Mystagogy: A Lifelong Practice for Living Liturgically
11:00 - 12:30We can try to make Mass more meaningful by explaining it. But information about Mass isn’t the same as being formed by the Mass. Our job as leaders is not to explain the Mass but to open hearts to Christ who teaches us the meaning of the mysteries we celebrate. To do this we need to be stewards of these mysteries, seeing life through a deep religious imagination. Through prayer, song, ritual, and story, we’ll explore eight disciplines for developing our sacramental vision so we can engage the disengaged at Sunday Mass, attract the uninterested, and rekindle our own appreciation for the sacraments we celebrate.
