Description
Bestselling author, speaker, editor, and media personality Bert Ghezzi has been a leading figure in American Catholic life for more than forty years. In The Power of Daily Mass, he reveals how the Eucharist is the center of his daily life and calls him to witness the Real Presence of Christ to others in his work and relationships. Ghezzi shows how frequent participation in the Mass offers participants courage and hope to face everyday challenges, provides direction and encouragement through the scriptures, allows time to reflect and talk to the Lord, and is an opportunity to intercede for family and friends.
With quotations from saints and testimonies from fellow daily Mass attendees, Ghezzi encourages Catholics to grow closer to Jesus and receive Christ’s power for daily Christian living through the Eucharist. Ghezzi highlights how more frequent participation in weekday Mass is a wonderful way to grow in love for the Lord and receive the guidance for living that can only come from scripture and the Eucharist.
Advance Praise
“This book is not just for those who don't yet go to daily Mass, but also for those who do. It reveals how powerful and relevant each Mass is for our lives, and will inspire and challenge you to really make the Eucharist your ‘daily bread.’”
Vinny Flynn
Author of 7 Secrets of the Eucharist
“Bert Ghezzi invites us to celebrate the blessings of daily Mass. He shows how the various parts of the Mass, culminating in the reception of the Eucharist, contain a rainbow of reasons why daily Mass is so valuable. Ample use of quotations from Church fathers, theologians, saints, and daily Mass attendees add vibrancy to his words. I highly recommend this book to Catholics looking for a guide to live a holy life.”
Rev. Robert J. Hater
Author of Common Sense Catechetics
”Bert Ghezzi does a masterful job of telling Catholics about The Power of Daily Mass. He is thorough, helping readers to remember the power of the Eucharist, and the need to take time after Mass to contemplate on the goodness of God. This book will help anyone who wants to understand both the Mass and the Catholic Church. Don’t overlook the appendices.”

Janet P, Reviewer
So many people who are devout Catholics go to Mass only on Sundays, but there have always been folks who go to Mass daily. I can often remember a friend or family member saying with admiration "He went to Mass daily."
The benefits of daily Mass are ones that the author has seen for himself. He wrote this book to share the benefits of daily Mass with others.
But this little book is more.
It shows you the structure and benefits of Mass, of the Church's year, and of the Saints. That will help you, even if you never go to a weekday Mass.
The appendices are a wonderful resource saw well. They have prayers for before and after Mass and the calendar of saints days.
With quotations from theologians, Fathers of the Church, Church documents and fellow Mass goers, this is a insightful book.

If someone is Catholic, surely they know the Mass . . . No, not really. This prayer can never be exhausted. As a consecrated religious I have prayed this prayer every day since I was 14 years old and reading The Power of Daily Mass unlocked more mystery and stirred more of my soul. I have recommended this to everyone I know - and now it includes you. Treat your soul!
