Summary of Edward Sri's A Biblical Walk Through The Mass

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The Mass is the central act of Christian worship. It is the celebration of the Eucharist, which Jesus instituted at the Last Supper. The entire mystery of redemption is wrapped up in the Eucharist.

#2 The Mass is often called the holy sacrifice of the Mass, but in what sense is it a sacrifice. The Mass does not just recall or symbolize Jesus’ death on the cross, it sacramentally makes present Christ’s redeeming sacrifice on Calvary.

#3 The Catholic Church believes that when the priest at Mass recites the words This is my body…This is my blood, the bread and wine on the altar are changed into Christ’s body and blood. The change is not a chemical one, but all the outward, sensible appearances of bread and wine remain.

#4 The Eucharist is the most important practice in Catholicism, as it is the source of Jesus’s presence. Jesus continues to be with us in the Eucharist even outside of Mass, and we should always try to spend time with him.
