In this collection of essays, popular writer and teacher Father Charles Miller paints a vivid picture of Catholic faith life--what it means to be Catholic, and the many ways we live out our Catholic faith. "The first thing I wanted to do in writing this book," he says, "was to emphasize the celebration of Mass on Sunday as essential to being a Catholic...From it flowed an account of my own personal reason for being a Catholic." To sum up his thoughts on the importance of Mass, he states, "The real question is not why go to Mass, 'but why not?' " From the Mass, Fr. Miller goes on to treat a variety of topics that all play a role in Catholic faith: the rosary, devotions, the communion of saints, Penance, Mary, the liturgy, and even dissent. Unabashedly personal, humorous, upbeat, and informative, Fr. Miller's reflections will appeal to all--young and old, seasoned Catholics or newcomers to the faith. Highlights: --wonderful way to reinforce one's faith --enjoyable reading --Fr. Miller is a popular author
