Product Description
Product Description
An absolute revelation to most Catholics! Based on the Traditional Latin Mass, but actually about the essence of the Mass itself. Shows it is not just a prayer, but a powerful sacrifice given to us by Almighty God to fulfill all our spiritual needs. You will divide your life into "before" and "after" you read this book. Going to Mass will never be the same again, once you appreciate the significance of every Mass (as explained by this book). Every Catholic needs to read this! Imprimatur.

A wonderful book about Mass,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Incredible Catholic Mass: An Explanation of the Mass (Paperback)
This book explains the nature and essence of the Holy Sacrifice of Mass, its real meaning and significance. After its reading, nobody will ever face the Holy Mass the same way again, having understood what truly happens there: the bloodless renovation of Christ's sacrifice in favour of a sinful mankind. The reader will increase in a great scale his devotion towards Mass and will assist its celebration much more frequently with major profitableness. Highly recommend for real catholics!A final note: the author, Father Martin von Cochem, lived during the second half of the 17th century and the first quarter of the 18th century, much before the disastrous Second Vatican Council; the Mass analysed in his work is obviously the eternal Roman Rite Mass - the Tridentine Mass -, not the extravagant New Order Mass of Paul VI; the book can only be fully perceived having that factor in consideration.

This book will help you appreciate the Mass...,
By Chris J. Hudson "Chris Hudson" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Incredible Catholic Mass: An Explanation of the Mass (Paperback)
This book was written long ago, and thus was aimed at the traditional latin Mass, but it is also just as appropriate for the current Mass. This book is a little long, but is a great read! It dramatically improved my whole understanding of the Mass, what it means, and what is actually happening during Mass. This book will make you want to attend Mass on a daily basis, not just on Sundays. This may be the most important book that a Catholic could read, because of its ability to make attending Mass a pleasure instead of a "Sunday obligation". Scott Hahn's "The Lambs Supper" is another good book (and is a quicker read than this one), but "The Incredible Catholic Mass" is my favorite. Buy it, read it, and then re-read it periodically.

The Incredible Catholic Mass,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Incredible Catholic Mass: An Explanation of the Mass (Paperback)
This book was originally written in 1704 by a German priest following the 30 years war. He was surprised and anguished by the lack of knowledge and understanding the general public had about faith and the church. It was written to educate and give people a true understanding about the sacrificial mass. It is on the technical side, but this may be just do to the fact that current day Catholics have little understanding of the terminology used by the church centuries ago. I like the book because it makes clear what was meant when Jesus employed the church to '...do this for a commemoration of Me'. I also find it interesting to read what critics of the church had to say centuries ago, as critics still say today. The writer has strong rebuttle for each attack. I would not recommend this for someone who just wants the basics of mass, or for the RCIA candidate. This is meaty and I recommend it for someone who wants a very complete Catholic library or is doing research on the mass. It is an excellent piece of church history as well.
