Treasure and Tradition / Lisa Bergman

Although this beautiful book has been written as the ultimate guide to the Latin Mass, it can be read by, and thus a deeper appreciation of the Mass developed in, English Mass attendees as well. Not only does it take the reader through the format of the Mass, but it is full of facts about our Mass, e.g. if no water is available for the mingling of the water and wine, then Mass cannot be said, and it is full of historical facts about our Church, e.g. St. Augustine once belonged to a gnostic sect called the Manichees. It also includes such features as: a commentary on Translations of the Bible, a Glossary of Catholic terms, Devotions for Confession, which includes a Confession format, Prayers for before and after Holy Communion and a Bibliography and Reading List. Lavishly illustrated in full colour and in black and white, this would be an ideal gift for anyone wanting a deeper relationship with Our Lord through the Eucharist, or anyone wanting to start attending any of the Latin Masses offered around Melbourne today. Highly recommended!
