The last three Mondays KVSS Spirit Catholic Radio aired interviews I gave as part of Fr. James Netusil's series Source and Summit, on the liturgy. In these three shows we discuss how the Mass uses church architecture, sacred music, and the inspired Word of God in its prayers to assist us in seeing and participating in the heavenly realities here and now, a foretaste in what God desires for us for all eternity. I outlined the content below in case you are interested in certain parts. My notes can be found here.
Episode 32: Eucharist and Eschatology 0:00-10:00 Sacred Music (Chant, Polyphony) 10:00-14:54; 18:35-30:10 Sacred Music, Scripture and the Prayers of the Liturgy
Recently I gave talks about the heavenly reality of the Mass both to the parents of the students in our religious formation program, as well as one to the students in our Catholic grade school and high school. Below is a video of the latter (recorded by our students). It follows the same line as the talks I gave in the above post, which is why I put them together here.
