Do you ever feel lost, distracted, bored or confused during Mass? Does going to Mass feel like just another obligation? Do you want to learn how to actually participate in the Mass — not just show up?
If these questions resonate with you, you're not alone — and this episode is exactly what you've been looking for.
Christopher Carstens joins Dan and Stephanie Burke on Divine Intimacy Radio to unpack liturgical spirituality — what it is, why John Paul II called the Church to develop it, and how understanding it transforms the Mass from something you do to something that does something in you.
Chris explains the Paschal Mystery in a way that finally makes it click, why humility is the foundational liturgical virtue, and how the Mass is meant to color every dimension of your life — family, work, prayer, and everything in between.
