Nothing Superfluous

"Nothing Superfluous" is a guide to the Rite of St. Gregory, the "Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite." In clear language, Fr. Jackson reveals the rich theologian meaning behind the art, architecture, words, and gestures of the Rite of St. Gregory. His work is a simple guide for those who have been moved by the beauty of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, and who wish to move from appreciation to apprehension - from wonder, to knowledge. Of course, in the face of divine realities, knowledge itself leads back t wonder, and from wonder to love. And the instruction of "Nothing Superfluous" will help Catholics to appreciate ever more deeply the profound beauty expressed in the Mass. --Page 4 of cover.
