Vandeur's The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass serves as an important testament to the grandeur and magnificence of the Mass. In the modern era, marked by an increasing trend of secularisation and heightened participation of the laity in the Mass, this profound meditation proves vital for the clergy and faithful throughout the Catholic Church. As it elucidates the splendour, glory, and thanksgiving inherent in this sacred rite, it also delves into the mystical beauty underpinning the themes of forgiveness and mercy within the Holy Mass, imparted by Our Lord.

The text is structured in concise chapters, each devoted to an examination of select liturgical phrases. Whether you wish to bring this book along as a companion to Mass or meditate upon the various aspects of Holy Sacrifice at some other time, Vandeur's work will help you to ascend the Ladder of Sanctity, from the first step, 'In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost', to the last, 'And the Word Was Made Flesh'.
