A Beginner’s Guide to the Traditional Latin Mass, by Derya Little

A Beginner’s Guide to the Traditional Latin Mass, Illustrations by Chris Lewis. As the celebration of the classical Roman rite of Mass becomes increasingly common, this Beginner’s Guide to the Traditional Latin Mass fills a real need. This form of Mass is more elaborate and prayed in an ancient language, so those coming to it for the first time can find it bewildering and hard to navigate. Existing resources often present too much, too fast. Derya Little has provided a simple step-by-step presentation of the Mass with just enough information about the sequence, content, and meaning of its parts—at both Low Mass and High Mass—that anyone, adult or child, can follow and pray more easily. The Beginner’s Guide opens wide the doors of discovery to this inexhaustible treasure of the Church, paving the way for a fruitful lifelong engagement.
