I actually started to celebrate being Catholic each year by buying a delicious cake just from a supermarket. Once an old lady asked me what the occasion was ....and I told her. We had a wonderful conversation. She was Catholic too. Of all the faiths I have studied this is the most LOVE.

Perfect Masses are performed worldwide daily! 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

You are so great Father!!! Other than the consecration that's my inner dialogue. LOL

I was really waiting for the last one 😭💯

I couldn't help but get a big ol' smile on my face at this. :-D My dad is a Lutheran pastor and recently retired, and I am pretty sure he would agree wholeheartedly with you!

That last one was really sweet, while I’m not God (duh) I like to think he’d think the same.

Very real. Thank you for sharing. Really encouraging and open. Very human. Relatable.

Your inner monologue should always be like your perfect mass-Holy spirit led…

Whenever I wonder at Mass (grrrrrr yes my mind 🧠sometimes / often wonders) I pray 🙏: Blessed be God. Blessed be His holy Name And I realize why I love the sacrifice of the Mass (refocussed) from : The Divine Praises Blessed be God. Blessed be His holy Name. Blessed be Jesus Christ, true God and true Man. Blessed be the Name of Jesus. Blessed be His most Sacred Heart. Blessed be His most Precious Blood. Blessed be Jesus in the most holy Sacrament of the altar. Blessed be the Holy Spirit, the Paraclete. Blessed be the great Mother of God, Mary most holy. Blessed be her holy and immaculate conception. Blessed be her glorious Assumption. Blessed be the name of Mary, Virgin and Mother. Blessed be St. Joseph, her most chaste spouse. Blessed be God in His Angels and in His Saints.

I was getting worried for a sec!! Perfect end !! How beautiful!! ❤️🙏☘️

Way to go Melchizedek, er, Fr Casey. You are In persona Christi! Thank you Lord!

Praise the Lord 🙏 Hallelujah.

I spoke to a priest after the Good Friday passion reading. I was crying. He said toward the end he was counting the people and figuring if he had enough hosts.

Aw so touching. I always feel that I am unworthy, I never thought the priest would be thinking that of themselves too ❤️

This is why i stick around. You've got personality. Though i may be confused on my path. I appreciate your message of positivity.

Chicken 😅 That is not only the priests! Also the congregation!! I speak for myself, is sad that we fall into the routine but the consolation is that I always find that moment of true peace and happiness during Mass for the sacrifice being offered!!

Beautifully human, thank you for sharing, Father Casey!

Stay focused, brother! Don’t let your mind wonder you are of course giving them the body and blood of Christ. Don’t let the devil distract you. Blessings on your head and thank you!

The voiceover seemed to match everything!

Love this, Father ❤

That first mass was me a week ago, 100% accurate 😂

So beautiful n wholesome! I love the catholic church

Perfect mass: Jesus I love you. I'm in the right place, please unify me to your sacrifice and your blessings. Glory to you. I propose.

I had a priest back when I lived in Switzerland that was constantly looking at his watch. He was old and old-school, so instead of seeing it as something bad, I just found it hilarious. 😂😂😂

Jesus may like your Chicken tho❤ That first one with the ahhhhh😂😂😂

10000000th mass: wow they really never change the words huh? Lol.

You need to watch the show, especially the first 3 seasons. Those are certified classics, and they have comedy for all ages.

Hahaha! It’s good to know I’m not the only one whose mind drifts away even in the most profound part of the mass. But get that final focus in the end.

That ending though

"Ooh. Chicken." 😂😂😂

How do yall not to fall asleep during mass? I either go early in the morning before breakfast or later in the afternoon before dinner. Because of fatigue and hunger I always end up dozing off.

God chooses the priest. HE sees something particular in some men. That's why it's called " chosen"

I usually suffer from those when I'm finally able to just sit in the pews. I always hope I will be able to be in the moment those rare instances when I don't have another task to perform during mass. Ironically it seems I am better able to focus on the eucharistic prayer when I serve as acolyte, sing in the choir or when I am the technician livestreaming the service. It's like I need to be busy in order to be able to focus on God.

@@BreakingInTheHabit How do you managed to stay focused? Admittedly for me it has happened many times. It's hard when a lot is going on in your life or in your head. And many times I tend to dwell on the problem. Sometimes, I really cannot form words in my head. I feel like I'm coming to him crying and I can't form sentences. But there are times when it's hard to pray because there is this current problem I am facing and for months I was losing hope... I then get distracted and wondered if God was really there. It also became discouraging to attend mass. But after reflecting why this current problem is happening in my life, I now try to go back to praying. The thing is, I realized he was always there. There were just some unfortunate events along the way but he was just there. Other times though when I do catch myself thinking of other unimportant things, I go back immediately. I need to work on that.

Honestly there are times where I look at the rat race and it all feels pointless and I consider walking into the nearest Catholic Church and just telling the nearest priest that I want to do what they do, and ask to be taught. I’m genuinely, and admittedly, a bit envious of how much you are able to devote your lives to God.

I am sure my priest is still on the 100th😂

Very nice. Pleased to be very active in the Episcopal Church where ALL baptized receive the Eucharist.

Awesome 💯😎

The first one was my favorite 😁

Amen, Amen

Just got confirmed this year and as a layperson still trying to make sure I'm doing the mass right, it's so relatable. haha Especially during the sacred silence moments or taking the eucharist. "Am I going to kneel this time? Am I going to take it by hand? Oh no it's my turn make a decision! Ok kneel, uh am I staring at the priest weird? Ah the host hit my tooth by accident, hope the priest doesn't think I'm weird. Ok, focus time on Jesus, kneel in the pew, thank you Jesus for the Church and ooooh what am I eating after this, NO NO Jesus, I want to devote everything to you, I will make the most of life including talking to my brother... but he did that one thin- no no! I will show him love. Sacred silence sacred silence... What's the priest doing now? OH yeah clean clean clean." Literally have to talk myself outta the distractions. hahah

My internal monologue: "Go in.peace To love and To serve the Lord" me. 55 seconds. "I got to say Mass today, wait did I say Mass? Where ought I be? Aahhh!" Thank God I am not a priest. Sincerely in Xto Mike B. B. From Philly, P.A. U.S.A.

..a beautiful ritual.

This is why I always go to mass.

I really wonder what it would have been like if I had answered God's Call 🤔

We are men, we all know we can't speak and think at the same time.

Why would you admit that all you have is "the right words," and "what should I cook tonight?"

Sanctus comes and I worry if I have confused the blessing of bread with the blessing of wine

Many priests really doubt what they do during consecration, and question what they have been taught since it grates against the reality of the character of the Biblical God!

The quality of the mass has nothing to do with the priest's performance and everything to do with Christ.

Why does all of this earthly stuff matter? The remembrance of him and belief in Jesus matters not all this extra stuff ngl Catholics seem a lot like the Pharisees of Jesus time getting stuff right but focusing to much on earthly traditions

Do the words in the book change much? As a Protestant, I'm always surprised how much priests have to keep reading from the book. Not being critical, just inquisitive.

In reality, the differences between Orthodox and Catholic have a lot less to do with theology than it does with authority, ritual, and ecclesiology. Protestants represent a rupture in the worldview of Catholicism, deep fissures that create major chasms. Orthodoxy maintains the same dogmas and essential doctrines as Catholicism (there are *a few* differences, but mostly in style rather than form), but we have major divisions over the papacy, language, and frankly, petter humanity.

Jesus said I am the bread of the life. not some random wafer. if you think fingering some beads and rote recitation is what God is all about then you are sorely mistaken Romans 2:11 “For there is no respect of persons with God.”
