Ceremonies of the Roman Rite Described
Fr. Adrian Fortescue
Fr. Adrian Fortescue (adventurer, liturgist,
calligrapher, organist, scholar, and first and foremost
priest) dedicated his life to the service of Christ, and
much of his mind to the study of the liturgies of Christ's
Church. In an effort to help support his parish church, St.
Hugh, Father Fortescue decided to correct a long-standing
lacuna in English-language Catholic literature: the lack of
a thorough guide to the liturgical ceremonies of a normal
parish church. In so doing, he created a masterpiece, a
faithful guide that has assisted English-speaking Catholics
throughout the world ever since. Covering the ceremonies of
the Mass, first and foremost; the specific ceremonies of the
liturgical year; the other sacraments celebrated in parish
churches or in homes; and the ceremonies of the ritual, this
work is comprehensive and immensely instructive. Completely
retypeset, with the text optically scanned and then
carefully edited by hand for correctness, this edition also
presents completely redrawn diagrams of all the ceremonies,
as well as a page detailing the common appearance of a few
of the vestments referenced in the work. A treasure for any
Roman Catholic library. 309 pp., English.
