"The first theologian in modern times to discover to our wonder and
joy the fully sacramental character of the Mass was, doubtless,
that profound and personal thinker, Abbot Vonier." - Fr. W. Barden,
O.P.
In his greatest, and most influential masterpiece, Abbot Vonier
gives a spiritually and intellectually enriching explanation of the
Eucharist based on a careful study of "the great sacramental
doctrine of the Church" found in the teachings of St. Thomas
Aquinas and the Council of Trent. Vonier writes, "To conceive the
sacrifice of Mass as a sacrament is a simple visualization of a
great truth which, if it be once grasped by the mind ... makes all
the difference between light and fantasy." The great beauty and
intellectual clarity of the Church's theology as explained by
Vonier reminds the reader over and over that "In theological
matters the spark that illumines always comes from under the hoof
of strict reasoning."
