Fr. Chris Alar answers the most common question he’s received since the start of the coronavirus pandemic.
Jesus said we must “pray always without becoming weary” (Lk 18:1). But how can we truly pray without ceasing? The answer lies in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass — the most perfect and continuous prayer on earth. At every moment of every day, somewhere in the world, the Mass is being offered.
