The Illustrated Mass is a detailed, fully illustrated, step-by-step explanation of the Traditional Latin Mass. The book presents the theology of the Mass in a manner easily understood by children and yet is incredibly interesting and informative for adults as well. This priest has the amazing ability to take solid theology and present it to children without dumbing it down. He was truly a gifted writer. This makes The Illustrated Mass an excellent catechetical tool for all ages. All parts of the Holy Sacrifice are covered, from the preparation for Mass, the altar, sacred vessels and vestments, liturgical actions, the sanctuary, and some liturgical history as well, including helpful suggestions for children to get the most out of Mass. Ideal as a First Holy Communion gift, perfect as a school book in many grades, suggested at Grade 4 and up. Great for converts as well. Anyone who delves into this book cannot come away ignorant of the true significance of the liturgical representation of Our Lord's Sacrifice on Calvary that is the Holy Mass.
