ABOUT THE BOOK:
Three world-famous figures have combined their talents to produce this beautiful book dedicated to a greater understanding of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

Daniel-Rops, member of the French Academy and outstanding Catholic author, has written a text describing each step of the Mass, its history and its significance, and has added to this a series of beautiful prayers for the use of the reader in his or her own devotions.

Bishop Sheen, whose books, television and radio appearances and present work as National Director of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith have made him one of America's best-known and best-loved Catholic figures, has posed for the photographs illustrating the celebration of the Mass and has prepared an introduction which is in itself a major contribution to the understanding of the Holy Sacrifice.

Karsh of Ottawa, great portrait photographer and artist of the camera, has photographed Bishop Sheen celebrating the Mass in his own lovely private chapel, with a frontispiece in full color and thirty magnificent black and white photographs.

And the work of all three has been combined and presented in a style and format which makes this book unquestionably the most beautiful ever produced on its subject.
