For as the Holy Father continued, \"What earlier generations held as sacred, remains sacred and great for us too, and it cannot be all of a sudden entirely forbidden or even considered harmful. It behoves all of us to preserve the riches which have developed in the Church's faith and prayer, and to give them their proper place.\" May this book assist the Church of today and of tomorrow in realising Pope Benedict's vision.'\u003c\/i\u003e - Darío Cardinal Castrillón Hoyos, President, Pontifical Commission Ecclesia Dei\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis fifteenth edition, revised in the light of Pope Benedict XVI's reforms and expanded and corrected throughout, includes a new chapter on the music of solemn and sung Mass as well as clarifications of questions that have arisen in the light of recent experience. It gives descriptions of the rites of pontifical, solemn and low Mass, Vespers, the liturgical year including Holy Week, the sacraments, Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament, funerals, episcopal visitation and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAdrian Fortescue\u003c\/b\u003e (d. 1923), priest,  polyglot and renowned scholar, wrote  the first edition of \u003ci\u003eThe Ceremonies of  the Roman Rite Described\u003c\/i\u003e during the  First World War and later revised it for a  second edition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe rubricist \u003cb\u003eCanon J.B.
