Overview of the Liturgy of the Mass

We finished our faith formation series on the liturgy of the mass at Emmaus ECC. Below are the YouTube videos of each session. Each session was given before mass and kept as short as possible so as to not add too much time to our Sunday gathering. There is so much more to know about the mass, but these short videos will give you the basics. There is a book that I find especially helpful by Lawrence E. Mick called “Worshiping Well: A Mass Guide for Planners and Participants.” There are also the Liturgy documents published after the Council of Vatican II that prove helpful, and the Old Catholic essays and books on the liturgy. “Celebrating Church” by Mattijs Ploeger is an excellent reference for those of us in the ECC. You may also want to refer to the Book of Common Prayer and other resources published by our Episcopalian friends HERE. See also the liturgy resources on this website HERE.
