Author and theologian David L. Gray joins me for a discussion on the liturgy. In this interview we discus the various parts of the Mass and the meaning behind them. We discuss how to prepare ourselves for the Liturgy, and what to do if we are not finding meaning in it. It is a very informative interview nd you will come away from it with a deeper appreciation and love for the Mass.

“The heavens open and multitudes of angels come to assist in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.” – St. Gregory the Great
