Living the Mass the Other Six Days of the Week

As the National Eucharistic Revival continues, we reflect on the parts of the Mass and what each part is calling us to do and be the other six days of the week. Our inspiration is my book, Living the Mass: How One Hour a Week Can Change Your Life, co-authored by Fr. Dominic Grassi. Today, we look at the Rite of Peace and reflect on how it helps us to begin the work of living in peaceful relationships with our brothers and sisters, including even those we do not know and may never meet.

The Rite of Peace calls us to ensure that we are in right relationship with others and with God. How do you strive to put this into practice the other six days of the week?

To savor literally means to “give oneself to the enjoyment of.” It means to be mindful of that which you are eating and drinking – to unite body and mind in the present moment of tasting. I believe that we are […]

Real Presence in the Eucharist

Kathy Henry Liturgy and Sacraments

The subject of the Real Presence in the Eucharist came up during a lunchtime conversation. I am always a bit surprised to hear Catholics question what to me is a central tenet of our faith.
