This isn't so much a book about the Mass itself as it is a book about how to LIVE the Mass. We are meant to live the Mass, not merely attend it, write authors Fr. Dominic Grassi and Joe Paprocki, a priest and a layman who fervently believe that the central worship event of the Catholic faith is meant to transform our world.
