Book Overview

All Christians know his name. Few truly know the man.

Francis of Assisi was not even five feet tall. He was not well educated. And yet he is the one saint commonly recognized as Alter Christus, the "other Christ." Francis is not just any saint--he's a saint for everyone, whatever your place or position in life. But do we really know him?

Who was this man at his core? What was it that thrust this little man from a little town...

Remarkable Book

The claim on the cover of this book "Everyone who reads The Incredible Catholic Mass will think of his Mass attendance in terms of before and after this book." rang true for me. I feel much closer to Jesus during the Mass now that I understand exactly what it's for and why Christ instituted it. I knew the Mass was an important means of worshiping God, but I had no idea how much we personally gain by devout attendance. I wish I could go every day.

A wonderful book about Mass

This book explains the nature and essence of the Holy Sacrifice of Mass, its real meaning and significance. After its reading, nobody will ever face the Holy Mass the same way again, having understood what truly happens there: the bloodless renovation of Christ's sacrifice in favour of a sinful mankind. The reader will increase in a great scale his devotion towards Mass and will assist its celebration much more frequently with major profitableness. Highly recommend for real catholics!A final note: the author, Father Martin von Cochem, lived during the second half of the 17th century and the first quarter of the 18th century, much before the disastrous Second Vatican Council; the Mass analysed in his work is obviously the eternal Roman Rite Mass - the Tridentine Mass -, not the extravagant New Order Mass of Paul VI; the book can only be fully perceived having that factor in consideration.

This book will help you appreciate the Mass...

This book was written long ago, and thus was aimed at the traditional latin Mass, but it is also just as appropriate for the current Mass. This book is a little long, but is a great read! It dramatically improved my whole understanding of the Mass, what it means, and what is actually happening during Mass. This book will make you want to attend Mass on a daily basis, not just on Sundays. This may be the most important book that a Catholic could read, because of its ability to make attending Mass a pleasure instead of a "Sunday obligation". Scott Hahn's "The Lambs Supper" is another good book (and is a quicker read than this one), but "The Incredible Catholic Mass" is my favorite. Buy it, read it, and then re-read it periodically.

Looking to learn more about the Mass?

You'll learn more than you think! In fact, i'd be surprised if you didn't start attending Mass DAILY after reading this book! It is by far the most excellent book on the Mass that I have ever read! You will put down this book only to pick it up again, and again, and again for years to come.

THE HIGHEST ACT OF WORSHIP - THE HOLY CATHOLIC MASS

Reading even a snipet of this book, can change forever the way you worship during the Holy Mass. If your mind tends to wander and you lose your concentration during the Mass, that will never happen again. Each step of the Mass will become for you, the most intense act of Worship. Knowing its true value will place a desire in your soul to make this 'Highest Act of Worship' every day for the rest of your life! Read it and see!
