Best-Selling Author, EWTN Icon, and Legendary Scripture Scholar Fr. Mitch Pacwa Reviews “The Mass in Sacred Scripture”
Catholic Apologist extraordinaire Father Mitch Pacwa, S.J., Ph.D., a popular Eternal World Television Network (EWTN) personality and host of numerous series, including EWTN Live, Threshold of Hope, and the Open Line radio program, has published the following review of, The Mass in Sacred Scripture:
“Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers begins this booklet with an informative overview of the stages of the English translation of the Mass and its relationship to the Second Vatican Council, the debate over principles of translation, and the relevance of both of these to the Catholic worship within the context of the Mass. This overview helps the reader understand that the changes in translations are not arbitrary whims of taste but are rooted in important principles that give insight into the next stage of integrating worship into the whole of Catholic life in the modern world. Then, the bulk of the book links each liturgical prayer with its Scriptural root, line-by-line, prayer-by-prayer. The average Catholic will benefit from bringing this booklet to periods of prayer and meditation in order to contemplate the Word of God as the verbal source of the liturgy, which itself is the source and summit of the whole Christian life (Vatican II, Sacrosanctum Concilium, 10; Lumen Gentium 11).”
