## Resource

What Really Happens at Mass? Do you ever feel like your missing the deeper meaning? In this rich conversation, Fr. Gregory Pine sits down with Dr. Edward Sri to unpack the biblical meaning behind the prayers, gestures, and structure of the Holy Mass. Drawing on Scripture, the Catechism, and the Church’s liturgical tradition, Dr. Sri explains how every part of the Mass—from “The Lord be with you” to “Blessed are those called to the supper of the Lamb”—is designed to help us encounter Jesus Christ more deeply.
