I came across this video on Facebook last night, via the , and I couldn’t help but share it here.
A lot of people think Mass is “boring” these days, even those who consider themselves “faithful Catholics.” To be perfectly honest with you all, I used to feel that way, and still struggle with the temptation to think so sometimes.
But after watching Chris Stefanick talk about the Mass here, I came to realize again that the Mass is a beautiful, sacred celebration — and it’s not meant to be “entertaining.” I love what it says in the YouTube description of the video:
The Catholic Mass is far more beautiful than mere human entertainment. It is an exchange of hearts: a giving and receiving, between God and man. Jesus gives His whole self to us in the Mass, and He thirsts for us to give ourselves back to Him.
Watch the video yourself below, with an open heart and mind:
Let’s pray for one another, especially our fellow Catholics, that we may truly be transformed by the Holy Mass, and that we may see how truly rich and blessed we are to be able to attend Mass regularly.
Let’s not take our freedom to worship for granted either, and keep our fellow Catholics who face religious persecution every day in our prayers and Mass intentions.
Lastly, let’s spread the word about how “the heart of the Mass is the heart of Jesus” — may we never, ever forget that… no matter how “boring” the Mass may seem to some.
God bless us all!

Hi! I came across a very powerful Documentary that shows the Meaning of the Eucharist in Daily Life. It is Called: “Remain with us,Lord”.
Synopsis:
What is the meaning of the Mass in my daily life?
How does the Mass strengthen me to accept the challenges and give thanks for the gifts that God places in my life?
How do I transmit to others the joy of my personal encounter with Jesus Christ in the Mass?
Remain with Us, Lord is an inspirational collection of personal stories and theological reflections on the importance of the Sacrifice of the Holy Mass in our spiritual lives as Christians and the peace and happiness we draw from it to live our lives close to Jesus Christ and to bring him to others.
In Remain with Us, Lord, Father Robert Barron, renowned theologian and author, explains:
“The Holy Mass “…is not an extraneous part of the spiritual life. It’s the heart of it. […] The Mass is remaining with Jesus, listening to him, responding to him, receiving this great meal which God has always wanted to give to us and then speaking back our thanksgiving for it. That’s the Mass and that’s why we live on the Mass. We require the Mass.”
Filmed in the United States and Ireland, the testimonies and reflections brought together in this special video will touch hearts and encourage reflection on the importance and meaning of the Mass in our own lives.
