As a Lutheran trynna learn more about Catholicism , it has been two weeks I started to attend Mass and what’s amazing is the fact his past 2 videos( today and last Friday) are about the Mass ! Amazing
The first time I went to mass, I called ahead and asked someone to sit with me and help me with the missal. They kind of thought I was crazy! Haha but I was introduced to some religious ed instructors and a sister who became a friend. Very welcoming, but not like some churches where everyone knows your new. Catholic Churches are usually very large, and often have visitors every week. So you will probably blend in. Soak it all up friend !! And also, every parish can be a little (even a lot) different. Try a few in your area.
Definitely not all of a sudden my friend. The Lord has been waiting for you, and saw how nervous you were. So He consoled you, and has given you this amazing video, so that you may enjoy Mass!!! Even as a cradle Catholic, this video for me was a wake up call. I hope you had a wonderful experience :) God bless!!
@@A.S2400 Well said! I’m publishing a weekly TH-cam video on episodes from the life of Don Bosco, entitled ST JOHN BOSCO by JOE ZAMMIT. In this series I’m narrating events and miracles from the splendid life of Don Bosco. St John Bosco used to perform a miracle almost every day, through the intercession of Mary Help of Christians. From the lives of saints we can learn how to love God more and draw closer to him. Thank you
Would Ascension ever post a teaching mass where one of the Fathers goes through what each element means? I’ve always wanted to watch/attend one! Thanks for all the explanations here Father Mark Mary! :)
Being an adult convert from Protestantism, I’ve always loved the responsorial Psalm. I always read the psalms growing up but didn’t necessarily think of them as songs. I think it’s one of the coolest things about mass (among many). Something about putting the psalms to music just makes my heart happy And helps me remember key verses at least. I’m so thankful for the mass!!! 😀
We shouldn't exit the church as soon as we receive Holy Communion either. Wait until the dismissal blessing & for the procession out of church by priest, deacons.
Mass is very essential to our spiritual life so many graces and blessings obtained by attending. I was told as a child that all the angels and saints are present during the mass isn’t that a comforting and beautiful thing to have happen to us during the mass plus all of the prayers and blessings we receive
#3 (Offeratory) - what a great point. It's pretty easy to get so focused on sins and on our insufficiencies, but to take a moment to actually celebrate our victories too, that's cool. Good call. Thanks!
He stays in our systems for a whole 20 minutes I truly take advantage of this unity with our Lord sometimes to the point that my sister has to tell me that the rest of the mass has continued please please take advantage of this time with our Lord and Savior

Gods Will is what My Priest taught me , and being in a state of Grace before and after Mass. Meditating and Reciting the Mysteries of the Holy Rosary of Our Blessed Mother, may help. Intercession of Our Saints. We shall try to represent Jesus the best we can, even when we are not in Church. 🙏🏼🆙🕊🎚⛪️🛐☮️🌎🤲🏼❤️😇🙏🏼
A big thank you for this very necessary advice for everyone.prepare for the mass is very necessary We not at a movie.silence is vital to prepare.please realize this is a treasure. THE MASS
One of the reasons I love attending the TLM is that it is often times more reverent and lends to an environment that encourages deeper prayer and participation. Thank you, Fr Mark-Mary, I appreciate your encouragement. God bless you!
Hello I’m just curious and there is no obligation to answer. I understand the reverence claims TLM catholics make and that is a desirable trait but lets assume the duration of the mass is two hours. How does one enjoy the mass if you don’t know latin? 🕯✝️🕯Do you know latin?😇
Ask God what He wants of you during Mass. Whether that is to pray for someone, listen, ask to share in someone’s suffering for their sanctification, or anything else. Ask God before Mass what He wants you to focus on.
Someone I admire taught me a long time ago, to listen, almost straining to hear God’s word in the liturgy, then strain a little harder, almost pushing yourself into the place of peace. This method helps me to be as fully absorbed as I can be, not thinking of the outside, and things I have to do. Blessings, Norma
No talking or making any type of noise to disturb those who really go to church to listen to the word of God. Viva Cristo Rey. Dress acordinly and not like you are going dancing or to the mall / beach. God bless you. Thank you.
Thank you . So much precious info we all walk thru but have not always learned in the proper way . I learn so much in my late years from you guys. I am 62 and went through CCD as a child and never had teachings that made you love or understand your faith.
