CALVARY & THE MASSArchbishop Fulton J. Sheen takes Our Lord's seven last words from the Cross and correlates them to appropriate parts of the Mass - the sacramental representation of that same sacrifice. "Hence the Mass is to us the crowning act of Christian worship. A pulpit in which the words of our Lord are repeated does not unite us to Him; a choir in which sweet sentiments are sung brings us no closer to His Cross than to His garments. A temple without an altar of sacrifice is non-existent among primitive peoples, and is meaningless among Christians. And so in the Catholic Church the altar, and not the pulpit or the choir or the organ, is the center of worship, for there is re - enacted the memorial of His Passion."

THE MASS OF ALL TIME"During the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, revelation, the mysteries of Faith, the mysteries of the Incarnation and the Redemption, are made real. From the Mass, the liturgical and unbloody re-presentation of Christ's sacrifice on the Cross, the efficacy of all good works proceeds." – Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre The Mass of All Time is a collection of the Archbishop's sermons, classes and notes on the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass...a compendium of what he taught on the Mass - its rites, spirit, prayers, theology, spirituality, and grace. Many of these texts have never been published before. The Archbishop is known for his courageous defense of the Tridentine Mass but never before have his insights been collected in such an accessible and complete format. Especially now, with a renewed interest in the "extraordinary form" due to the Holy Father's motu proprio, this book is ideally timed because it is primarily a "positive" book coming from him who is too often known as the "Rebel" or "Renegade" Archbishop. Here we see the love and depth of understanding that Marcel Lefebvre had for the Mass of all time. Price: $17.00 Learn More | Purchase |

A SHORT HISTORY OF THE ROMAN MASSBased on Father Adrian Fortescue's famous work The Mass: A Study of the Roman Liturgy, this little book gives a compact history of the Roman Rite of the Mass from the Last Supper to the Traditional Latin Mass ("Tridentine Mass") as it is said today. Michael Davies - the formost authot in English on the changes in the Catholic liturgy - explains the origin of the Low Mass, of Sacramentaries, of the Gallican and various other Western Rites, etc. He highlights the reforms of Pope St. Gregory the Great (590-604) and Pope St. Pius V (1566-1572), showing how neither "reform" produced a "new" liturgy; rather, the liturgical texts were always treated with the utmost reverence, and revisions were always minor.

THE CATHOLIC SANCTUARY & THE SECOND VATICAN COUNCILIn this very important little book, Michael Davies sets forth the amazing thesis that Vatican II and the Post-Vatican II legislation did not mandate any changes in the Catholic sanctuary: that is, they did not mandate moving the tabernacle from the main altar, nor placing a chair in the middle of the sanctuary - nor even Mass facing the people! In the process, he quotes the relevant passages in Church documents, making this a most valuable little handbook for those fighting the "updating" of the sanctuary in their parish church. Michael Davies also shows the striking similarity between the Protestant "reformers" destruction of altars in the 16th Century and today's destruction of altars and sanctuaries by pretneded reformers. This book is a real eye-opener and will become a poweful tool for the preservation of our holy Catholic traditions. Price: $2.50 Learn More | Purchase |

SACRED THEN AND SACRED NOW (THE RETURN OF THE OLD LATIN MASS)"What earlier generations held as sacred remains sacred and great for us too." - Pope Benedict XVI, on the Roman Missal of 1962 "On September 14, 2007, Pope Benedict XVI returned the Old Latin Mass to the mainstream of Catholic liturgical life. It was a joyous moment, but not without questions: How would the Old Mass be received after so long a neglect? And what of the Catholics who have known only the Novus Ordo - how can they familiarize themselves with the grandeur of the Tridentine Rite? Thomas Woods' newest book, Sacred Then and Sacred Now, is the solution-a compact and informative guide to the history, structure, and practice of the Old Mass (with a particularly helpful section at the end that tackles common objections). Easy to read, every Catholic would benefit from this book." Price: $16.00 Learn More | Purchase |

KNOW YOUR MASSOriginally published by the Catechetical Guild in 1954 (Imprimatur Francis Cardinal Spellman), this is a "comic" book unlike any other. Know Your Mass is a detailed, fully illustrated, step by step explanation of the Traditional Latin Mass now reprinted for the first time in full color! Great companion to The Sacraments as well as The Life of Christ and The Life of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The book presents the theology of the Mass in a manner easily understood by children and yet is incredibly interesting and informative for adults as well. This makes Know Your Mass an excellent catechetical tool for all ages. All parts of the Holy Sacrifice are covered, from the preparation for Mass, the altar, sacred vessels and vestments, liturgical actions, the sanctuary, and some liturgical history as well, including helpful suggestions for children to get the most or should we say GIVE the most at Mass. Ideal, NO, PERFECT, as a First Holy Communion gift. Great for converts as well. Anyone who delves into this book cannot come away ignorant of the true significance of the liturgical representation of Our Lord's Sacrifice on Calvary that is the Holy Mass. Highly recommended. 96pp, softcover. by Fr. Demetrius Manousos Price: $14.00 Learn More | Purchase |
