Summary

This collection of Masses in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary is a witness to the many ways and reasons Christians have honored the Mother of Jesus. The forty six formularies that are distributed over the seasons of the liturgical year as follows: three for Advent; six for Christmas; five for Lent; four for Easter; and twenty eight for Ordinary Time. The celebrations for Ordinary Time are further subdivided into three sections that honor the Blessed Virgin under titles (1) derived chiefly from Scripture or that express Mary's bond with the Church; (2) that refer to her fostering the spiritual life of the faithful; and (3) that suggest her compassionate intercession on behalf of the faithful. Volume 1: Sacramentary contains the euchological texts, entrance and communion antiphons, and, in an appendix, several formularies for solemn blessings at the end of Mass. Three ribbon markers. Volume 2: Lectionary provides the biblical readings assigned to each Mass, together with the responsorial psalms and the alleluia verse or verse before the gospel reading.
