Mass Revision - How the Liturgy is Changing and What it Means for You
By Jimmy Akin
Mass Revision is another best-seller from award-winning author Jimmy Akin.
As always, Jimmy goes straight to the heart of the issue and cuts through the distortions that have surrounded the liturgy.
He quotes the Church’s own documents so you can see for yourself what the Church has to say and not be deceived by falsehood and spin.
Mass Revision provides an overview of the Mass from beginning to end, showing you exactly how the Church says it is to be celebrated.
Topics include:
- the introductory rites,
- the liturgy of the word,
- the liturgy of the Eucharist,
- who can and cannot receive Communion,
- the concluding rites,
