They say a picture is worth a 1000 words. In our multimedia culture, I think it is probably worth even more. And in our ecclesial culture which is so sorely lacking in transcedent liturgy, it is even more exponentially important.
To that end, I've added another section on the side-bar: Liturgical Videos.
Now, this list isn't meant to be comprehensive. I know of others out there. Rather I am presenting those videos which I have found to be excellent in quality, or in addition, I am including videos which are also unique in their function (as for example one which is a rubrical explanation of the Tridentine Mass; well produced, and also unique.)
Here's the list for your ease:
CLASSICAL ROMAN RITE
- Solemn High Mass, Low Mass and Benediction according to the Tridentine Rite (VHS. Contact The Latin Mass Society of England and Wales to arrange purchase.)
- Fr. Fryar's First Tridentine Mass (DVD/VHS. USA. Includes features and Mass setting composed for this Mass.)
- Tradition: The Latin Mass with Gregorian Choir (FSSP. Kansas City.)
- Pilgrimage: Highlights of the Tenth Anniversary (FSSP. Rome. Highlights)
- Gate of Heaven (ICKSP. DVD/VHS. Highlights of Consecration of Church and Pontifical High Mass.)
- Solemn Votive Mass in Honor of Saint Gregory the Great (VHS. St. Gregory Society.)
- The Most Beautiful Thing this Side of Heaven (Tridentine Rubrical Explanation Video)
OTHER WESTERN RITES
- Ambrosian Rite Liturgy - Pre-conciliar (Rome. DVD/VHS pre-ordering available; also available for online viewing.)
- Dominican Rite Liturgy (Rosary Center, USA. VHS)
- Holy Mass According to the Book of Divine Worship (DVD. Anglican Use in the Latin Rite.)
REFORM OF THE REFORM
- Contact St. Mary's, Greenville, SC and ask for the Ordination DVD of Fr. Christopher Smith. Modern Roman Rite in Latin with Gregorian Chant.
- Contact St. John Cantius Parish Webstore in Chicago and inquire about their Ordination Video with Cardinal George. I believe it is Modern Roman Rite though not certain.
- Consecration of Holy Family Church (Toronto Oratory)
- Watch EWTN.
