True Magnificence of the Mass
 
In the busyness of our lives, we don’t often reflect upon the remarkable treasure to be found in the Mass. True Magnificence reveals the truth about the nature of worship, our understanding of the Mass, and how we gain access to Jesus Christ by participating in it. Through a series of interviews with Catholic lay people and Father John Riccardo, we gain insight into the Mass as a gift from God where he pours His grace upon us to face the challenges of life. Within the personal testimonies, the Mass as a sacrifice is explored as well as the great mystery of the Eucharist, whereby the body and blood of Jesus is made present and accessible to us. How different our lives are given such a gift.

We hope you enjoy these meaningful and inspirational videos. We want to thank Fr. John Riccardo and all those at Our Lady of Good Counsel.
