Know
Him in the Breaking of the Bread
A Guide to the Mass
Author: Fr. Francis Randolph
In accessible and lively prose, this book explains the ceremonies of the Catholic Mass and their meaning for lay people, including the young. It is designed to meet the widespread complaint that the Mass is boring, incomprehensible, or alienating. Fr. Randolph goes through the Mass step by step, looking at the origin and purpose of the various elements, and relating them to the reader's experience of prayer and the Christian life. Suggestions are made for ways to enhance our appreciation of the liturgy, how to prepare for Mass, and how to carry the grace of the Mass out into the world. A supplementary chapter looks at the use of Latin in the Mass, its past and present value, and explains it in the context of contemplative prayer.
"Fr.
Randolph weaves together liturgical, doctrinal, historical, and spiritual themes,
bringing the timeless truths of the Lord's Sacrifice and His Real Presence into
the context of worship today. The mysteries of the Mass are presented with detailed
information that inspires devotion while gently correcting error. This book
is not only adult reading. It is an ideal resource for teachers and catechists
working with young people."
--Msgr. Peter Elliott, Author, Ceremonies of the Modern Roman Rite
"This
very instructive book brings the Mass to life. He points out the significance
of every word, gesture, and ritual, making the Mass very personal."
