Navigating Life Podcast brings you Navigating Faith: Understanding Catholic Mass - Part 3. We do this by sharing an episode I do on the Catholic Radio Network with Father James Kelleher.

This is the third in a four-part series exploring the biblical roots and deeper meaning of the Catholic Mass, based on conversations with Father James Kelleher, the Rosary Priest.

We've prepared our hearts through the Introductory Rites and been nourished by God's Word. Now we arrive at the summit of Christian worship: the Liturgy of the Eucharist, where bread and wine become the actual Body and Blood of Jesus Christ.

If that sounds impossible to you, you're in good company. Even priests have struggled with this mystery. But as we'll discover today, God has given us some pretty amazing confirmations that this transformation is absolutely real.

"You Catholics don't base your faith on the Bible like we do."

Father Kelleher heard this challenge recently, and maybe you have too. It's one of the most persistent misconceptions about Catholic faith. The truth? The entire Catholic Mass is saturated with Scripture. Nowhere is this more obvious than in the Liturgy of the Word, where we're literally "nourished by the table of Holy Scripture."

If you've been following this series, you've prepared your heart through the Introductory Rites. Now you're ready for something beautiful: a personal encounter with Jesus through His Word.

Have you ever sat in Mass wondering what's really happening around you? You're not alone. Even lifelong Catholics sometimes find themselves going through the motions without fully understanding the profound journey they're embarking on each Sunday.

Father James Kelleher puts it perfectly: there's a world of difference between "attending Mass" and "participating in Mass." Today, we're going to unlock that difference by diving into the very beginning of our liturgical journey—the Introductory Rites.
