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—the Introductory and Concluding Rites and Liturgies of the Word and the Eucharist—invite us to experience that faith more deeply and express it more fully.
