The answers to most frequently asked questions about the Mass
are answered in this book.
May Eucharistic ministers clean the vessels after
communion? What does the deacon do at Mass? How do we use the entrance and
communion antiphons? Where do the servers sit? Is the book carried out at the
end of Mass? How do we choose the Eucharistic Prayer?
These and more questions – 45 in all – that
priests, liturgists, music directors, liturgy committees, ministry
co-ordinators and diocesan liturgy offices frequently ask about the Mass are
answered here with legal expertise and pastoral sensitivity by Father Dennis
Smolarski, SJ. Most of these questions and
answers have appeared in a helpful column in Liturgy 90 andRite over
the years. Now they are gathered in one convenient volume for reference and
study.
Questions are grouped into subject topics
including introductory rites, liturgy of the word, liturgy of the Eucharist,
concluding rites, ministers, weekdays and miscellaneous issues. The answer to
each question takes into account the 2000 edition of the General
Instruction of the Roman Missal, as well as other official documents.
Each answer is informed by the common sense and pastoral concern of an
experienced presider and member of the assembly.
