Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Cochem's Explanation of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass: With an Appendix, Containing Devotions for Mass, for Confession, and for Communion
This is a very old-fashioned book; a book written with that sturdy faith and solid devotional feeling which knows no doubt, and acknowledges God's best work with a thankful heart. It will be refreshing reading to our nineteenth-century public, the majority of which lives and acts as if God were not nigh unto us and His saving Sacrifice were not the real immolation of His body and the actual spilling of His blood. In these days of material wonders, we believe in the supernatural life of the Church just as a spoiled child believes in the love of its parents, viz., we take it for granted, and do not bother about it. Some men believe only in a gen eral, abstract way, and go to Mass as a man without appetite goes to the table at the dinner hour-because it is customary.
