Due to the fact that I post from a time zone 4 hours behind the eastern time zone, I am a little slow to news sometimes. So Fr. Z has obviously not only posted this story but updated as well. I should probably read all of my RSS feeds before posting.
Read his updates here:
Details about the new Compendium Eucharisticum
The CNA posted this story earlier:
Manual for proper celebration of the Mass presented to the Pope
EXCITING! Something official like this is definitely encouraging! It means that people can't simply dismiss such a publication as "the thoughts and ideas of an uber-fundamentalist."
According to the daily edition of L’Osservatore Romano, the document “puts together texts from the Catechism of the Catholic Church, prayers, theological explanations of the Roman Missal’s Eucharistic prayers and everything that may be useful for the correct understanding, celebration and adoration of the Sacrament on the altar.”
L’Osservatore Romano also explained that the Pope’s desire is that the compendium will help both priests and laity in “believing, celebrating and increasingly living out the Eucharistic Mystery.” The Holy Father also hopes that it will stimulate “every faithful person to make of their own lives a spiritual worship,” the paper added.
Wow... you combine this with "The Spirit of the Liturgy" by Pope Benedict, writing as Cardinal Ratzinger, and you have a Mass primer set that is second to none!
