The Ceremonies of Holy Mother Church: A Manual of Traditional Catholic Worship: A Traditional Catholic Manual of Worship

By Frederick Oakeley

This venerable manual gathers the heart of Catholic worship with a spirit shaped by the old English converts whose zeal carried them into the fullness of the Church's ceremonial and devotional life. Canon Oakeley presents the sacred rites as a living inheritance from the Apostles, carried through the ages in the Mass, the Divine Office, the Sacraments, the solemn processions, the Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament, and the domestic devotions that form the rhythm of Catholic homes. His pages offer the faithful a sure guide to the sanctuary: the movements of the priest at the altar, the unfolding of the liturgical year, the blessed order of vestments and sacred vessels, and the reverent customs that shape the soul toward a Catholic sense of time, space, and prayer.
