  • The three principal hindrances to full participation in the Mass to which all of us are prone
  • The real meaning of “keeping holy” the Sabbath. Its special importance for the family
  • One tendency we will have to overcome when listening to Scripture readings
  • How to gain keep watch over over your wandering attention
  • The one indispensable element of a deep liturgical life
  • What to do when the Mass becomes boring and “routine”
  • How to achieve a genuine not superficial stillness
  • The importance of listening. Inner barriers that prevent it
  • Why it’s essential to arrive early at Mass whenever possible
  • The true significance of kneeling and standing in church

    • Although he was an eminent theologian, Msgr. Guardini wrote for odd Catholics who are struggling to grow to be closer to Christ. In truth, these pages originated as talks before Mass to help prepare worshippers for its celebration. Practical, straightforward, yet full of wisdom, Meditations Before Mass will help you to quiet your soul, concentrate your mind, and grow more receptive to grace.
