St. Justin Martyr's writings

[hoser]

I was hoping that someone could help me locate some of St. Justin Martyr’s writing describing the Mass during his time. I am not looking for just quotes. I would prefer a link to a page of his writings and an explanation as to where in his writings does he talk about the Mass.

Thank you,

Try his First Apology, found here:

newadvent.org/fathers/0126.htm

Especially paragraphs 65 to 67.

I second that,

In printed form, that’d be Apologia I, 1xv-1xvi (what ever that means). He says things like: “This food is called Eucharist with us, and only those are allowed to partake who believe int the truth of our teaching…” and “…the food…is…the flesh and blood of Jesus who was made flesh.” Justin has a fondness for saying things like “we believe” and making little side-notes in the midst of his sentences, so I used a lot of ellipses.
I got this out of “The Early Christian Fathers,” Henry Bettenson, Oxford: 1956. But there are numerous books on the Fathers–Justin whom I find most intriguing and most inspiring.
However, as a fairly concise, easy-to-read introduction, I’d recommend an Evangelical based publication called “Shepard’s Notes Christian Classics: The Writings of Justin Martyr.” It’s sort of a small ‘study-guide’ which actually packs a lot of good info. Justin’s belief in the Eucharist is not glossed over, but expounded upon.

Thanks for your responses. That is what I am looking for.
