In this episode of the Gotta Be Saints Podcast, I sit down with Father Robert Nixon, a translator and expert on St. Bonaventure's writings, to dive deep into the mysteries of the Mass through the lens of this great Doctor of the Church.

Father Nixon shares his insights from his newly translated work, Expositzio Mise — an English translation of St. Bonaventure's profound exposition on the Mass. This episode takes listeners on a journey through the rich symbolism and mystery of the Eucharist, drawing connections between the ancient rites of the Church and the living experience of faith today.

We discuss the significance of the Mass, not just as a ritual but as the source and summit of our Catholic faith. Father Nixon emphasizes how the Eucharist unites us with Christ's life, teaching, passion, death, and resurrection, and how this mystery elevates our daily spiritual lives.

This episode is an invitation to reflect on how deeply the Eucharist impacts us, not only during the Mass but in our everyday walk with God. Whether you're looking to deepen your devotion to the Eucharist or explore the timeless wisdom of St. Bonaventure, this conversation offers profound insights into the sacred liturgy.

Topics Covered:

  • Introduction to St. Bonaventure and his mystical insights into the Mass
  • The Eucharist as a living encounter with Christ's entire life and mission
  • How the Mass unites us with God and elevates our daily faith journey
  • The role of reverence and devotion in experiencing the Mass
