THE CATHOLIC MASS
Instructors
Are you longing for deeper reverence and understanding at Mass? Journey through 14 lessons and rediscover the greatest prayer of the Church.
We are living in a time of liturgical exile, says Bishop Athanasius Schneider—a moment marked by confusion, forgetfulness, and even abuse in the way we celebrate the Holy Mass. This 14-lesson course, inspired by The Catholic Mass, invites you to recover what has been lost: the awe, beauty, and transcendent meaning of the Church’s greatest treasure.
Each lesson will take you deep into one essential aspect of the Roman Rite, restoring a sense of reverence and wonder. With clarity and authority, Bishop Schneider and co-author Aurelio Porfiri reveal the profound truth that the Mass is the highest form of Christian prayer, not simply a gathering, but a sacred encounter with the divine.
Through this course, you will:
Understand why precise rubrics are not empty ritualism but protect the sacred mystery
Discover how architecture, chant, incense, and sacred art orient us toward Heaven
Learn the importance of silence, recollection, and active interior participation
Grasp the theological and spiritual meaning of ad orientem celebration
Explore how gestures like kneeling and genuflecting are acts of faith and humility
Be introduced to the richness of Eucharistic adoration and the Liturgy of the Hours
Whether you're a priest, religious, liturgical minister, or lay faithful longing to deepen your love for the Mass, this course will help you recover a liturgical spirituality rooted in tradition, beauty, and truth.
Join us in these 14 powerful lessons to rediscover what the Church has always known: the Mass is Heaven on earth.
