3:32 | Part 3 of 5 | God does speak to us, though it’s not always as direct as we would like. In this third video of the “Why Mass?” series, we look at the central place of Scripture in the Catholic Mass. And how hearing God’s Word (the Bible) together helps us discern what God is saying and how to apply it to our lives, personally
and communally.

4:37 | Part 4 of 5 | In every Catholic church, the crucifix and altar point to the real gift Jesus offers us at Mass: "Himself!" In this fourth video of the “Why Mass?” series, we ponder the divine love revealed on the Cross and made available to us through the Last Supper. And how receiving such extraordinary love in the Eucharist can be transformative for ordinary us.
