The Prayers of the New Missal

• Explores the orations of the Roman Missal: Collect, Offerings, Communion, and Blessings
• Reveals the theological depth of liturgical prayers
• Includes tools for analyzing Latin and English texts
• Offers insights for preachers and catechists
• Written by renowned liturgical scholar Fr. Anscar J. Chupungco, OSB

The liturgy of the Church is more than ritual—it is a treasury of theology and prayer.

In The Prayers of the New Missal, Benedictine scholar Fr. Anscar J. Chupungco expands the focus of liturgical study beyond the Order of Mass to the orations—the Collects, Prayers over the Offerings, Prayers after Communion, and Prayers over the People. Each, he shows, holds profound spiritual and doctrinal meaning that enriches both the celebration and proclamation of the Eucharist.

Designed especially for preachers and catechists, this work provides practical tools for interpreting the language of the Missal. It offers exercises in translation and comparison, along with sample homiletic and catechetical reflections drawn from the text itself.

A master of pastoral liturgy, Fr. Chupungco invites readers to uncover the beauty, precision, and prayerful wisdom of the Church’s liturgical language—deepening their understanding of how the Mass forms hearts and minds in faith.
