{"product_id":"9780814620328","title":"Catholic Rites Today: Abridged Texts for Students","description":"\u003cp\u003eJust as there can be no thorough study of a literary work without first a careful reading of it, so there cannot be an adequate study of the major liturgical rites of the Catholic Church without a knowledge of the texts of the rites.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe purpose of this volume is to provide students with a one-volume abridged yet sufficiently comprehensive edition of the major contemporary rites of the Roman Catholic Church. It is not a commentary but rather a convenient source for the texts of these rites.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe volume includes large excerpts from the Roman Missal: The General Instruction, the complete Order of Mass, prayers from the Sacramentary, and other texts allowing for an adequate study of the Catholic Eucharist. For the other Catholic sacraments - Initiation (for adults and children, including Confirmation), Penance, Anointing of the Sick, Marriage, Orders - at least one complete version of each rite is presented along with its introduction or introductory sections. Texts from the Order of Christian Funerals are also included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Liturgical Press, The","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47020889604336,"sku":"9780814620328","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780814620328_p0.jpg?v=1763745591","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780814620328","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