Today our priest gave a beautiful homily. It was about the Real Presence of the Holy Eucharist and about letting go and letting God do what’s best for us. We are so blessed to have a Holy priest. 🙏🏼 Thanks for your words Father 😇
Thank you Fr Mark Mary. I try to always be present in the mass but at times I have found myself checking out at those moments. By now being conscious of this I hope to improve my time with Our Lord
I have reflected on the 5 points that you have shared about participating at Mass and totally agree with them. However, all my life I have found the music at Mass to be more of a distraction, especially during Communion. After receiving Communion I feel pressured to hurry up and join in the singing when I'd rather take the time in silence to reflect on Who it is I have just received. I would prefer that singing be done after all have received Communion and the priest is cleansing the vessels.
I found that I became much more attuned to the Mass by watching it online during the last year. Being in the virtual front pew helped me focus on and listen to - not just hear - the liturgy. Sit close to the altar now that we're back in church!

@/askascension - Can you talk about each week the mass is so beautifully assembled. The Psalms, The Old Testament, Acts, Gospels, Epistle Readings, The Music and The Homily are all chosen as a theme. Those parts of the service are not just selected at random. A LOT of preparation goes into EVERY MASS. Most people don't even know that and completely miss it. Its really great when you know what is going on.
Fr. Mark Mary, awesome video. In part three you mentioned offering, among other things, our sufferings. In part one you mention arriving early. If it was up to me I would arrive an hour early to enjoy the peace and to "get ready". I think from now on I can combine the two! I can (part three) offer the suffering I endure when (God forbid!) we arrive in the parking lot 15 minutes before Mass and my youngest starts in with "Oh my head! We're like the only ones here! Is there even a Mass? Why are we sooooo early?! Etc." Now, in addition to using those minutes before Mass to remind them that since we have sooooo much time before Mass I don't expect anyone to have to use the bathroom during the next hour AND now I can use the experience as something small to offer to the Good Lord, Whom I believe as the Creator of all humor, must sympathize with parents who "enjoy" this weekly ritual ... the one outside the church. God Bless you and the other Friars. I knew Fr. Benedict and have always admired the work you all do. Love, Sean
Thank you for giving me more words to use in my prayers. God bless you Fr. Mark-Mary! You are definitely blessed and guided by the Holy Spirit! Praise God for His Tender mercies.
My wonderful daughters got confirmed last week. However two of my family members, one who knows better, who are not in communion with the church received communion. It has bothered me since. My sister told me it's not my place to address it and that there is grace for people who do this in error. I feel like if I love someone that's a reason TO address it.
MRI scans have discovered that people who have suffered traumatic childhood abuse suffer when simply getting ready for something. The rational side of their brains get less active and the emotional side gets more active, causing them to be chronically late. So chronic lateness is not always from disrespect. Nor is it always controllable.
I think in a serious state like this it’s understandable when someone is late like that! Even Fr. Mark Mary brings up that sometimes being late can’t be helped, like parents with children. I don’t think Father is trying to demean anyone who is late when it can’t be helped or in serious circumstances, he just wants those people who AREN’T in serious circumstances to prioritize coming in on time a bit more. Peace be with you love, and thank you for raising awareness to those souls who have suffered abuse❤️❤️💖
What advice would you give to unbaptized Catechumens to be more active in the Holy Mass? We cannot recieve the Eucharist, but I'm sure most of us would like to participate more in Mass.
read/ follow along in the missal (if you have one), especially during the scripture readings. I am a cradle Catholic but when I was preparing for confirmation my CCD teacher had us write a paragraph about what we learned from the priest’s homily as homework. Really pay attention to the homily and after mass maybe try writing in a journal what you learned. Hope this helps
You receive the spiritual communion. Browse the prayer and say it during communion.... It goes Lord I believe you are really present in the Holy Eucharist, I cannot now receive you in Holy Communion but I beg you to come to me spiritually....I embrace you as already there... Please browse it...I'm not sure I got it all
Hi Hustin, I say meditations on His Precious Body (based on writings of the saints and scripture). For example, i like meditating on the fact that God is truly present, emitting His radiant Light which is greater than the sun and greater than the moon. His Light which our human eyes cannot perceive. It is our Salvation from the darkness in the world and within our very ourselves. Hope that helps, peace and God bless!
