This popular book, revised in accord with the 2002 General Instruction of the Roman Missal and the new traslation of the Mass, encourages the authentic celebration of the renewed eucharistic litugy. How Not to Say Mass looks first at general principles for liturgy, for understanding symbols, amd for being a presider. Examining the Mass, section by section, using the approach of via negativa –focusing on what not to do– the author reminds presiders and liturgy coordinators of the many obvious, but sometimes unconscious, violations of rubrics and liturgical principles that can be detrimental to the celebration of good effective liturgy.
