What Happens at Mass / Jeremy Driscoll

What Happens at Mass draws the reader to a deeper understanding of the Mystery of Faith.  The Mass is the Gift of and Encounter with Jesus Christ.  What Happens at Mass is about God acting in our lives through tangible human actions and words.  This book will bring the reader closer to the ritual form of the Mass that is nothing less than an encounter with God through Jesus. 

In clear accessible language Jeremy Driscoll, OSB guides the reader through the ritual shape of the mass.  This revised edition incorporates the language of the Revised Roman Missal.

“The book simple and straightforward, but not simplified.  It is thoughtful and theologically profound.  I think that it has something to offer adult education programs, to mystagogia programs, and to study programs for Liturgy commissions.I think everybody ought to read this book because everybody can learn something from it. I wish I had written it myself!”
