Mass at the Edge of Morning

Mass at the Edge of Morning is a poetic meditation on the Eucharist. It takes the form of a prayer and follows the Holy Mass from beginning to end. At the same time it delves into the nature of faith, the merciful presence of God, the supreme value ofsacrifice, the healing of a wounded world,the mirroring in time of eternity. As the poet Ricardo M. de Ungria puts it, the poem is “magnificently traditional in formand is not only religious and Christian but mystical as well.”
