The Roman Mass: From Early Christian Origins to Tridentine Reform by Uwe Michael Lang (review)

Abstract

brothers and sisters in a sacrificial love which extends to all of creation. “This contemplative move . . . is a highly graced internalization in a process that allows us to bask in the radiant grace of divine presence before returning to that challenging baptismal mission to live authentic Eucharistic lives” (107). Parish priests and other pastoral ministers who oversee Eucharistic devotions will benefit from this book, as will those engaged in spiritual direction. Finally, lay Catholics committed to the current Eucharistic revival will find in Foley’s work much to consider for their own devotion to the Blessed Sacrament.
