In this collection of essays, popular writer and teacher Father Charles Miller paints a vivid picture of Catholic faith life–what it means to be Catholic, and the many ways we live out our Catholic faith. The first thing I wanted to do in writing this book, he says, was to emphasize the celebration of Mass on Sunday as essential to being a Catholic…From it flowed an account of my own personal reason for being a Catholic. To sum up his thoughts on the importance of Mass, he states, The real question is not why go to Mass, ‘but why not?’
From the Mass, Fr. Miller goes on to treat a variety of topics that all play a role in Catholic faith: the rosary, devotions, the communion of saints, Penance, Mary, the liturgy, and even dissent. Unabashedly personal, humorous, upbeat, and informative, Fr. Miller’s reflections will appeal to all–young and old, seasoned Catholics or newcomers to the faith.
