Understanding The Mystery Of The Mass

“Si Scires donum Dei” — if you knew the gift of God. The Holy Mass is the greatest gift of all — the ultimate sacrifice on Calvary. If you believed that, you would attend Mass daily. In this book, Understanding the Mystery of the Mass, Fr. Matthew Buettner brings out the importance of understanding the Mass. He explains the Mass so clearly he enables us to participate fully and not “just sit there” in the pew. The rich text of this book guides us to the fruits of prayer and the greatest gift–The Holy Eucharist. This book helps us see how much we need the Mass in our daily lives. It is easy to read and once you start you will find it hard to put down until you have finished. This book is a real learning experience–life changing–in that you will become much more aware of the sacredness of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass by understanding the meaning behind each segment of the liturgy.

The Blessed Mother asks us to make the Mass our own. It is a time to communicate with God. He is waiting for you because he wants your love in return for His. He wants your heart to belong to Him, given willingly. The Mass is a prayer in itself–the highest form of prayer that exists.

The book has received a Nihil Obstat and Imprimatur given by Fr. Buettner’s local bishop, the Rev. Peter J. Jugis, J.C.D.
Foreword by Dr. Alice Von Hildebrand.
