∞ INSPIRING SLIDESHOWS
The works of the masters help illustrate the evolution of the Mass.
∞ INTERACTIVE MAPS

∞ CAPTIVATING AUDIO
Prayers in Hebrew, Greek, Latin and English as well as Gregorian chants and other liturgical music take center stage.

∞ SCALABLE IMAGES
Zoom in to discover the intricacies of medieval illuminations and marvel at the brushwork of the great masters.

"An extraordinary work using the latest technology to advance the proclamation of the Gospel."
—The Most Reverend Thomas G. Wenski, Archbishop of Miami
Please note: The Mass Explained app focuses on the Ordinary Form of the Roman Rite—the Mass with which most Catholics are familiar. The app also frequently references the Extraordinary Form of the Mass, also known as the Latin Mass.
This first volume addresses the Introductory Rites and the Liturgy of the Word. A future second volume will cover the Liturgy of the Eucharist and the Concluding Rites.
The Mass Explained app is designed to work in vertical orientation only.
