The Mass in Slow Motion

the long version

Monsignor Knox presents a series of sermons on the prayers and actions of the Mass. This series was originally given to schoolgirls during World War II. Msgr. Knox is, of course, talking about the older form of the Mass, so it is easier to understand what he is talking about if you are familiar with the Extraordinary Form of the Mass, but these are excellent reflections either way. While this priest insists that he is not an expert on liturgical matters, here are his reflections on Holy Mass, written simply for an audience of school-girls. This book wants reprinting for a new readership of young people.
