The Mass: Four Encounters with Jesus That Will Change Your Life
Allow me to take this moment to thank you for passing along Tom Curran's new book,The Mass: Four Encounters With Jesus that Will Change Your Life.Sadly, so many Catholics sit back in their pews like uninterested spectators , unaware that Christ, the Living Lord, is present to them and wants to make Himself known to them. This new book helps to shape the minds of Catholics everywhere, who are seeking to make sense of the Mass. It will draw hearts closer to Christ, and move them to become his faithful followers.Please pass along my words of congratulations to Tom and my praise forThe Mass: Four Encounters With Jesus that Will Change Your Life. I will be sure to share this book with the religious education and evangelization offices here at the Archdiocese of Boston.Asking our lady, Mother of the Divine Shepherd, to draw you and your loved ones into the eternal and loving embrace of her Son, I remain devotedly yours in Christ, --Cardinal Seán P. O Malley, O.F.M. Cap., Archbishop of Boston, MassachusettsDr. Currans book not only lends itself to personal spiritual reading, but Catechists and teachers can gain insights about how the leavening impact of the Eucharist can help those they serve draw closer to Jesus Christ. I highly recommend this book. --Most reverend Joseph J. Tyson, Auxiliary Bishop, Archdiocese of SeattleToo many people find the Mass boring. This book successfully addresses a pressing pastoral issue. How do we help Catholics encounter Jesus Christ at Mass? What could be more important to a Catholic than that? --Fr.
