The Mass - A Guided Tour

Product Description

"If you are looking for a balanced and comprehensive treatment of what Catholics believe about this sacrament, there are many books which you might find helpful - not the least important of which would be the Catechism of the Catholic Church....But if you are looking for a different type of adventure, get ready to pack your bags, and turn the page." - from the Introduction

Father Richstatter shares with us his enjoyment of travel and being a tour guide. He says, "I'd like to take you on a tour of the Mass to help you see the important things - at least the things that I, from my experience, consider to be significant topics for us today...Another reason why I am eager to take you on this journey is because each time I guide this tour, I see new things myself - often for the first time. I continually stand in awe of the inexhaustible riches of the Eucharist."

The Mass is a central mystery of our Catholic faith, but that does not mean that everything about it has to be mysterious. In this book Father Thomas Richstatter uses simple, easy-to-understand language to explore and explain the Mass. The result is a guide to what the Mass means to our Catholic faith and how its different elements invite us to experience that faith more deeply and express it more fully.
