The Mass in Movements - Conversion, Consecration, Communion (2nd Edition)
The Mass brings Christ to us! This book can help the reader bring himself to Christ in the Mass, and therefore find Him there, and receive Him.

The Holy Mass is the liturgy at the very center of a Catholic Christian life. In the Mass we encounter Christ both in His Word, and in the Holy Eucharist - and in those two encounters, two liturgies, we find three distinct but related movements. In those three movements in the Mass we the Christian people are called first to Conversion, then to Consecration, and then to Communion. Each of the three is an encounter with Christ! All three are preparing us for the final Sending at the close of the Mass. We are a sent people: sent by Christ by His power, in His name, to finish the work that He began.

The Church teaches that the Eucharist is �the Source and Summit� of the Christian life! (Catechism 1324) To personally receive this Source fruitfully - to truly attain the Summit which is present to us - requires of us that we are actually personally present to the reality of the Mass.

This book takes the reader through the Mass, interiorly. In each of the major parts of the Mass, the reader is helped to understand and to enter the sacred liturgy with the �full, conscious and active participation� (Catechism 1141) that is necessary for the Mass to do its work in us.

This 2nd Edition of this book is a result of a series of presentations in the parish on the Mass and how we "in the pews" can personally engage in the active participation needed, in our hearts and minds, as we move through the three Movements.
