Monsignor Gatto said in his homily that he saw on EWTN the BEST exposition (systematic explanation) of the Book of Revelation that he'd ever heard. Better even than the courses he took in seminary! The BEST because the program clearly explained how many of the unusual and mysterious references in Revelation are actually descriptions of the Holy Mass. What a fascinating opportunity for us to understand Sacred Scripture and love more the Holy Mass.
The EWTN program Monsignor enjoyed so much and recommends to us is...
... The Lamb's Supper - a presentation by Catholic biblical scholar Dr. Scott Hahn and Catholic author Mike Acquilina from Dr. Hahn's book of the same title. And lucky you, even if you didn't catch the show on EWTN, you can listen to the audio version.
Mike Acquilina also co-authored with Donald Cardinal Wuerl the new book, The Mass - The Glory, the Mystery, the Tradition. The book is a great refresher on the elements Mass and includes the translations from the New Roman Missal. The more you read and reflect on the Mass the more you can understand that it is indeed Heaven on Earth!
A last word from St. Padre Pio, "The world could exist more easily without the sun than without the Mass."
