In today’s episode I revisit the topic of the Eucharist. Members of my own family have shown a disinterest in going to mass at times, saying they feel God’s presence more when hunting or fishing or when they attend other churches worship services.

I want to explain how worship is not based on feelings, it’s based on relations. How is God calling us to worship and what does that look like from a biblical and Catholic viewpoint?

In today’s episode I talk about the role of the pope as head of the Catholic Church. We remember Pope Francis, who passed away this Easter.

Eternal rest grant unto Pope Francis, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon him.
May the souls of all the faithful departed,
through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
~Amen
