Saint Vincent Ferrer's devout contemplation on the Mass is structured as a spiritual journey through the life of Christ, beginning with His Incarnation and culminating in His glorious Resurrection and Ascension. This journey is not merely a retelling of Gospel events; rather, it is a profound meditation on how these events are symbolically presented in the liturgical actions of the Mass.
 
Saint Vincent teaches us that the Mass is not only a ritual but a living and dynamic encounter with the life of Christ. It is through the Holy Sacrifice that the faithful are invited to participate in the divine mysteries unfolding before them. Saint Vincent will help readers better love and understand the Traditional Latin Mass, with its rich symbolism, mystical meaning, and solemnity.
 
This newly typeset edition, prepared by Priestly Press, features a beautiful English translation of Saint Vincent Ferrer's work with a Preface by Father Scott Haynes. In the Preface, Father Haynes writes:
 
"In this work, Saint Vincent leads us into a mystical meditation on the traditional Latin Mass, a liturgical rite which is not only a re-presentation of the all-sufficient sacrifice of Calvary[1] but also a comprehensive symbol of the entire life of Christ. By drawing deep connections between the various parts of the Mass and pivotal moments in Our Lord’s earthly life—from His Incarnation to His Resurrection—Saint Vincent invites the faithful into a deeper understanding of the mysteries of Christ, as they are embodied and made present in the Sacred Liturgy."
