To help you fully tap into the abundance of grace offered at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, Fr. Timothy Gallagher resurrects here the teachings of Venerable Bruno Lanteri. A holy priest seeking to root himself in prayer during the turbulence of war and persecution in northern Italy, Venerable Bruno developed a biblical way of praying the Mass that transforms it into a true prayer of the heart.
Fr. Gallagher discovered this method of praying the Mass forty-five years ago, and it has been a blessing for him ever since. He now shares this method with you. Through a selection of biblical figures, he invites you live each part of the Mass with these figure's sentiments and hearts. In these pages he shows you how to:
Humbly seek forgiveness like the tax collector
Give glory to God like the angels
Listen to God's Word with the hunger of a disciple
Profess the Faith with the courage of the martyrs
Receive communion with the heart of a lover
Go forth from the Mass with the zeal of an Apostle
To fruitfully pray the Mass from the heart is a gift of grace. The biblical way of praying the Mass method is a means to dispose your soul to receive this grace. Combined with spiritual exercises and reflections - and full-color images of sacred art - you'll find this book to be a great gift to not only grow in prayer during Mass, but in your spiritual life.
