The Hidden Treasure: Holy Mass

The Hidden Treasure: Holy Mass

by St. Leonard of Port Maurice

Book Description: This book describes the great spiritual power of the Mass, how it holds back the wrath of God, its wonderful eternal and temporal benefits, and several excellent ways to pray at Mass. Hidden Treasure is the prototype book on the Mass for all other books on the same subject; others basically repeat what this small book contains.
