DeKalb County Catholic

Tune in for today's episode on the sacraments, where we learn what the sacraments are, their institution in scripture, and how they point back to Christ. We explore concepts of Christ's mediation, Christ as the prime minister of the sacraments, and the mystical body of Christ. Come learn how these channels of grace are medicine for the soul.  

On today’s episode, we approach the end of the mass, where we are sent. Following communion, we have a period of silence, maybe some announcements (which Father Tom admits he needs to shorten!), and then the sending. Tune in, find out why we pray the prayer to Saint Michael and sometimes the Marian antiphons at the end of mass. 

On today’s episode, we trace back from the beginning of mass, moving into the communion rite at mass, beginning with exploring the Our Father prayer. The Fathers share great insights into prayers during the rite, and wonderful remarks about the reception of communion on the hand/tongue.

Join us on today's episode, where we further expound on the Liturgy of the Eucharist. We explore the different Eucharistic prayers, history, the saints mentioned in those prayers, and the many references to scripture. This is an enlightening episode, where we also learn the meaning of terms such as epiclesis, anamnesis, and exsanguination!

In today’s episode, we move from the Liturgy of the Word to the Liturgy of the Eucharist. We’ll discuss the symbolism in active participation, the offertory, the focus towards the altar, history of the liturgy, and a meditation on the bread and wine. You don’t want to miss this very enlightening episode!

On today's episode, we continue our run-through of the mass. We travel from the Collect into the Liturgy Of The Word (LOTW). How does the ambo proclaim the Gospel in its structure? What is the importance of silence/quieting our minds in the LOTW? How do we pray through the scriptures? We will also discuss how the readings are setup, the importance of singing, the homily, and the Creed.

What happens during the beginning of the Mass? What are "Introductory Rights"? Listen and explore as the priests continue their mini-series on the Mass by diving deeper into its spiritual dimensions and the meaning behind its different parts.

Do you feel like you don't get anything out of Mass? In their newest series on the Mass, the three priests of DeKalb County discuss how we are supposed to view the Mass as more than just our experience—the Mass is communal, it is powerful, and it is worship.
