Liturgical Question Box
Answers to Common Questions About the Modern Liturgy
Item Number: 11
Should we hold hands during the "Our Father"? Is liturgical dancing OK? Should the priest say "Good morning" at Mass? And what about those water lillies sprouting in our new font?
Msgr. Peter Elliott responds to these and many other current liturgical questions in a clear and, at times humorous way. He deals with the questions people are asking about the way Mass and the Sacraments are meant to be celebrated.
Based largely on Msgr. Elliott's replies to problems first raised in a question box format in the mission magazine Christ to the World, this new book includes not only broad issues but also many questions relating to the actions and fine details that make up Catholic worship. Liturgical Question Box also gives the author of Ceremonies of the Modern Roman Rite the opportunity to explain in more detail positions he took in that book.
Because Liturgical Question Box is technically accurate and based on experience and pastoral common sense, it is a reliable guide for pastors, seminarians, liturgical committees, servers etc. - and for perplexed laity who want to know what should be done in celebrating the Liturgy. But its strong spiritual tone and confident approach should appeal to a wider audience and make it a welcome resource for anyone who wants to promote and defend the mystery, splendor and majesty of Catholic worship today.
Msgr. Peter Elliott has worked in the Vatican for over ten years. His area of expertise is the liturgical life of the Church. He is now the Episcopal Vicar of Religious Education in Melbourne, Australia. He is the author of the best-selling Ceremonies of the Modern Roman Rite.
