Martin von Cochem · Published by TAN Books</p>\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 1.4rem; margin-top: 2rem;\">Overview</h3>\n<p style=\"font-size: 1.15rem; line-height: 1.6;\">Every single time the Holy Sacrifice of the Altar is celebrated, an event of infinite majesty takes place right before our eyes—yet so many Catholics sit in the pews entirely blind to its supernatural reality. We struggle with distractions, view the liturgy as a mere social gathering, or forget that the Mass is a literal, unbloody representation of Christ's sacrifice on Calvary. If we truly understood the staggering spiritual riches poured out at every Consecration, we would crawl on hands and knees just to attend one more Mass.</p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 1.15rem; line-height: 1.6;\">In <strong>The Incredible Catholic Mass</strong>, the venerable Fr. Martin von Cochem delivers an unmatched, profoundly illuminating explanation of the Eucharistic liturgy. Drawing seamlessly upon Sacred Scripture, strict dogmatic theology, and the ecstatic private revelations of the saints, Fr. Cochem strips away the veil hanging between heaven and earth. He systematically demonstrates why the Mass is the highest possible form of prayer, adoration, penance, and thanksgiving available to humanity. Written with the traditional Latin Mass as its structural paradigm, its deep mystical principles apply universally to the essence of the Holy Sacrifice, changing forever how you enter the doors of a Catholic church.</p>\n<ul style=\"margin: 1.5rem 0; padding-left: 1.25rem; font-size: 1.15rem; line-height: 1.6;\">\n<li><strong>The Infinite Value:</strong> Discover why a single Holy Mass possesses more spiritual merit and pleasing adoration to God than all the private prayers and severe penances of the saints combined.</li>\n<li><strong>Angelic Intercession:</strong> Learn how choirs of invisible angels descend in trembling adoration around the priest during the Consecration to carry your personal intentions to the throne of God.</li>\n<li><strong>The Power of Reparation:</strong> Understand how actively offering the Mass safely satisfies the temporal punishment due to your sins, offering a direct path of purgatorial cleansing while still on earth.</li>\n<li><strong>Fruits for the Deceased:</strong> Explore the profound canonical and mystical reality of how the Holy Sacrifice brings immediate, cooling relief and swift release to the Poor Souls suffering in Purgatory.</li>\n<li><strong>Active Interior Participation:</strong> Move beyond superficial, external behaviors and learn how to align your heart, mind, and soul with the Paschal Mystery being enacted upon the altar.</li>\n</ul>\n<div style=\"background: #fdfcf0; border: 1px solid #d4af37; padding: 1.25rem; margin: 1.5rem 0; border-radius: 4px;\">\n<p style=\"font-size: 1.1rem; color: #870000; margin-bottom: 0.5rem;\"><strong>What Traditional Treasures Await You Inside:</strong></p>\n<ul style=\"margin: 0; padding-left: 1.25rem; font-size: 1.05rem; line-height: 1.5;\">\n<li><strong>Theology Made Luminous:</strong> Complicated concepts regarding transubstantiation and Christ’s eternal high priesthood are explained in simple, moving, and beautifully pious prose.</li>\n<li><strong>Clergy and Laity Resource:</strong> An invaluable tool for priests looking to renew their liturgical zeal and for lay Catholics seeking to banish routine tepidity from their Sunday obligation.</li>\n<li><strong>A Defense of Reverence:</strong> Reclaims the unyielding historical truth that the Mass is first and foremost a propitiatory *sacrifice* rather than a sentimental community meal.</li>\n</ul>\n</div>\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 1.4rem; margin-top: 2rem;\">Intended Audience</h3>\n<p style=\"font-size: 1.15rem; line-height: 1.6;\">This masterpiece is perfectly designed for any practicing Catholic (ages 15 and up) who wants to thoroughly shatter distractions and lukewarmness during worship. It is an incomparable text for individuals going through RCIA/OCIA, youth preparing for Confirmation, seminarians studying the liturgy, and any believer desiring to unlock an unshakeable, lifelong devotion to the Most Blessed Sacrament.