Fulness of Sacrifice: Doctrinal and Devotional Synthesis on the Mass - Paperback

by A. M. Crofts (Author)

We are witnesses of a growing desire to participate more devoutly in the traditional Latin Mass. The venerable prayers in the Missal, the dignity of the ceremonies, the concerted movement of priests and worshippers in supplication and love, have stirred the heart of the Catholic world. Many aspects of our act of worship - its setting, foreseen in prophecy and fashioned reverently in the course of time; the heart of it, the Eternal Priest offering Himself as Victim; the memorial in His daily return, as real as when He walked to death; our sharing in that ceaseless Eucharistic action whereby the Church offers herself in Christ to God; the inexhaustible riches of the Redeemer's presence; the food of the soul on earth, with a pledge of eternal life - these are lucidly explained by Fr. Croft in this commentary, at once scriptural, devotional, and liturgical.
