Understanding
the Mystery of the Mass
Expanded and Revised
to include
the New Translation of the Mass
| The mission of the Te Deum Foundation is rooted deeply in love for
the Eucharist. The Eucharist is indeed the source and summit of our
lives. The Eucharist is made manifest during the Holy Sacrifice of the
Mass through the alter Christus, the priest. The oft-quoted
saying is "no priest, no Mass, no Mass, no Eucharist, no Eucharist, no
salvation!" The Foundation works to assist those men in formation for
the priesthood in order to help them to the Altar of Our Lord to offer
us His Body and Blood. |

“Father Buettner’s new edition of the Understanding the Mystery
of the Mass Revisited is to be warmly welcomed. This book is clearly
the fruit of prayer and meditation. From the first page, Father
Buettner succeeds in making his reader aware of the sacredness of
what will take place during Mass. One fears at times that those
attending Mass see it as a social gathering, a duty imposed upon
them, a chore, a pure act of obedience to Church authorities,
totally failing to realize that it is the greatest gift that a
loving God could possibly grant to His sinful creatures. Si scires
donum Dei!!! The first task facing the author is therefore, to
create the “frame work” of sacredness, which his topic calls for.
From the very first lines of the book, he succeeds in achieving
this.” — Dr. Alice von Hildebrand
