PLEASE NOTE: I am not going to go on Facebook or YouTube for the class and so not on the app or website. We are using LIFESIZE, which is like ZOOM. It just seems that I do not know how this would be used by other people. If you want to join us tonight for class with Fr. Daniel, you can click the link below. Sign on a guest if you do not want to give your name. Also do not worry about the camera or mic. You do not need to use one. Just ignore that or click them off. I think given the internet right now, this seems the best. Sorry if you only want to watch us on facebook or youtube.

The Mass is useless (and why that’s a good thing)
Almost everything we do in life is done for some other purpose. We eat to fuel our bodies; we drive to get somewhere; we use Google to find answers.
But the Mass is different. Worship is one of the few activities we do for its own sake.
We don’t worship God to achieve other goals. We don’t worship to get something in return. Worship doesn’t serve some other practical purpose.
The Mass is good in itself. It has no other use—it’s useless!
But this shouldn’t scandalize us. It’s actually a good thing. Why? Because the most useless activities, such as worship, friendship, and playing sports, are the best in life.
Watch this video to understand the Mass in a new light:
Questions:
- How is the Mass a prelude to eternal life?
- Why is the Gathering part of Mass so important?
- Why do we proclaim Scripture at Mass?
