The Eucharist: A View from the Pew

by Gerard P. Weber

"In my descriptions of what the people in the pews do during Mass...I am interested in priming discussions about the meaning of the various prayers and actions of the eucharistic celebration, as well as surfacing people's thoughts and feelings about them." Would you like to get more out of Mass? This book is aimed at those who go to Mass every Sunday with no special role, except as a member of the congregation. Offering a view from the pew, Father Weber describes the meaning, or various takes on the meaning, of what actually occurs at Mass, taking the reader through the Mass step by step, from Entrance Song to Concluding Rite. Ideal for use in small groups of inquirers or new Catholics or for Catholics who would like a fresh perspective on the Mass.
