Further Resources for the Mystical Body Mystical Voice Program
"Mystical
Body, Mystical Voice
is an unusually rich and thorough
exploration of the meaning of the Liturgy -
the signs, symbols and language of our
worship, and the divine reality that
animates all three. Comprehensive in their
scope, engaging in their detail, the authors
have created an invaluable theological
resource for the Church as we welcome the
implementation of the new Roman Missal."

Accompanying Book to the MBMV Program:
Mystical Body, Mystical Voice: Encountering Christ in the Words of the Mass
Christopher Carstens and Douglas Martis |
As an initiative of
the Liturgical Institute at
the University of Saint Mary
of the Lake and Liturgy
Training Publications (LTP),
Mystical Body,
Mystical Voice: Encountering
Christ in the Words of the
Mass,
uses the texts of the third
typical edition of the Roman
Missal to illustrate how the
liturgy is enriched and the
Church's understanding of
the Second Vatican Council
is deepened through the
translation of the Missal.
This book is not simply a
guide that explains the
revised texts as if we were
simply changing the words we
say at Mass; rather, it
seizes the opportunity of
the promulgation of the
third edition of
The Roman
Missal
as a valuable vehicle for
liturgical catechesis.
Grounded in sacramental
theology and the liturgical
rites of the Church,
respected authors Rev.
Douglas Martis, sacramental
theologian, seminary
professor, Director of the
Liturgical Institute, and
Christopher Carstens,
Director of the Office of
Worship, LaCrosse,
WI--recall for the readers
that the Sacred Liturgy is
safeguarded by the Church.
Its purpose is the
glorification of God and the
sanctification of humanity.
To that end, the texts of
the Mass are viewed in light
of the Paschal Mystery and
the Church as the mystical
body of Christ.
Mystical Body,
Mystical Voice
is intended to assist
pastors; associate pastors,
deacons; directors of
liturgy; music; religious
education programs; and
parish and diocesan leaders
in their catechesis about
the Mass in light of the
third edition of
The Roman
Missal.
This accessible book
explores:
• The sacramental nature
of the liturgy,
• The symbolic use of
words in the liturgy,
• A brief history of
translation of the missal,
• An examination of the
texts of the Mass,
• A section on liturgical
catechesis,
• Features discussion
questions to help parish

"What I find so appealing about Mystical
Body, Mystical Voice is its pastoral and
sacramental approach to the new Roman
Missal. This book will assist the parish
priest by helping parishioners to
understand the celebration of the Eucharist
in a deeper way. Christopher Carstens and
Fr. Douglas Martis are faithful to the
teachings of the Church and to the spirit of
the Second Vatican Council. The Eucharist
is spoken in the Christian language and this
book helps to foster the full, active and
conscious participation of each person who
is called to the Banquet of the Lamb."
