Unpacking The Mass
Welcome to Unpacking the Mass, a weekly study through the upcoming week’s Mass readings for the Catholic Church.
Unpacking the Mass helps listeners prepare their hearts for what they will hear in the upcoming week’s Mass through a thoughtful and practical interaction with the texts with an emphasis on personal understanding and application.
Join Keith this week and be counted among those to whom Jesus said “Let he who has ears to hear” Matt.13:9. Unpacking the Mass is available as a video on Keith’s YouYube channel.
