Reviews
This book absolutely exceeds my expectations. Beautifully done! I have attended Latin mass for years and have many missals but some of the parts photographed I wouldn’t be able to see from the pew! Love that! It’s amazing to see the hand and finger placement up close as well. Can’t wait to use this in mass. The packaging was also so personal and lovely! I cried when I opened it! God bless you and your efforts to educate on the Traditional Latin Mass!
We absolutely love this Latin Missile. I bought it for my 27-year-old son, who totally appreciates it and uses it regularly during Sunday Masses. The English translations are in the right order, and the pictures are gorgeous. Now my son wants to buy more to share with others. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to make this purchase. God bless!
Thank you so much for makeing this book! Sharing the Tridentine rite is so powerful when its combined with photographs. The passion is often spewing out of the page. All that being said some of the pages were just white, and some of the formatting felt cheap.
This Latin Mass book is truly a treasure. The illustrations are beautifully crafted—elegant without being overwhelming, and they add a sense of reverence that perfectly complements the text. The writing is clear, engaging, and wonderfully easy to follow, making the richness of the Latin Mass accessible even to those who are new to it. Every section is thoughtfully organized, guiding the reader with clarity and grace. Overall, it’s a beautifully made and spiritually enriching resource!
Absolutely beautiful photos! The format & type is also easy to read and follow along, and I appreciate the boxes with helpful hints & history behind some of the Mass rituals. I bought this to help me explain low Mass to a friend who’s new to the TLM and he found it very helpful!