It is funny how he keeps saying check out..... honestly I do check out at these five stages...and then I tell my mind: hello! We are still in mass check in
There aren’t any bleachers in a Mass unless you’re in a non-denominational type auditorium. I’m working currently on changing the minds of a newly introduced person to this church that serves 5,000 folks... I’ve already asked that my friend introduces “The Hallow Application” to these people who attend this auditorium... my prayers will be endless to bring these people to “The Church” as opposed to an auditorium with no “Blessed Sacrament” ... “Jesus, I adore you, ever present in the Blessed Sacrament...”. Send your blessings upon all Dear Lord, our Savior...desire to change the hearts of non-believers of your goodness and sacrifice for all of our sins worldwide...”. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Hey Father, I hear conflicting answers whether there are true vocations or state in life of being single. What is your take on it? I keep praying that I will either find a good catholic husband or become a fssp nun but so far neither have worked out. And I don't want to be single anymore. As I am older than most people without a calling. Thanks for your videos. God bless 😇
I’m a Eucharistic Minister and it really helps me to be more involved in mass because I’m giving the body and blood of Christ to others and I assist in setting up the mass so I must know how to properly and reverently dress the altar. It’s very fulfilling.
I dislike Eucharistic ministery , we don’t have consecrated hands. I love that my priest and the deacon will personally give every host no matter how long it takes, which by the way is very streamlined and doesn’t take long at all. On the tongue as well, so no particle of Jesus body blood soul and divinity is lost. That’s why the priest tightly pinches his fingers together during mass to keep any particle from falling. No amount of reverence can keep this from happening if the host is passing from hand to hand. 🙏🏼😔
@/askascension Prayers are not supposed to dilute. If you pray a prayer for the whole world does the whole world actually get the blessing for that prayer? How can that be?
@/askascension Suffering is supposed to be as good a prayer in that if it is offered up it can help sinners get to heaven. Suppose you are not a good sufferer and complain about it. Is it still good to offer up or do you have to be one of those silent long suffering sufferers? How does suffering help sinners and can all of it be used even if you complain about it. I know when i am suffering i would wish it away in a minute if i could. I i could I would not silently accept it so if i am not on board with it can it still be offered up. Can you also use it to get yourself into heaven or is that selfish? When we were kids if we didn't get our own way someone would always say offer it up and shut up.
@/askascension Can you explain what the priests does in Extreme Unction? He has some sacramentals and I think a Consecrated Host and says some prayers. If you get this before you die do you go to heaven or do you have to do a last confession and suppose you are unconscious?
At that point in the Mass (where we are tempted to check out) it's bread and wine being carried forward and placed on the altar. It is both *literally* a real item really being sacrificed to God *and also* represents the *spiritual* sacrifices that we have made and that we desire to figuratively place on the altar (we cannot literally place "longanimity during a headache" or "patience during a traffic jam when I was already late" on an altar, as they are not physical.) But yes, later in the Mass what is physically on the altar is the body and blood of Christ, just not during the offertory song etc.
He does not mean the Holy Eucharist is symbolic. It is truly the Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. He is only saying that as the priest is preparing the Bread and Wine, as he offers them up. We can offer up our sufferings, and our prayers. The offering up is symbolic because we can offer up our own sufferings.
Those of us who cannot carry a tune in a bucket are encouraged to sing silently. Sing in our hearts and spirits, just not out loud. God is not praised by offending His ears!
I follow each and every word at mass. Latin is not going to bring people back. If they want to bring more beauty to the mass go back to the earlier versions of the English Mass. They had more meat to them.

3:55 our offering is symbolic? I always thought it was the body and blood of Christ.
At that point in the Mass (where we are tempted to check out) it's bread and wine being carried forward and placed on the altar. It is both *literally* a real item really being sacrificed to God *and also* represents the *spiritual* sacrifices that we have made and that we desire to figuratively place on the altar (we cannot literally place "longanimity during a headache" or "patience during a traffic jam when I was already late" on an altar, as they are not physical.)
But yes, later in the Mass what is physically on the altar is the body and blood of Christ, just not during the offertory song etc.
He does not mean the Holy Eucharist is symbolic. It is truly the Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. He is only saying that as the priest is preparing the Bread and Wine, as he offers them up. We can offer up our sufferings, and our prayers. The offering up is symbolic because we can offer up our own sufferings.
But I have a Horrible singing voice... d8-
Those of us who cannot carry a tune in a bucket are encouraged to sing silently. Sing in our hearts and spirits, just not out loud. God is not praised by offending His ears!
I follow each and every word at mass. Latin is not going to bring people back. If they want to bring more beauty to the mass go back to the earlier versions of the English Mass. They had more meat to them.
This is a man who has never and will never drag a toddler to mass on a weekly basis.
