Product Details

This Pocket Guide to the Mass by Fr. Mike Schmitz and Dr. Edward Sri is meant to assist even the most devout Catholics who might be slipping into a routine experience of the Mass. Let’s face it, attending Mass can sometimes start to feel routine because the human mind always desires novelty. Therefore, many Catholics can find themselves going through the motions, feeling bored, or distracted by thoughts and responsibilities. Pocket Guide to the Mass is designed to awaken a whole new level of engagement with the Mass by guiding you into reviewed clarity, devotion, and awe.

In Pocket Guide to the Mass, Fr. Mike Schmitz and Dr. Edward Sri invite you to see the Liturgy not as a familiar ritual, but as a profound encounter with Christ. This accessible guide helps you understand and participate in the Mass by discovering the theological foundation of the Mass, why we go to the Mass in the first place and how each of the four main parts of the Mass draws you closer to God. Whether you’re new to the Mass, returning after a long absence, or have attended for years but long for a deeper experience, Pocket Guide to the Mass transforms how you approach the Liturgy. Walk out of every Mass changed, renewed, and closer to Jesus. 

In addition, you learn:

• The biblical roots and rich history of the Liturgy
• Why the Sunday obligation is central to our faith
• How to prepare your heart before Mass and remain present throughout
• What is really happening on the altar
• How to respond with intention rather than distraction
