Publisher's Synopsis
Muchos católicos creen que muchas más personas irìan a misa si las homilìas fueran mejores o la música inspirara más o. . . la lista continúa. Pero tanto el Padre Dominic Grassi como Joe Paprocki, ambos escritores y autores de tìtulos bestsellers, están convencidos de que el verdadero problema no radica en la misa en sì, sino en la falta de entendimiento de cómo la misa nos prepara a cada uno de nosotros para vivir cada dìa como cristianos católicos bautizados.
Grassi y Paprocki explican en profundidad cómo se relaciona cada parte de la misa con nuestro llamado bautismal, llenando de manera efectiva la laguna que existe entre la misa del domingo y el resto de la semana.
Vivir la misa es ideal para los numerosos católicos que no han ido a misa desde hace algún tiempo, para los muchos que van a misa por costumbre o para cualquiera que desee unirse a la Iglesia Católica. Este libro demuestra cómo la hora que pasamos en misa los domingos puede transformar las otras 167 horas de la semana.
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.
In Living the Mass, 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 Roman Missal, 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.
Ideal 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, Living the Mass compellingly demonstrates how the one hour spent at Mass on Sunday can truly transform the other 167 hours of the week.
