The Prayers over the Offerings in the Post-Vatican II Roman Missal: Texts and Sources

The Prayers over the Offerings in the Post-Vatican II Roman Missal: Texts and Sources aims to provide easy access to the Latin source texts for every single oratio super oblata (prayer over the offerings) in the Roman Missal as reformed after the Second Vatican Council. It is a companion volume to The Post-Communion Prayers in the Ordinary Form of the Roman Rite: Texts and Sources (2020).

By utilising this book, readers will be able to compare any given super oblata in the 1970/2008 Missale Romanum with its source text(s), to observe any differences between the texts, and how major or minor such differences might be in terms of tone, vocabulary, style, theology, etc. Along with references to the editions of the various source texts, citations of the Corpus Orationum and Corpus Praefationum series of volumes (Brepols) have also been provided where possible, to aid further research.

As well as being helpful for studies of the prayers over the offerings in the Roman Missal as reformed after the Second Vatican Council, this book is another contribution by Matthew Hazell to the ongoing critical assessment of the post-Vatican II liturgical reforms.
