This book examines the clarion call of the Second Vatican Council for the faithful to learn to offer themselves at Mass, led by 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.
Due to the nature of this book and the consequences the author would inevitably face in revealing his identity, the writer has remained anonymous for over sixty years. It is thought that much of the material that this book comprises came from Bishop Johannes Neuhusler, the auxiliary bishop of Munich, and was ordered to be published by Pope Pius XII himself.
