Why the Mass Matters

Fr. Patrick Mary Briscoe, O.P., is the Editor-in-Chief of Aleteia, a host of the podcast Godsplaining, and a preacher of the USCCB’s Eucharistic Revival. Briscoe is the co-author of Saint Dominic’s Way of Life: A Path to Knowing and Loving God and author of the devotional series My Daily Visitor, published by Our Sunday Visitor.

Fr. Patrick Mary Briscoe, OP, says the Mass is important because it is there that we stand at the foot of the Cross and are transformed. It's also the place where we meet in community with fellow Catholics.
