I have just started reading this little book by Bolivian mystic Catalina on the Holy Mass. It is excellent and reminds me of the descriptions of the Mass by Saint John Crysostom. It is very beautiful, the only thing is it makes me feel very guilty for behaving so poorly at Mass. https://www.amazon.com/Revelations-Catalina-Holy-Mass-encounter/dp/B0FHDFKQGH In this book, Catalina reveals the spiritual dimension of the Holy Mass. Beyond what the eye can see, there is a mystical celebration that the Virgin Mary unveiled to this Bolivian mystic. From the host that mystically takes on the face of Christ, to the wine that becomes the image of the crucified Jesus, the Virgin Mary reveals the marvelous design of her Son’s love for humanity, which reaches its summit in the Holy Mass. Reading this book will transform the way you experience Mass— your participation will never be the same again.
Fr Dan Reehill got me interested in her. There are several videos on you tube about her revelations on the Mass. They are wonderful. Moving. Inspiring. And yes I too am sad that I have not always valued the Mass as I should.
The only thing about a lot of these Revelations is that they can be so challenging. They are so hard to live up to. But on the other hand if it makes us even a little better in how we behave during Mass it has to be good. What concerns me most here at the moment is lack of respect for Jesus in the Tabernacle. It is as if He were not there at all.
