The Wonders of the Mass

+JMJ

Praised be Jesus Christ! To the few that still read or occasionally stop by to see if I have actually written anything, hello! Forgive my long hiatus. School, work, and other things tend to get the better of me and my time. Today, I wanted to share some of the great insight from a recent reading of the very short The Wonders of the Mass by Fr. Paul O'Sullivan, O.P. Fr. O'Sullivan has written a number of beautiful short books, one of which is one of my favorites, All About the Angels. The Wonders of the Mass is more or less a 'pamphlet' rather than a book considering it has only 42 pages and is about 6 inches tall, but it is still an awe-inspiring book.

Fr. O'Sullivan writes so simply and eloquently about the many graces available just by fully participating in the Mass and it is the highest form of praise both on earth and in heaven! Although I had heard this a number of times before, he goes slightly more in depth with the multitude of angels present at every Mass and how they bow down to the priest who gives us from his hands Our Lord and Savior. The book also spoke most highly of priests and the wonderful things they give to us. May God bless our holy priests! There is just so much said in the short 42 pages that just sets your heart on fire for love of the Mass. It is amazing how many little things there are in the Mass that many do not notice nor care to look into that could bring them closer to Christ and help them to understand the awesome power of the Mass.

I pray that we may all be able to love and understand the beauty and the power of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. God Bless you all abundantly!

Lord, Thy Will Be Done!
