Mini Story:
A collaboration of three remarkable Catholic figures, This is the Mass is a powerful visual and spiritual journey through the heart of the Catholic liturgy. Bishop Fulton J. Sheen, renowned for his oratory and devotion, guides readers through the sacred ritual, while legendary photographer Yousuf Karsh captures striking black-and-white images of the Mass in motion. Henri Daniel-Rops, acclaimed French historian and Catholic thinker, provides the reflective text. Together, they create an enduring testament to faith, reverence, and ritual.
