So he wrote them a book. Then a second book. Now both are being published by Resource Publications, Inc., as a way to bring other Catholics up to liturgical speed. What Every Catholic Needs to Know about the Mass , covers the history of liturgy, the importance of art and environment, the place of music, and a vision of what liturgy looks like if all members of the assembly take their role seriously. The second and smaller work, What Every Catholic Needs to Know about Lent, the Triduum, and Easter , provides historical background on the season, a review of its important rituals, and some prayers and activities for Catholics to do in their own homes.
Bulk discounts are available for either or both books.
What Every Catholic Needs to Know about the Mass is by far the best resource on liturgy I have found. Our parish made the investment and put this book in the hands of every parishioner.
