ISBN : 0385504802
Book Description
As seen on EWTN, bestselling author Scott Hahn unveils the mysteries of the Mass, offering readers a deeper appreciation of the most familiar of Catholic rituals. Of all things Catholic, there is nothing that is so familiar as the Mass. With its unchanging prayers, the Mass fits Catholics like their favorite clothes. Yet most Catholics sitting in the pews on Sundays fail to see the powerful supernatural drama that enfolds them. Pope John Paul II described the Mass as "Heaven on Earth," explaining that what "we celebrate on Earth is a mysterious participation in the heavenly liturgy." The Lamb’s Supper reveals a long-lost secret of the Church: The early Christians' key to understanding the mysteries of the Mass was the New Testament Book of Revelation. With its bizarre imagery, its mystic visions of heaven, and its end-of-time prophecies, Revelation mirrors the sacrifice and celebration of the Eucharist. Beautifully written, in clear direct language, bestselling Catholic author Scott Hahn's new book will help readers see the Mass with new eyes, pray the liturgy with a renewed heart, and enter into the Mass more fully, enthusiastically, intelligently, and powerfully than ever before.

The Word Is Flesh and Blood

Category : Lord's Supper
ISBN : 9781905604166
Book Description
The Word is Flesh and Blood follows the movement of the mass. In 15 chapters, it explores the biblical sources and inspiration of this great sacramental action, after the pattern of 'assembly,' 'word,' 'eucharist' and mission. Here are reflections from an international team of scholars on the place of the Old Testament in Christian worship, on the Psalms, and on the New Testament, especially the gospels. You will also find discussion on the place of music in Scripture and liturgy, as well as the formation and use of creeds. Preaching is understood as sacrifical action, and thus uniting the service of the word with the service of the altar. We see the distinctive character of Christian prayer, notably in meditations on the invocation of the Holy Spirit and the remembrance of the Last Supper. A reflection on the Lord's Prayer follows, as well as one on the supper of the lamb, anticipated at the altar.
