Living the Mass the Other Six Days of the Week

As we continue to 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 Prayer of the Faithful and reflect on how it helps us to begin the work of entrusting to God the needs of ourselves, others, the Church, and the world.

The Prayer of the Faithful reminds us to place our trust in God to respond to our needs. How do you strive to put this into practice the other six days of the week?

Check out my book, Living the Mass: How One Hour a Week Can Change Your Life, co-authored with Fr. Dominic Grassi. You might also like The Prayer List by Jane Knuth.

Savoring the Liturgy

Savoring seems to be a lost art in our fast-food culture. We usually associate the word savor with food or drink. We savor a delicious bite of food or a sip of good wine.

I believe that we are […]
