The Spirituality of the Mass and the Eucharist - Part 1
Description
This talk is the first part of a two-part consideration of the spirituality of the Mass and Holy Eucharist. Our primary text for discussion of the Mass is the 20th century classic Meditations Before Mass by Father Romano Guardini, servant of God. Guardini is a favorite author of both Pope Benedict and Pope Francis, among many others. This talk focuses especially on the following sections:
2. I - Stillness
2.XVIII - The Congregation and the Church
3. XXIV - The Memorial of the New Covenant
3.XXVIII - Christ's Offering of Self
3.XXXI - The Mass of the New Covenant
By way of a catechetical refresher on the Mass, here is a video to watch: https://www.goodcatholic.com/catholic-mass-described-by-st-justin-martyr/
The music in the introduction and close of this podcast is provided by George Sarah.
