On this episode we speak with Fr. Connor Danstrom about his recent article titled, "The Eucharistic Five-Step: What to Do During Your Eucharistic Holy Hour."

Father Connor Danstrom is a priest of the Archdiocese of Chicago and currently serves on the faculty of Mundelein Seminary-University of St. Mary of the Lake, IL.

In the first installment of this series, I noted that, along with the standardization effected by the adoption of the Ordo Missae according to the Roman curia, the variety of liturgical uses for dioceses and religious orders continued in the later medieval period. Calls for greater liturgical unification were heard already before the Protestant Reformation. For instance, in 1513, two hermits of Camaldoli, Paolo Giustiniani and Pietro Quirini, made an appeal to Pope Leo X for Church reform, which included the plea for a unified celebration of the Mass and other rites.

Father Justin Kizewski provides a template for understanding the complex relationship between the Old Testament Temple and Mary as the Temple of the paschal Lamb who is Christ.

How much eternity can we fit into 3,600 seconds? Father Connor Danstrom can count on one hand a host of ways to make your next Holy Hour count during a visit before the Eucharist.

The powerful rituals that commemorate patriotic sacrifice at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, writes Norbertine Father Joseph Herman Johanneck, also provide vital insights into the sacrifice of the liturgy.
