How Deep the Mystery

Rooted in Sacred Scripture, the words of the Mass are a wellspring for prayer, meditation, and contemplation. Reflecting more deeply on these liturgical texts provides the opportunity to enrich our experience of the Mass. In How Deep the Mystery, Sr. Joyce invites us to explore some of the common prayers we pray at Mass. She provides a structure that any reader can easily adapt for use with favorite texts from the Mass. This resource includes the following for each common prayer chosen:



• The official text from The Roman Missal



• Sr. Joyce’s reflection to help guide your personal reflection



• Two or three statements/questions to help facilitate your meditation and journaling



• A closing prayer
