Synopsis:

Shows how the traditional Mass sums up the entire Old Testament worship from the time of Adam to the time of Christ, how even minute details of the present Mass were used by Christ in the very First Mass, and how they have come down to our day with the same symbolic meaning they originally had. The author delves into the history and tradition of every aspect of Hebrew worship and shows clearly how Our Lord blended and wove them all together into the beautiful liturgy we call the Mass.

About the Author:

Father James L. Meagher, D.D., lived in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. His extensive work entitled How Christ Said the First Mass was originally published in 1906 by Christian Press Association Publishing Company, New York. It was reprinted several times, beginning in 1975 by Marian Publications. Father Meagher's purpose with the book was to explain how the scriptural methods of worship, from the time of Adam down to that of Christ, were summed up in the Old Testament. In it, he explains the meaning behind every aspect of the Holy Catholic Sacrifice of the Mass. How Christ Said the First Mass was republished by TAN Books in 1984.
