Many Catholics believe that far more people would  attend if only the homilies were better, or the music were more  inspiring, or . . . the list goes on. But best-selling authors Fr.  Dominic Grassi and Joe Paprocki are convinced that the real problem lies  not in the Mass itself but in a lack of understanding of how the Mass  prepares each person to live day in and day out as a baptized Catholic  Christian. \u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eLiving the Mass\u003c\/i\u003e, Grassi and Paprocki show how each part of  the Mass relates to our baptismal call, closing the chasm between Sunday  Mass and daily life. This newly revised edition takes into account the  changes in the new \u003ci\u003eRoman Missal\u003c\/i\u003e, yet rather than isolating  those texts or commenting on them, the authors have integrated the  changes seamlessly into the book. This assimilation ensures that readers  stay focused on the core message of the book—how the Mass as a whole  changes us—rather than become sidetracked by the Missal’s new texts.\u003cbr\u003eIdeal for the countless Catholics who attend Mass simply out of habit,  for the many who haven’t been to Mass in a while, or for anyone seeking  to join the Catholic Church, \u003ci\u003eLiving the Mass\u003c\/i\u003e compellingly demonstrates how the one hour spent at Mass on Sunday can truly transform the other 167 hours of the week.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Loyola Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47119165063408,"sku":"9780829436198","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780829436198_p0.jpg?v=1763755892","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780829436198","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
