Did you know that the Mass is a real sacrifice? That it’s not just something we get, but something we give? What are the fruits or effects of the Mass on us, the faithful?
There are many beautiful truths about the Mass that we don’t know (or forget), but Br. Michelangelo is here with Fr. Mark-Mary today to share and remind us of 4 of them:
- The Mass is a re-presentation of the sacrifice of Christ
- The Mass is something that we give, not just get
- We are all called to participate in the Mass
- The Mass is fruitful and effective for us
Meet Fr. Mark-Mary
Father Mark-Mary was ordained as a Franciscan Friar of the Renewal (CFR) in 2018 and lives at a friary in the Bronx.
The mission of the CFRs is to wholeheartedly embrace Jesus through fidelity to the Church and her Sacraments. Paired with their commitment to prayer, contemplation, and study of Sacred Scripture, the CFRs serve those around them, especially the poor, in the footsteps of Christ.
Discover beautiful music from the CFRs and Fr. Mark-Mary’s book Habits for Holiness: Small Steps for Spiritual Progress, both available from Ascension.
