The Wonders of the Mass


Paul O'Sullivan - 1963
    Father O'Sullivan tells of the countless Angels present at Mass and of miracles that have taken place at Mass; he also describes the Mass as said by Pope Leo XIII, Priests as "The Happiest of Men," Priests as “Angels on Earth," The Benefits of the Mass, and How a Protestant was converted by the Mass; plus, he tells of severe punishments from Heaven on Catholics who missed Sunday Mass. To help us obtain the greatest possible benefits from this inexhaustible spiritual treasury, Fr. O'Sullivan explains how to assist at Mass well. Indeed, there is nothing better that we can do with our time, for "All the labors and works of a day or a week or a whole year are nothing in comparison with the value of one Mass.” Thus this little book reveals one of the greatest secrets in the whole universe: There is nothing else on earth equal to the Mass—and nothing greater in all of Heaven.

The Strong and the Weak


Paul Tournier - 1963
    He sees that the pervading fear from which the spiritual recession of our time has come can be overcome not by automatic reactions but through Christian understanding. Dr. Tournier writes not only to bring some hope to the weak but also to benefit the strong, who feel vaguely that the victories they must constantly be trying to win sustain the atmosphere of violence, nervous tension, and threat of catastrophe under which we live in the modern world.
