How To Get More Out Of Mass | The Catholic Talk Show

In this episode of The Catholic Talk Show, the guys discuss ways you can more fully participate in Mass and fight distraction, boredom, or acedia.

• and much more

    My Baptist friend once said "if what you say is true and Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist and if I was Catholic, I'd attend Mass EVERY DAY, no excuses. I would have to be literally dead before not attending daily Mass and even then at least my corpse would be present." She said she would attend every Adoration Hour too. Different perspective.

    I transferred to the Tridentine Mass. The experience is exactly what I was hoping it to be, very Catholic! Having said that, St. John Cantius in Chicago celebrates the Ordinary Form in Latin and Ad Orientem. It's actually quite refreshing to watch the Ordinary Form celebrated in such a reverent manner, the way it's supposed to be.

    I might be spoiled, coming from a very small Novos Ordo parish, but we've always done things very reverently. In fact, that's true of nearly every other NO parish I've ever visited. There may be one or two in my entire 30+ years of existence that hasn't upheld the tradition in a wholesome way. Is this whole debate focused around the way things are done in the big cities, or what? I'm befuddled by this whole argument, frankly. The vernacular allows the laity to understand exactly what's being said and to thus reflect upon it in a much deeper way. I'm not putting down the Traditional Latin Mass, by the way. I've never been to one, but I'd really love to go sometime. Nonetheless, I do see why it would be suppressed, unfortunately, because so many rad-trads have to go online and ruin it for the rest of the faithful. Are there really that many charismatic Prot wannabes out there in Vatican II land? If so, then you should really level your critiques pointedly at them, rather than being so falsely pious about it. Mind you, I'm *speaking generally* here, based on what I've encountered. I am certainly *not accusing you* or anyone here of behaving in that manner... yet, lol. God bless.

    The bells! I love it so much. As a Baptist when we did the “Lord’s supper” every so often I always heard ringing in my ears. Every time. Never knew people believed you were ACTUALLY receiving Christ. When I learned that then I went to Mass and heard the bells I knew exactly why I always heard that ringing in my ears. It was calling me to the Sacrament.

    cocolocooz - Yes we understand that all are welcome but 95% of us can come to Church wearing some nice clothes. The point is reverence and respect for almighty God. This has been lost since the Vatican Ii debacle when the hippies/communists/leftists took over the Church and our entire culture! America as a society has lost all respect for itself and in my humble opinion is a huge driver of the decline of culture in the western world. If we want better of ourselves and our children and the world it starts on how we present ourselves. Our culture will never improve unless we demand better of ourselves and that begins with how we dress and speak.

    When I approach for the reception of the Eucharist, if I'm not sure what to pray for or think about, I always just invoke the Divine Mercy and say in my mind "Jesus, I trust in you" over and over again until I've received Him. It reminds me of the reality of the true presence and it's just a simple statement of faith. Then, when I get back in the pew, I kneel silently and let him speak to my heart, especially since He's physically so close to my heart at that point.

I know it’s hard right now Bc of the times that we are going though. So this talk show just keeps me so grounded in my path to our Father. There is no mass where I’m at. So THANK YOU 🙏🏼 . Especially for introducing the Hallow app. I have been using this for a few days now and it’s such a great way to connect with God. I also realized that Father Mike from Ascension Presents is on that app! & that is another KZread channel I follow to help me until I can convert, I found such a wow factor that this talk show and the app and Father Mike we’re connected to everything I’ve been looking to to grow closer to God. So yeah that’s my excitement. And a thanks to all of you ❤️

    The dressing for Mass is important to me. Always, wear the best you can. I may go over the top for Christmas, but it is Jesus’ birthday party, right. Personally I like to get to Mass an hour early so, I can get in my Adoration in, plus like you all said, the quiet helps me to prepare. And my thing is (and I get a lot of strange looks) when the homily starts, I pull out my Mass journal and write as much as I can about what the Priest is saying. I have gotten into this habit because of listening to Fr. Mike Schmitz, 😁 he makes me feel as though I have homework to do so, I don’t want to miss what he has to say and this way I can do my homework later in the day. This one really helps with drowning out babies crying, people coughing, etc. I just concentrate on the word. Thanks, for your amazing channel and keep up the good works.

I have a very hard time reading and fully comprehending what I just read, so hearing it and having a chance to sit back and meditate on what I just heard is invaluable to me. It takes some of the frustration out of the reading in Mass and it helps me take away so much more because I already dove into what I just heard.

