Understanding the Latin in Your Mass
You may have taken Latin in college, but unless you were around in preconciliar days or are privileged to attend a Latin Novus Ordo Mass on a regular basis, chances are you could use some brushing up on your liturgical Latin.
Author Marion Smedberg offers a new book and accompanying audio CD, Understanding the Latin Mass: Hear and Learn the words of the Novus Ordo, that will help you delve into a fuller and more prayerful understanding of the language spoken and sung ever more frequently at Mass in your parish.
Recommended by clergy:
Marion Smedberg’s book, Understanding the Latin Mass, is exceptional. We used her materials to instruct my parishioners in the basics of the Latin liturgy, enabling them to fully participate in the Latin Mass as Vatican II intended.
