Praying the Mass from the Pew - Fr. J. Francis Sofie, Jr.

by Fr. J. Francis Sofie, Jr.

The sacrifice of Christ and the sacrifice of the Eucharist are one single sacrifice. (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1367).

This is absolutely incredible! Through the Mass, past and present converge in the present moment to bring us in direct contact with our Lord and Savior and with the events that merited for us the grace of salvation. In and through the Mass, we go to the foot of Cross. We stand with Our Lady and St. John as we behold the Savior of the world! The Mass too makes present His glorious triumph over sin and death by making His Resurrection present to us. We behold, and receive in Holy Communion, the very same glorious and resurrected Lord Jesus Christ!

With photos of every part of the Mass, in-depth commentary, reflection questions, and an extensive glossary of Catholic terminology, this book would be ideal for new Catholics coming into the Church through RCIA or for young Catholics being confirmed.