</p>\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 1.4rem; margin-top: 2rem;\">FAQs</h3>\n<p style=\"font-size: 1.15rem; line-height: 1.6;\"><strong>Is this book only relevant if I attend the Traditional Latin Mass?</strong><br />No. While Fr. Cochem writes during an era where the traditional Latin rubrics were universal, he focuses entirely on the *essence* of the Mass—the sacrifice, the consecration, and the supernatural reality of Christ’s body and blood. Its truths apply beautifully to and will enrich your participation in any valid Catholic rite.</p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 1.15rem; line-height: 1.6;\"><strong>Who was the author, Fr. Martin von Cochem?</strong><br />Fr. Martin von Cochem (1634–1712) was a holy German Capuchin Franciscan priest, theologian, and highly successful missionary preacher. He was renowned for his ability to translate the highest concepts of ascetical and dogmatic theology into deeply engaging, accessible, and life-changing books for the everyday lay faithful.</p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 1.15rem; line-height: 1.6;\"><strong>Can I use this book as a guide for making better Holy Hours?</strong><br />Yes, seamlessly. The chapters are short, inspiring, and completely saturated with the wisdom of the saints, making them perfect to read and meditate upon during Eucharistic Adoration or right before attending Holy Mass.</p>\n<div style=\"background: #fafafa; border: 1px solid #E2E2E2; padding: 1.5rem; margin-top: 2rem;\">\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 1.25rem; margin: 0 0 .5rem;\">Key Themes</h3>\n<ul style=\"margin: 0; padding-left: 1.25rem; font-size: 1.15rem; line-height: 1.5;\">\n<li><strong>The Eucharistic Sacrifice:</strong> Anchoring the soul in the unbloody re-presentation of the Crucifixion on Calvary.</li>\n<li><strong>The Wealth of Grace:</strong> Unveiling the metric of infinite merits applied to those who attend Mass devoutly.</li>\n<li><strong>Apostolic Continuity:</strong> Discovering the scriptural, patristic, and saintly consensus surrounding the beauty of the altar.</li>\n<li><strong>Liturgical Wonder:</strong> Reviving a holy fear of God and childlike awe before the real, physical presence of Jesus Christ.</li>\n</ul>\n</div>\n</section>","show_backorder_message":false,"tags":[],"warranty":"","price":{"without_tax":{"formatted":"$5.00","value":5,"currency":"USD"},"tax_label":"Tax","sale_price_without_tax":{"formatted":"$5.00","value":5,"currency":"USD"},"non_sale_price_without_tax":{"formatted":"$27.95","value":27.95,"currency":"USD"},"rrp_without_tax":{"formatted":"$27.95","value":27.95,"currency":"USD"},"saved":{"formatted":"$22.95","value":22.95,"currency":"USD"}},"detail_messages":"","availability":"","page_title":"The Incredible Catholic Mass: An Explanation of the Catholic Mass","default_shipping_expectation_prompt":"","height":"8.50","cart_url":"https://tanbooks.com/cart.php","show_backorder_availability_prompt":false,"max_purchase_quantity":0,"show_quantity_on_hand":false,"show_default_shipping_expectation_prompt":false,"show_quantity_on_backorder":false,"mpn":null,"upc":"9780895556080","options":[{"id":4766,"type":"Configurable_PickList_Set","display_name":"Format","required":true,"state":"variant_option","partial":"set-rectangle","condition":true,"values":[{"id":9377,"label":"Paperbound","selected":true,"data":"Paperbound"},{"id":9378,"label":"eBook","selected":false,"data":"eBook"},{"id":9379,"label":"Audiobook","selected":false,"data":"Audiobook"}]}],"related_products":[{"id":2773,"sku":"TE3112","name":"The Incredible Catholic Mass (eBook)","url":"https://tanbooks.com/products/books/the-incredible-catholic-mass-ebook/","availability":"","rating":0,"brand":null,"category":["Books/Topic/Latin Mass","eBooks","Sales/Monthly Promotions/Latin Mass"],"summary":"Here is a book that is a product of our rich Catholic heritage, one that is destined to instruct both our modern times and the future.

