Siguiendo la Misa

"Spanish-language version of A Walk Through the Mass: A Step-by-Step explanation by Thomas Richstatter, O.F.M.

Sheds light on why we do what we do at Sunday Mass. Addressed to Catholics, catechumens and visitors from other churches. While acknowledging that the Mass is still a sacrifice, this Update uses the imagery of the Mass as meal to explain the rituals used in each of the four parts of the Mass (gathering rites, story telling, meal sharing, commissioning). “What happens in our lives during the week gives deeper meaning to the ritual actions we have celebrated at Mass.…It is only in relation to our daily lives that the full meaning of the ritual actions of the Mass becomes clear to us,” writes Richstatter.
