This 300-page book is a great tool for initiation to the faith and to the Holy Mass, as well as for deepening our knowledge and appreciation of this Holy Sacrifice that the Church has been celebrating for 2000 years. This book contains many illustrations; some of them were designed to be teaching aids, while others will captivate the reader with their traditional symbols of the faith. The book presents in a simple way what might seem complicated to one who is not a scholar in theology. The book features: a History of the Mass rooted in Judaism; Preparations for the Eucharistic celebration; the entire Liturgy; Church Norms and Guidelines for Lay liturgical ministries; Eucharistic Miracles and Devotions; and elements for Catechesis, including 125 questions and answers. Many quotations from the Bible and Church documents have been included directly in the text; Church documents such as: The Roman Missal (2nd edition), the GIRM (3rd edition), the Catechism of the Catholic Church, Redemptionis Sacramentum, Ecclesia de Eucharistia, Sacrosanctum Concilium, Mediator Dei and others.
