The Holy Mass

Beschreibung

This meditation by the mystic Von Speyr contains many penetrating insights about the nature of the Mass as sacrifice -- of Christ, of his priest, and of every believer united with the entire Church -- expressed with lucid and transparent concepts. It gives the real truth that the Church's constant re-enactment of Christ's "sacrifice once offered" transcends all time.
