#184 - Orient Yourself to the Mass

About this episode

Justin Hibbard discusses the importance of orienting oneself to the Mass and how it can transform one's perspective and interaction with it.

Justin Hibbard continues our series on the Mass by talking about what it means to orient ourselves to the Mass. For Catholics, Mass isn’t a worship service we attend. It’s core to who we are. Learn how preparation and perspective can totally change how we think about the Mass, how we interact with the Mass, and how Mass can transform us.
