Explanation of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass

Rev. Father Martin von Cochem of the Capuchin Order wrote many erudite and edifying spiritual treatises. None of these however is equal in learning and in practical usefulness to his Explanation of the Holy Mass which is compiled from the teaching of the holy Catholic Church of the early fathers of contemporary theologians and spiritual writers. It is moreover written in an agreeable and impressive manner and the perusal of it cannot fail to give the reader a better acquaintance with the nature of the Mass to inflame him with devotion for it and greatly to increase his desire to lose no opportunity of celebrating the Holy Sacrifice or assisting at it as the case may be.
