[Pablo Galiana]

Expone con claridad y sencillez qué es la santa Misa, las diversas partes de la liturgia y qué debe suponer la Eucaristía en la vida de cada bautizado. Útil para todos.

I used this as a reference book when I taught CLE to Yr II students at OB Montessori. This is one book you will never outgrow. Each reading will bring a different perspective to the different parts of the Mass and their significance. Which reminds me, I have to reread this asap.
