Description: Fulton J. Sheen. CALVARY AND THE MASS. Chicago: Biretta Books, 2014. 9″ x 6″, 38-page softcover in Brand New condition. Originally published in 1936, in the days of the traditional Latin liturgy, this classic by Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen offers sublime meditations on the relationship between Calvary and the Mass. The meditations are arranged in seven sections. Each section of the Mass is paired with one of the seven last utterences or “words” of Christ from the cross. As Sheen, now proclaimed Venerable, wrote in the Prologue: Everyone else who was ever born into the world came into it to live; our Lord came into it to die. Death was a stumbling block to the life of Socrates, but it was the crown to the life of Christ. He Himself told us that He came “to give his life as the redemption for many”; that no one could take away His life; but He would lay it down of Himself. Under Archbishop Sheen s brilliant guidance, we see the Mass in its true light, as the crowning act of Christian worship. It is the commemoration, the reenactment, the perpetuation of the Divine Sacrifice. In Calvary and the Mass Archbishop Sheen not only gives a clearer, fuller meaning to the celebration, but also reveals a pattern of faith by which we may direct our lives to a higher fulfillment, embracing the example set by Christ in His own self-sacrifice.
