Living the Mass the Other Six Days of the Week

As we journey through the National Eucharistic Revival, we are reflecting on the parts of the Mass and what each part is calling us to do and be the other six days of the week. In this episode, we look at the Liturgy of the Word and how the Scripture readings invite us to reshape the narrative of our lives and of the world from one of loss, brokenness, and fear to one of rescue, restoration, and reassurance.

Be sure to check out my book, Living the Mass: How One Hour a Week Can Change Your Life, co-authored with Fr. Dominic Grassi. Likewise, check out this video compilation of Pop-Up Catechesis episodes in which we do a Walk Through the Mass and this webinar I did with Fr. Grassi on Living the Mass.
