For more than 1,000 years, the Church has encouraged the production of beautiful books to be used in its liturgy and especially the Mass, the “source and summit of the Christian life,” as the bishops at the Second Vatican Council described it.
Today is no different as book publishers across the English-speaking world will soon release new missals to be used for the first time on the weekend of Nov. 26-27 when the new translation of the Mass will be implemented at churches.
Benedictine Brother Martin Erspamer, a monk of Saint Meinrad Archabbey in St. Meinrad, followed in the footsteps of monks going back to the early Middle Ages by creating a series of 18 new images for an edition of the Roman Missal to be published by Liturgical Press.
