    Have you ever wondered why Catholics say what they say and do what they do at Mass? Where do the words and actions of the Mass come from? Have you ever felt like you were just “going through the motions,” but not really understanding the deeper meaning of the Mass? Have you heard about the new English translation of the Mass that Pope Benedict approved for use beginning in 2011?

    In this informative and inspiring new presentation, Dr. Brant Pitre explains the words in the Mass that Catholics know so well by looking at their biblical roots. After a brief study of the history of the Mass in English and why Pope Benedict XVI has issued a new English translation, you will learn about the biblical basis of the following parts of the Mass:

    • The Opening Greeting (“And with your spirit”)
    • The Penitential Rite (“My fault, my fault, my most grievous fault”)
    • The Kyrie Eleison (“Lord, Have Mercy”)
    • The Gloria (“Glory to God in the Highest”)
    • The Sanctus (“Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of Hosts”)
    • The Communion Rite (“Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof”)
    • The Final Blessing (“Peace be with you”)


    As Dr. Pitre will show, the words and actions in these parts of the Mass are taken directly from some of the most famous stories in the Bible: the parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector, the Two Blind Men on the way to Jericho, the Angels at the Birth of Christ, Isaiah in the Heavenly Temple, Jesus and the Centurion’s servant, and the healing of the Woman with a Hemorrhage. Even more important, when you go back and study where the words of the Mass come from in the Bible, in every case you will discover something amazing: In each of these familiar stories from Scripture lies a hidden key to the deeper spiritual meaning of each and every part of the Mass.

    Responding to Pope Benedict’s call for a more biblical approach to explaining the Mass, this new Bible study is perfect gift for cradle Catholics, new Catholics, RCIA classes, Bible study groups or anyone wanting to gain a deeper appreciation for the mysteries hidden in the heavenly treasure that we call the Mass.

    *Note from Catholic Productions*
    While there is overlap between this series and A Biblical Explanation of the Mass, there is significant dissimilarity both in content and in focus. Nevertheless, we wanted our patrons aware that there will be some overlap between this and the aforementioned set.

Now I Understand!

I have been participating in the Liturgy of the Mass with the Roman Missal for very many years without understanding the reasons for saying those prayers.
Dr. Pitre has given me a new understanding of why I have been saying those prayers, aimlessly for many years, but now with renewed faith and understanding.
Thank you Dr. Pitre and Catholic Productions.
