This work comes in three parts. The first part is devoted to the
prayers of the Mass. At the end of this section is a striking
miracle of the Holy Eucharist. The second part is devoted to the
ceremonies of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, according to the
Tridentine Rite. This is very useful for any priest who wishes to
devoutly celebrate the Mass. This even includes instructions for
when a priest should put his spectacles (glasses) on to read from
the Missal and when to remove them. The last section contains
prayers of preparation for Mass and in thanksgiving after Mass. In
the preface we read: "These different writings give evidence of the
zeal that animated our venerated author in regard to the divine
Sacrifice on our altars. From his childhood he was admired for the
tender devotion with which he attended Mass, received Communion, or
spent his time in adoring the messed Sacrament. This virtue only
grew and became more perfect as he advanced in age. Even in the
midst of the world, notwithstanding the occupations and the cares
of the profession which he at first embraced, he went every day to
visit his dear Lord exposed in one of the churches of Naples, and
there on his knees and immovable, he spent long hours before the
altar, contemplating the object of his affection with so humble and
so recollected an attitude, that he appeared to be out of himself;
all persons that saw him were profoundly edified. Such piety was to
receive its reward; for thus we read in his writings: .. I feel
myself bound, at least out of gratitude to my Jesus in the Holy
Sacrament, to declare that by means of this devotion of visiting
the Most Blessed Sacrament, which I practised, though with so much
tepidity and in so imperfect a manner, I abandoned the world, in
which, unfortunately. I lived until six. and-twenty years of age.""
Saint Alphonsus makes an interesting prophesy: "And this offering
which our Lord then made of himself did not limit itself to that
moment, but it only then began; it always has continued since, and
it will continue forever. It is true it will cease on earth at the
time of Antichrist: the Sacrifice of the Mass is to be suspended
for twelve hundred and ninety days; that is, for three years six
months and a half, according to the prophecy of Daniel: And from
the time when the continual sacrifice shall be taken away, and the
abomination unto desolation shall be set up, there shall be a
thousand two hundred ninety days.' Yet the Sacrifice of Jesus
Christ will never cease, since the Son of God will always continue
to offer himself to his Father by an eternal sacrifice, for he
himself is the priest and the victim, but ao eternal victim and an
eternal priest, not according to the order of Aaron."
