Let Us Pray: A Guide to the Rubrics of Sunday Mass: Updated to Conform with the Revised English Translation of The Roman Missal

by Paul Turner

Since its initial publication in 2006, Paul Turner’s Let Us Pray has become a valuable resource for understanding, planning, and celebrating the Eucharist. This new edition, thoroughly updated by the author to be in full continuity with the Revised English Translation of The Roman Missal, will be one that priests, liturgical ministers, planners, and students will want to keep close at hand.

Turner offers helpful explanations for the principal rubrics for a typical Sunday Mass. He reflects on the place of ritual within the context of Catholic piety and then explores the regulations governing the furnishings, vestments, and ministers. He carefully walks readers through the entire Mass from the entrance procession to the dismissal. The book is cross-referenced to answer most questions about the Sunday ritual.

[Paul Parkinson]

I'm marking as read even thought I'm still reading. Really learning a lot from this priest.

[Sean Whelan · Rating 5 out of 5]

Anything by Paul turner is great. This explores the liturgies of Holy Week in light of the missal revisions. Clear, concise, and pastoral. Review it before you plan and keep it near when you do.
