Bishop Michael Scotto-Daniello

The Revised Divine Liturgy According to Our Holy Father Ambrose of Milan Bishop Michael Scotto-Daniello

This is the seventh volume in a series dealing with the Revised Ambrosian Rite. In many ways the Gallican, Roman and Ambrosian Rites had a very similar ritual over a thousand years ago. This book can be used by priests as a Missal in order to consecrate Marriages according to the Ambrosian Rite as used by Opus Apostolorum. All prayers are faithful and carefully translated from the Latin in order to remain accurate in all aspects liturgically. This volume is an excellent resource for married couples who prefer to return to early liturgical practices and also for students of liturgical studies. St John Chrysostom in a homily regarding marriage stated: The love of husband and wife is the force that welds society together. Men will take up arms and even sacrifice their lives for the sake of this love. St. Paul would not speak so earnestly about this subject without serious reason; why else would he say, Wives, be subject to your husbands, as to the Lord? Because when harmony prevails, the children are raised well, the household is kept in order, and neighbors, friends and relatives praise the result. Great benefits, both for families and states, are thus produced. When it is otherwise however, everything is thrown into confusion and turned upside down. When the generals of an army are at peace with each other, everything proceeds in an orderly fashion, and when they are not, everything is in disarray.
