In the introduction to his book “The Lamb’s Supper: The Mass As Heaven On Earth” Scott Hahn writes: “Of all things Catholic, there is nothing so familiar as the Mass. With its timeless prayers, hymns, and gestures, the Mass is like home to us. Yet most Catholics will go a lifetime without seeing beyond the [...]

Albert Einstein once said: “The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science.” Today is Trinity Sunday, the day when we celebrate the central mystery of our faith, the mystery of the Most Holy Trinity, the very mystery of God’s self, God’s inner [...]
