The Pocket Guide to the Mass

Dr.

Ted Sri's guide offers a clear, accessible explanation of the Mass's theological foundations, gestures, prayers, and biblical roots to help readers engage more fully.

It outlines why Catholics attend Mass, how each of the four main parts draws believers closer to God, and practical ways to prepare the heart for worship.

The book includes the complete Order of the Mass with explanations for each gesture and prayer, aiming to transform routine attendance into a deeper encounter with Christ.

Designed for newcomers, returning Catholics, and long-time attendees, it pairs concise teaching with pastoral insight to foster reverent participation.

The guide is part of Ascension's Pocket Guide series and is intended for carrying to Mass as a quick reference.
