The Biblical Roots of the Mass: A Scriptural Explanation of the New Roman Missal - Brand Pitre Have you ever wondered why Catholics say what they say and do what they do at Mass? Where do the words and actions of the Mass come from? Have you ever felt like you were just “going through the motions,” but not really understanding the deeper meaning of the Mass? Have you heard about the new English translation of the Mass that Pope Benedict approved for use beginning in 2011? In this informative and inspiring new presentation, Dr. Brant Pitre explains the words in the Mass that Catholics know so well by looking at their biblical roots. After a brief study of the history of the Mass in English and why Pope Benedict XVI has issued a new English translation, you will learn about the biblical basis of the following parts of the Mass: • The Opening Greeting (“And with your spirit”) • The Penitential Rite (“My fault, my fault, my most grievous fault”) • The Kyrie Eleison (“Lord, Have Mercy”) • The Gloria (“Glory to God in the Highest”) • The Sanctus (“Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of Hosts”) • The Communion Rite (“Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof”) • The Final Blessing (“Peace be with you”)
