Lent: The Lamb's Supper

The St. Juan Diego Reading group will be reading Dr. Scott Hahn's book, "The Lamb's Supper" during lent. One way we can "Live the Eucharist" is to spend time reflecting more deeply on the Mass and the Eucharist with Dr. Hahn's book. Deacon Paolo said this book is one of the reference books for Eucharistic Theology class at Mt. Angel Seminary. But don't let that scare you off, for as the book description says, the book is:

Beautifully written, in clear direct language, bestselling Catholic author Scott Hahn's new book will help readers see the Mass with new eyes, pray the liturgy with a renewed heart, and enter into the Mass more fully, enthusiastically, intelligently, and powerfully than ever before.

The following comes from the book description @ www.amazon.com

Of all things Catholic, there is nothing that is so familiar as the Mass. With its unchanging prayers, the Mass fits Catholics like their favorite clothes. Yet most Catholics sitting in the pews on Sundays fail to see the powerful supernatural drama that enfolds them. Pope John Paul II described the Mass as "Heaven on Earth," explaining that what "we celebrate on Earth is a mysterious participation in the heavenly liturgy."

The Lamb’s Supper reveals a long-lost secret of the Church: The early Christians' key to understanding the mysteries of the Mass was the New Testament Book of Revelation. With its bizarre imagery, its mystic visions of heaven, and its end-of-time prophecies, Revelation mirrors the sacrifice and celebration of the Eucharist.