The Incredible Catholic Mass: An Explanation of the Catholic Mass
The Incredible Catholic Mass: An Explanation of the Catholic Mass
By Fr. Martin von Cochem · Published by TAN Books
Overview
Every single time the Holy Sacrifice of the Altar is celebrated, an event of infinite majesty takes place right before our eyes—yet so many Catholics sit in the pews entirely blind to its supernatural reality. We struggle with distractions, view the liturgy as a mere social gathering, or forget that the Mass is a literal, unbloody representation of Christ's sacrifice on Calvary. If we truly understood the staggering spiritual riches poured out at every Consecration, we would crawl on hands and knees just to attend one more Mass.
In The Incredible Catholic Mass, the venerable Fr. Martin von Cochem delivers an unmatched, profoundly illuminating explanation of the Eucharistic liturgy. Drawing seamlessly upon Sacred Scripture, strict dogmatic theology, and the ecstatic private revelations of the saints, Fr. Cochem strips away the veil hanging between heaven and earth. He systematically demonstrates why the Mass is the highest possible form of prayer, adoration, penance, and thanksgiving available to humanity. Written with the traditional Latin Mass as its structural paradigm, its deep mystical principles apply universally to the essence of the Holy Sacrifice, changing forever how you enter the doors of a Catholic church.
The Infinite Value: Discover why a single Holy Mass possesses more spiritual merit and pleasing adoration to God than all the private prayers and severe penances of the saints combined.
Angelic Intercession: Learn how choirs of invisible angels descend in trembling adoration around the priest during the Consecration to carry your personal intentions to the throne of God.
The Power of Reparation: Understand how actively offering the Mass safely satisfies the temporal punishment due to your sins, offering a direct path of purgatorial cleansing while still on earth.
Fruits for the Deceased: Explore the profound canonical and mystical reality of how the Holy Sacrifice brings immediate, cooling relief and swift release to the Poor Souls suffering in Purgatory.
Active Interior Participation: Move beyond superficial, external behaviors and learn how to align your heart, mind, and soul with the Paschal Mystery being enacted upon the altar.
What Traditional Treasures Await You Inside:
Theology Made Luminous: Complicated concepts regarding transubstantiation and Christ’s eternal high priesthood are explained in simple, moving, and beautifully pious prose.
Clergy and Laity Resource: An invaluable tool for priests looking to renew their liturgical zeal and for lay Catholics seeking to banish routine tepidity from their Sunday obligation.
A Defense of Reverence: Reclaims the unyielding historical truth that the Mass is first and foremost a propitiatory *sacrifice* rather than a sentimental community meal.
Intended Audience
This masterpiece is perfectly designed for any practicing Catholic (ages 15 and up) who wants to thoroughly shatter distractions and lukewarmness during worship. It is an incomparable text for individuals going through RCIA/OCIA, youth preparing for Confirmation, seminarians studying the liturgy, and any believer desiring to unlock an unshakeable, lifelong devotion to the Most Blessed Sacrament.
FAQs
Is this book only relevant if I attend the Traditional Latin Mass? No. While Fr. Cochem writes during an era where the traditional Latin rubrics were universal, he focuses entirely on the *essence* of the Mass—the sacrifice, the consecration, and the supernatural reality of Christ’s body and blood. Its truths apply beautifully to and will enrich your participation in any valid Catholic rite.
Who was the author, Fr. Martin von Cochem? Fr. Martin von Cochem (1634–1712) was a holy German Capuchin Franciscan priest, theologian, and highly successful missionary preacher. He was renowned for his ability to translate the highest concepts of ascetical and dogmatic theology into deeply engaging, accessible, and life-changing books for the everyday lay faithful.
Can I use this book as a guide for making better Holy Hours? Yes, seamlessly. The chapters are short, inspiring, and completely saturated with the wisdom of the saints, making them perfect to read and meditate upon during Eucharistic Adoration or right before attending Holy Mass.
