In this bonus episode, Father Anthony and Sister Catherine address two questions posed in our Growing in Holiness Newsletter. We hope that our discussion will encourage families to do the same.

The first question: Would you rather have been present when Christ instituted the Sacrament of Holy Eucharist the night before He died or when He instituted the Sacrament of Penance after His Resurrection?

The second question: Would you rather be Simon of Cyrene, who was forced to help carry Jesus' heavy Cross, or Saint Veronica, who bravely wiped Jesus' face?

Father Anthony and Sister Catherine continue their discussion in the Know the Mass series about the two parts of the Mass: the Mass of the Catechumens and the Mass of the Faithful.
