The Art of the Roman Missal, Third Edition

Liturgical Press was among the few publishers that commissioned original artwork for its version of The Roman Missal, Third Edition. Those seventeen two-color illustrations by award-winning illustrator Martin Erspamer, OSB, of Saint Meinrad Archabbey are presented here in CD format for projection and use in prayer. These unique, expressive images depict holy days and feasts in a style that is both contemporary and evocative of the long history of monastic illustrative art.
