In this book, the author approaches the question of the Holy Mass (Eucharist) by a triadic system; Sacred Scriptures, the catechesis of Pope Francis on the Eucharist, and the voices of the most contemporary theological American minds. Even though there are many excellent works on the Eucharist from biblical times, through the Middle Ages to our time, Odeyemi's language, style, and theological approach gives a fresh way into approaching these great gift. According to the author, at the very heart of the Church's understanding of the Mass is that it points us to heaven and draws heaven down to the world, a prelude to the banquet of life that is promised. Odeyemi pays particular attention to situating the actions that takes place at the celebration of the Mass, from the beginning to the end within the framework of their biblical understanding, especially from the Old Testament. This is not just another book on the Holy Mass, it a book about the beauty, sanctity and grace of the sacrament which is also known as 'the bread of life' and 'food for the journey.
