Welcome to a new feature in the bulletin—a “sometimes” weekly insert on the Liturgy.  Its purpose is to help us “get more out of” the Mass.  But before we move to the heart of the matter with some suggestions, we need to revisit an important question, “Why gather every Sunday for Mass?”  This same question lies behind others that we hear, maybe even from some family members: 

• “Why waste an hour every week when you could use that time to catch up…on necessary chores, on sleep, etc.?” 
• “I can pray to God anywhere, why do I need to go to church to do it?”
