Father Andy explains that faith is not a spectator sport and that it is in the Mass, in the presence of our Lord in the Eucharist, that we train for God’s army.
Fr. Chris Alar explains the importance of the Ascension of Jesus, the difference from the Assumption of Mary, and what the Holy Days of Obligation are all about.
Father Andy encourages us to see the Eucharist as the forge, where we are transformed and purified in His presence, and the launch pad, where we are sent forth to fight the battle for Christ’s army
Jesus said, “Where two or three gather together in my name, there I am in their midst.” The Mass is the only perfect form of prayer because only at the Mass are our prayers, which are stained with sin, united to the perfect prayers of Jesus to the Father. Join Fr. Chris Alar, MIC, for this first of three episodes as he walks us through the different parts of the Catholic Mass, learning why we say what we say and do what we do.
