbot of the newly-established monastery of Solesmes in 1837 at the age of 32. He became one of the leading monastics and liturgists of his generation, and his writings were highly influential both in France and abroad. He is best known today for his The Liturgical Year, a leisurely fifteen-volume tour of the feasts and seasons of the Catholic calendar, left unfinished at the time of his death but soon completed by his disciples, and still in print.
