The Great Religious Imperative of Our Time

This book examines the clarion call of the Second Vatican Council for the faithful to learn to offer themselves at Mass, led by the the Church's pastors who were given a mandate to practice, teach, and promote this. The author sees the Council's call for what he terms "Eucharistic Self-Offering" (ESO) as the most meaningful sign of our times that points the way to bring Christ's saving work to completion.
