"I pray that this book will find a place in every priest's office, every Catholic school, and every Catholic home." —Fr. Daniel Cooper, SSPX
You cannot love what you do not know. This fact, while frustrating, certainly underscores the importance of knowing as much as one can about the single most significant act in human history: Christ's self-sacrifice on the cross. The Mass is that sacrifice, and this book is the key to understanding on a deeper level.
This Catholic classic provides an illustrated commentary on the traditional Latin Mass. Written with the newcomer in mind but rich enough for lifelong Catholics, Fr. Dunney describes the profound historical and religious significance of the role of the priest, vestments, sacred vessels, and liturgical symbolism. Most importantly, he unveils the religious meaning behind every facet of this central liturgical act of the immemorial Roman Rite.
Those new to the traditional Mass will be grateful for having such an exquisitely detailed book in their hands, while longtime participants will wish they had discovered this book years ago.
"Let adults use this book to understand the depth and the riches of our greatest treasure, worth more to the world than any other activity or pursuit." —Fr. Daniel Cooper, SSPX
