Level Four: Sancta Missa Reader

Description

Level Four: Sancta Missa (The Holy Mass), is ideal for all students who have completed Level Three: Christus et Apostoli. Students who have completed Level Four are encouraged to begin study of Henle Latin I.

The fourth intermediate reader presents a brief examination of the Catholic Mass in illustrated articles and excerpts from the writings of the saints and drawing from the monumental study of the Mass, The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass; Dogmatically, Liturgically and Ascetically Explained” by the Rev. Nicholas Gihr.

Along with familiar nouns of the first three declensions, the student will learn some fourth and fifth declension nouns. Verbs that use the dative case will be featured as well as the use of appositives in the nominative and accusative case.

In the companion Sancta Missa Workbook, the student will review the first three declensions of nouns and learn nouns of the fourth and fifth declensions. Declension charts of nouns in all five cases as well as declension of adjective phrases will continue as in Level 3. Nouns in apposition will be studied along with third declension adjectives. The student will also have practice in parsing, a useful method of analyzing components of a Latin sentence.

This reader is small format (5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″) and has 58 pages. Illustrated. 2nd Edition
