The actual title of the essay was:

Critically evaluate Chapter III of GIRM – The Christian People’s Duties and Ministries in the Mass.


This sounded like an easy essay, just read one chapter of 'The General Instructions on the Roman Missal' (or GIRM for short) and comment on it. However, when I started trying to write the essay I realised this was a lot more difficult than I thought. It wasn't until I started to think about how we used those instructions at St. Augustine's that I started getting an idea how to write the essay.

My mark for this essay was 55%.
