This includes the use of incense, the singing of Gregorian chant, and the participation of servers and other ministers. The author also discusses the various parts of the Mass, such as the Introit, the Kyrie, and the Gloria, and provides guidance on how to perform each of these elements with the appropriate solemnity and reverence.Overall, ""The Ceremonies of the Mass"" is an essential resource for anyone involved in the celebration of the Catholic Mass, whether as a priest, server, or layperson.
