Because additional emendations have recently been made to the Order of Mass texts since its recognitio in 2008, we will be publishing a second edition of Understanding the Revised Mass Texts and its companion Leader’s Edition.  While the first edition is no longer available, the second edition Understanding the Revised Mass Texts has been updated to reflect the recent (and final) changes.

Written by Paul Turner, a priest of the diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph, this booklet provides a brief yet deep explanation of how and why the prayers and responses of the Mass are changing.  It will help you understand these new words so that you will be able to participate at Mass.
