[Sara J. (kefuwa) · Rating 5 out of 5]

A great read on attending and participating in the Eucharistic Mass. Written by Fr Slavko Barbaric who is the priest advisor for the Medjugorje visionaries, the passages are laced with the Medjugorje messages and biblical passages for a guideline into putting your heart into celebrating the mass. Personally I have been up and down in my own earthly exile in terms of faith - and the appreciation I have for the mass has been verily built and rebuilt brick by brick over the years. It is a gift. So sadly overlooked, misunderstood and disregarded by modernism. And far beyond the grasp of many (mostly from want of trying - I guess 'want' being the operative word). And I have a long way yet to go myself...
