Fr. Barry and J.D. continue their exploration (and explication?) of a solid Catholic understanding of worship. Why do we "have to go" to Mass? How can we participate fully, actively, and consciously in the liturgy so that worship is a transformative experience instead of a repetitive responsibility? We hope this episode will have you thinking about Mass in a new way and attending Mass with a new sense of awe!

So many people spend their lives trying to fill the hole of emptiness inside us. Fr. Barry and J.D. reflect on the concept of the church as a family and the communal experience of attending Mass. Worship is discussed as a relationship with God rather than just an activity, and prioritizing this relationship is emphasized. The concept of idolatry is explored, highlighting how prioritizing work or other things over God can negatively impact our lives.
