The Church and her saints describe the Mass as "the greatest thing we done on earth." Why? Because the Sacred Liturgy ushers us into a divine dimension of reality where we encounter the Risen Christ. Yet ou behavior and expectations often belie the importance of the great action of the Mass. If you want to deepen your dialogue with God and experience the life-changing power of the Eucharist in your life, then The Mass is must-reading. Take a guided tour through the history and rituals of the Mass with Joan Carter McHugh, whose down-to-earth stories from the lives of the saints as well as personal anecdotes and testimony of the healing power of the Mass in her own life, will challenge you to a deeper participation in the Sacred Liturgy, where she promises you will find new meaning and hope for your life.