    I’d like to comment before I listen to this episode in particular. So many years of dedicated priests who have learned English to celebrate mass in the church in which I attend, have unfortunately left me feeling frustrated. Due to strong accents, I can’t understand much of what they are saying, so my mind wanders during the homily! I feel terrible! I live in So California but attend a very small church in southern most Fresno diocese , twenty-five minutes away. This particular parish has suffered from the lack of priests in a most dire way for decades. I so very much want to hear and be enriched and inspired by the homily, but often come away feeling “empty-handed”.

    Wonderful show guys. Coronavirus has ensured that we can't attend Mass but we can still prepare for it in the same way. My parish has 4 Masses in the morning and 1 in the evening, so it can be hectic trying to get a few minutes after Mass to linger with Christ. I have always loved the imagery of the Eucharistic Prayer 1 where it says 'we pray that your angel may take this sacrifice to your altar in heaven'. To imagine that there are hosts of angels around the altar has always brought me awe and comfort. Truly, we need the Mass. God bless you guys.

    A Catholic Mass is like being invited to The Last Supper with Jesus & His apostles. Jesus said the first Mass & told them to continue it until He returns. When the Priest blesses the bread & wine, they transform into The Body & Blood of Jesus Christ; this is The Transubstantiation & only occurs in a Catholic or Orthodox Mass. Receiving Jesus in Holy Communion is the most beautiful, powerful & intimate union we can have with Him while on earth. We truly become one with Him. 1Cor11:23-29,Jn 6:51-59

Will I be allowed to marry in the church?

    All masses done as they should be are valid masses. When something is "different" it attracts people sometimes for a while, they feel renewed. Another language, another priest, kneelers, different music, more people, less people, it varies by each person. Scott Hahn had a point when he said the "Latin" group that is new, would they feel the same way if brought up with it and stuck with it? Good chance, no. I think we need reminders since Catholic mass is repeating certain parts weekly, what and why you are saying it. In confession once a priest said say the Our Father slowly, really listen and hear the words, it gets to be just a prayer when repeated often without thought. He had a point too.

    The quiet factor at church...sigh...I have arrived to daily mass well before mass only to encounter people in a group saying prayers out loud I was not familiar with. I tried to pray on my own anyway and found it distracting. Same with daily mass that has ended- a group of people praying a prayer I'd never heard of when I had the intent of quiet prayer. I dont like that quiet prayer feels like it has to be at home. Theres a solemnity that's missing. I will try sitting up front. That might be less distracting

    I used to think it wholly communion was a symbol and I didn't know it was actually jesus christ body and Blood . I show very reverence since I know that now . And I didn't know where it came up with that thinking it was a symbol, but now I know better. And I have learned so much from Father Mike . He's a one that convertibly did the Catholic church .to come back, I fell away . I did all my confessions. I go to mass every young sunday and every holy day.i take the holy communion .I am grateful I made it back to the Catholic church.

    My suggestions on how to prepare for the weekly Mass are: Be respectful of your Priest. He does not sit around all week twiddling his thumbs waiting for the next Sunday to come. He has his daily Mass; confession, CCD, Pastoring to others, weddings, christenings, and funerals, and he has to prepare for the next Mass. Your Priest takes care to be succinct, so, you should do the same. Make sure that your Priest has some congregants to call in an emergency. Make sure that your Priest is having a sufficient holiday meal. Go to church clean and well slept. Get to Mass on time. I'm sorry, but, I do not believe in fasting, the bacteria in your body need something to eat besides your body. I'm sorry, but I do not believe in tithing. You should give what you are able to give. If you cannot afford to give, we do not want you to not attend Mass because of it. Lastly, I don't know what Church you attend, but, what you describe wouldn't be tolerated up here.

    You should be facing the Priest as he proclaims the Gospel. He is there to teach with authority, as Jesus did in the synagogue, and he is beginning his part as the persona Christi.

    As someone in RCIA, would I be fasting for the service & homily? Because I can't have the Eucharist yet. It crossed my mind to walk out because it hurts that I can't participate. I'm not worthy, so why suffer? Also, confessions don't grant me absolution.

    Fr Rich you should tell the people who don't get anything out of the homily's to write there own homily's before coming to mass and compare, either way you win cause they can learn to digest the Gospel and understand the homily more and if their homily turns out better then yours you can learn from them haha

    Is it too much to have the kids leave the video games in the car? It's distracting enough that they are walking cross the pews or cling to the moms, but they also color pictures of secular things.

    Sermons are reduced to minutes of irrelevant babbling sometimes. It's become a noontime show in the name of "Mass appeal". I could sit an hour if the preaching was good and made sense of Scripture and explained the reason for whatever Mass it is for. One time there was a priest who only mentioned the Marian feast we were celebrating in passing at the very end of his sermon. I was thinking, "why did you not preach to us on why we're here for worship? What has this event to do with our spiritual and daily lives? Why do we even believe in this thing in the first place?"
