To quote from Fr. Parsch himself: \"The Breviary is the official prayerbook of the Church. The Holy Ghost and the Church have been working on it for more than 3,000 years, and it has become the basic book of prayer, a precious common fund to which the great men of prayer from every age have contributed their thoughts and sentiments.... In liturgical prayer, and therefore in the breviary, it is not primarily I who am praying, but the Church, the bride of Christ. The object of her prayer is broader, too: all the needs of God's kingdom here on earth.... For the man who prays, the breviary needs to be staff and guide and way to heaven.... The most prominent feature of the breviary's benefit lies in its wonderful arrangement of prayer in the sequence of canonical hours. Each day we are to make some further progress in building up the temple of grace within our soul.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Os Justi Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":41832683536482,"sku":"","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":41832683569250,"sku":"","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0566\/1353\/5842\/files\/parschbreviaryexplained.jpg?v=1742399520"},{"product_id":"fundamentals-of-gregorian-chant","title":"Fundamentals of Gregorian Chant","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eBy Dominic Keller. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis handy 80-page guide to the Solesmes method of singing Gregorian chant is commendable as a pedagogical tool and a resource for choirs and scholas.

The result has been confusion, dismay, devastation. To the surprise of some, however, the same half-century has witnessed a growing counter-movement of Catholics who find in the Church’s traditional liturgy a perennial witness to the orthodox faith, a solid foundation for the interior life, an ever-flowing source of missionary charity, and a living embodiment of the true Catholic spirit.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn this book, Peter Kwasniewski presents a fearless critique of the path of liturgical novelty and a detailed apologia for liturgical tradition in all its beauty, richness, and profundity, addressing such topics as solemnity, sacredness, the language of symbols, contemplation, participation, the symbiosis of lex orandi and lex credendi, silence, music, worship in Latin, and Gregorian chant. He confronts the humanism, rationalism, utilitarianism, and modernism so prevalent in the liturgical reform, assesses the prospects and limitations of a “Reform of the Reform,” and reflects on the great gift of Summorum Pontificum. In the end, Kwasniewski argues for a zealous recommitment to Catholic Tradition in its fullness, starting with divine worship and embracing the whole realm of faith and morals, including integral Catholic social teaching.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Angelico Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40290455912546,"sku":"","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0566\/1353\/5842\/products\/resurgentkwas.jpg?v=1679601323"},{"product_id":"noble-beauty-transcendent-holiness","title":"Noble Beauty, Transcendent Holiness","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e[This book is published not by Os Justi but by Angelico.

He contrasts this priceless treasure with the rationalistic reforms of the sixties, which yielded a Catholic liturgy severed from its own history, inadequate to its theological essence, unequal to its ascetical-mystical purpose, and estranged from its cultural inheritance.

Patrick Brill's study comes at an opportune moment, when Catholics are increasingly rejecting the banality of much of today's 'church music.' Brill's work conveniently gathers into a slim volume the historical context of Pius X's reforms, the reforms themselves, their implementation, and the place of these reforms in a Church rediscovering tradition. It will be a standard resource.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e-\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eEdward Schaefer, DMA\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003cem\u003ePresident of Collegium Sanctorum Angelorum; author of \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eCatholic Music Through the Ages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Os Justi Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":41703088160866,"sku":"","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":41703088193634,"sku":"","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"eBook","offer_id":41703088226402,"sku":null,"price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0566\/1353\/5842\/files\/sacredmusic.jpg?v=1737382850"},{"product_id":"message-mass-melodies","title":"The Message of the Mass Melodies","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan you hear the message-full of strength and sweetness, rich in spiritual wisdom-proclaimed by the Gregorian chants of the Mass? Let this book be your guide!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a sensitivity born of many years of meditation on the texts and melodies of the Church's liturgy, Father Murrett shows how the chant of the Mass Propers is aptly expressive of the prayer it accompanies. The chant as sung and listened to with his meditative insights thus becomes the true vehicle of prayer it is meant to be. The book is in no way intended as a manual of technical interpretation; its sole aim is to help singers and choirmasters better understand and appreciate this precious art-form of the liturgy, and thereby to render it more prayerfully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"As its very name implies, this book studies the Gregorian melodies of the Mass propers-or rather, not studies but \u003cem\u003emeditates \u003c\/em\u003ethem. For the book is a prayerful examination of the texts and plainsong tunes of the Sunday propers, plus a few outstanding feasts, done by a missionary stationed in Japan. It is not a technical study, but an effort to appreciate the treasures hidden both in the Latin text and the ancient chant.... For every choirmaster this is most helpful, and while it will not supersede Dom Johner's study [\u003cem\u003eThe Chants of the Vatican Gradual\u003c\/em\u003e], it will surely supplement it to advantage. Because of precious insights, little but discerning remarks that can only have come from long and loving contemplation of these texts and tunes, the book is so fascinating that it is hard to put down.... Choirmasters and singers will want to read it often-read it, and keep it at their side for further conning.\" -Francis A.
