How to Serve: In Simple, Solemn and Pontifical Functions
The ever increasing interest in the Liturgical Traditions of the Church gives rise to the need for adequately trained altar servers, and what better way to assist than to resurrect this classic! This famous handbook is an invaluable resource for all altar boys from beginning to advanced. Though written for instructors, this manual can also be used for home study, schools, and sacristies.
Dom Matthew Britt begins by offering specific instructions on common ceremonial actions, including how to make the proper bow, how to light the candles, and how to carry the Missal. He also walks the servers step-by-step through Low Mass (with one or two servers), High Mass, Solemn High Masses, Nuptial and Requiem Masses, Vespers, and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. The book contains more than 24 diagrams showing the various actions and positions of acolytes, thurifer, master of ceremonies, sub-deacon, and deacon. It includes servers' responses for the 1962 Latin Mass. How to Serveis a brief and clear manual from 1934 that is simply the best book of its kind. It will once again become the standard reference for acolytes, handing on to young servers the disciplines necessary for reverent Catholic ceremonies.
