A luminous guide to the Mass — its history, its mystery, its meaning for daily life.
The Eucharist is the source and summit of Catholic life, yet how often do we truly understand what is happening at Mass? In Bread of Life, Cup of Salvation, Fr. John F. Baldovin, S.J., offers a clear, accessible, and deeply enriching commentary on the Mass — from its roots in the New Testament to its living expression in the Church today.
Drawing on the Catechism of the Catholic Church and the General Instruction on the Roman Missal, Fr. Baldovin answers the questions many Catholics quietly carry:
- Where did the Mass come from, and how did it develop?
- Why do we always read from the Gospels last?
- What makes the Eucharistic Prayer the center and highpoint of the Mass?
- Why does it matter whether communion is consecrated at the Mass itself?
- Why was the exchange of peace restored?
Concise, scholarly, and written for the everyday Catholic, this book deepens your love for the Mass and strengthens your conviction of its importance in ordinary Christian life.
