Popular, award-winning writer Paula Huston draws on her spiritual wisdom and talent as a novelist to provide both a moment-by-moment record of her experience at Mass on the fourteenth Sunday of Ordinary Time at her home parish in Arroyo Grande, California, and a theologically and historically rich exploration of the origin and meaning of the liturgy. Huston’s personal and spiritual reflections offer fresh and often unexpected insights into the profound mystery at the heart of the Catholic faith.
For Catholics, the Mass is the “source and summit of the Christian life,” as the documents of the Church put it. Yet many Catholics might confess to not understand in any depth what goes on in an “ordinary” celebration of the Eucharist. This is a book for Catholics who have questions about the most basic practice of their faith, who are new to the Church and still somewhat baffled about its rituals of worship, or who have left the Church behind but still feel like part of the family.
