Word Without End: The Mass – Splendor of the Incarnation
by Francis J Pierson, £10 (from catholicstore.com)
Pierson, an educated Catholic layman but not a professional theologian, has written the best book on the Mass that I have read for a long time. Subtitled How the Power of Love Conquers Man’s Love of Power, the book describes the three great “miracles” of the Christian faith: the Incarnation, the Resurrection and the Eucharist, and shows how the Eucharist “lifts both the Incarnation and the Resurrection from the static pages of history and makes them present, vital and relevant to every succeeding generation”.
