Servant Books, 2011. 128 pages, $13.99 paperback

The Mass may seem routine, and it may be the common property of a billion Catholics, but much lies beneath.

Aquilina not only answers practical questions about this central act of worship, but he also walks the reader through the Mass, explaining the meaning behind the prayers and practices. He answers questions like: What is the Real Presence? What are the Jewish roots of the Mass? Why is the Mass a sacrifice? Why does the priest add a drop of water to the wine?
