Product Description
•••••
Dom Ernest Graf begins his book The Priest at the Altar with the assertion that beauty is the primary form of the Liturgy. The following chapters eloquently demonstrate how the Extraordinary Form Latin Mass exemplifies the hermeneutic of beauty dedicated to Lord's worship. Graf begins with a quick explanation of the nature of liturgy in general before delving into each particular piece of the Mass, from the Introibo through the Thanksgiving Prayers after Mass. His analysis covers not only the historical foundations of liturgical customs, but also the spiritual value of the Priest's deeds. Graf's writing, despite its conciseness, elucidates both the logic of the Church's past and the profound significance of the Mass as sacrifice and sacrament.
While each priest, deacon, or altar server will undoubtedly be improved by Graf's observations, the lay reader of The Priest at the Altar will certainly be lead to a deeper appreciation of the Liturgy as well. New insights on the Confiteor will awaken his humility; his delight at the Gloria will be kindled; and a new and heartfelt devotion to the Eucharist will undoubtedly flood his heart when he recalls Graf's remarks on the Domine Non Sum Dignus. This newly typeset edition of The Priest at the Altar exemplifies the profound beauty and comprehensibility of the Latin Mass, bringing the wisdom of the ages into today's liturgies.
