We conclude our journey through the Mass in a Month by reflecting on the story of the Road to Emmaus and how it can reflect our experience of the Mass. We bring our struggles, fears, hopes, and dreams to Jesus, and in the Mass, he opens up the Scriptures for us, feeds us, renews us, and sends us out to others, carrying the message of the Gospel. The Mass, says Dr. Sri, is truly the source and summit of the Christian life, and we unpack what that means for us.
Have you heard of the Mass described as the "source and summit" before? What does it mean for you, personally, to see the Mass as the source and summit of your life?What is one concrete way you're going to approach Mass differently in the future?What would it look like for you to bring your whole life—your joys, struggles, and desires—to the altar more intentionally?How can you approach each Mass with a greater expectation that Jesus wants to personally encounter and transform you?
