    Show 215: THE VESTMENTS AND SACRED VESSELS USED AT MASS
    Jul 24 2025
    THE VESTMENTS AND SACRED VESSELS USED AT MASS.
    1. The vestments which the priest wears in the celebration of Mass consist of (1), the amice; (2), the alb; (3), the girdle; (4), the maniple; (5), the stole; (6), the chasuble.
    2. The various portions of the sacerdotal vestments are com memorative of Our Lord's Passion, and also serve to remind the priest of the duties of his office.
    3. The principal things which are used in saying Mass are: The chalice, the paten, and the missal.

    THE COLORS OF THE VESTMENTS.
    1. In the vestments worn by the priest at Mass, the Church makes use of five colors : white, red, green, purple, and black.
    2. White is the color used on the feasts of Our Lord, of the Blessed Virgin, of the angels, and of confessors.
    3. Red is the color used at Pentecost and on the feasts of martyrs.
    4. Green is used on the Sundays after the Epiphany and after Pentecost on which nothing special is commemorated.
    5. Purple is used in Advent and Lent, and upon vigils and Ember days.
    6. Black is used on Good Friday and at Masses for the dead.
    7. These colors not only depict the course of Our Lord's life on earth, but serve as a constant admonition to us to lead a pious life.

    Show 214: The Time and Place where Mass is to be Celebrated
    Jul 17 2025
    THE TIME WHEN MASS IS TO BE CELEBRATED
    1. The holy sacrifice of the Mass is generally to be celebrated between sunrise and noon, and at midnight on Christmas Eve.
    2. On Sundays and holydays of obligation the holy sacrifice of the Mass is offered at a convenient hour in all parish churches, and almost always on week-days also.
    3. No priest may, as a rule, say Mass more than once daily; but on Christmas Day all priests are allowed to say three Masses. And by the permission of the bishop some parish priests who have a large congregation are allowed to duplicate, that is, say two Masses on the same day.

    THE PLACE WHERE MASS IS TO BE CELEBRATED.
    1. The apostles offered the holy sacrifice on a table in a dwelling-house.
    2. In the time of the great persecution of the Christians, the holy sacrifice was offered on the tombs of the martyrs in subterranean passages (the Catacombs).
    3. "When the period of persecution was over, the holy sacrifice of the Mass was offered in churches upon altars of stone.
    4. Churches are usually built on a height, or in the centre of a township. The styles of ecclesiastical architecture are many and varied.
    5. Both the external and internal arrangements of churches are adapted to awaken and aid devotion.
    6. The consecration of a church is performed by the bishop, but a church can, with the permission of the bishop, be employed for divine service without consecration.

    Show 212: THE OBLIGATION OF HEARING MASS
    May 30 2025
    Today, we discuss THE OBLIGATION OF HEARING MASS.

    1. Every Catholic is bound, under pain of mortal sin, to hear the whole of one Mass devoutly every Sunday and holyday of obligation.
    2. Those persons who could not go to church without great injury to themselves, or who have some urgent work of mercy to perform, are excused from hearing Mass.
    3. We have not heard a whole Mass, unless we have been present in the church during the three principal parts of one and the same Mass.
    4. Those only can be said to hear Mass devoutly who banish from their mind all that may cause them distraction, and who unite their petitions to those of the priest, especially at the three principal parts of the Mass.
    5. It is permissible to assist at the holy sacrifice of the Mass on Sundays and holy days in any church; but it is desirable to go to one's parish church.
    6. To hear Mass on week-days, if possible, is a highly com mendable practice, for it may be the means of gaining the greatest graces.

    Show 211: Devotion at Holy Mass
    May 14 2025
    Today, we discuss DEVOTION AT HOLY MASS

    We ought to be very devout at Mass; that is, we ought to banish from our minds all that may cause distraction, and en deavor to unite our supplications to those of the priest, especially in the three principal parts of the Mass.

    1. Whispering, laughing, looking about at the time of Mass must be carefully avoided; moreover it is unseemly to come to Mass overdressed.
    2. When assisting at the holy sacrifice, we ought to unite our supplications to those of the priest, but it is not necessary to use the same prayers as he does,
    3. At the three principal parts of the Mass we should to a certain extent suspend our private devotions, and fix our attention upon what is done upon the altar.
    4. It is an excellent practice immediately after the consecra tion to make to our heavenly Father a definite act of offering of His divine Son sacrificed upon the altar, and of His Passion and death.
    5. At the communion if we do not communicate actually, we ought to do so spiritually.
    6. It is not possible to hear two or more Masses at the same time; therefore when in church we ought to follow one Mass attentively, and not more than one.

    May 8 2025
    Today, we discuss our new pope, Pope Leo XIV! Then, we discuss THE VALUE OF THE SACRIFICE OF THE MASS

    1. As the holy sacrifice of the Mass is an oblation of infinite value, to celebrate or to hear Mass is a good work which surpasses all other good works in excellence.
    2. Offering or hearing Mass has more value as a good work in proportion to the worthiness and devotion of priest and people.

    1. The holy sacrifice of the Mass is only offered to God; it may be offered to Him with a fourfold intention; by way of atonement, of petition, of praise, or of thanksgiving.
    2. The holy sacrifice of the Mass may also be offered in honor of the angels or saints.
    3. The holy sacrifice of the Mass can also be offered for the souls of the departed, who have been members of the Catholic Church, and have not died in a state of mortal sin.
    4. The holy sacrifice of the Mass can, however, be offered for the living, whether Catholics or non-Catholics.
    5. Not the priest alone, but all the faithful who are present at Mass, may offer the holy sacrifice for a special intention.

    1. By means of the holy sacrifice of the Mass the fruits of the sacrifice of the cross are applied to us in most abundant measure; more particularly we obtain thereby forgiveness of sin, certitude that our prayers are heard, temporal blessings, and eternal re wards.
    2. The forgiveness of sins consists in this: Through the sacrifice of the Mass sinners obtain the grace and gift of penitence (Council of Trent, 22, 2), while the just obtain the remission of venial sin, and of the temporal penalty due to sin.
    3. The prayers we offer during Mass will surely be heard, because they are aided by the prayer of Our Lord and of the angels who are present.
    4. Through the holy sacrifice of the Mass temporal blessings are obtained, especially these: God protects us from misfortune, assists us in our work, and blesses us in our temporal substance.
    5. We cannot obtain an eternal recompense through hearing Mass unless we are in a state of grace.
    6. Those who participate in the fruits of the holy sacrifice of the Mass are: First, the individual for whom it is celebrated; then the priest and all who are present; finally, all the faithful, both living and dead ; moreover the holy sacrifice gives joy to all the angels and saints.
