Episode 6: Are We Worshipping God With Our Best?
Synopsis:
Today Father Victor closes out season two by reflecting upon his experience attending the dedication mass for Saint Ignatius his new parish church. It was a unique moment of seeing so much planning, detail and preparation poured into one moment of worshiping God. The details of this rich liturgy of our faith give us much to consider as people of faith, members of the body of Christ, and children of God.
Dig in Further:

Do you feel like you are worshiping God as best as you can? Do you feel like your parish is worshiping God as best as they can?
If not how might God be calling you to participate more fully and actively in the life of worship of your parish? How might God be calling you to invest all of your heart, all of your mind, all of your body, and all of your strength into Your participation of the Eucharist?
If somebody was looking at your life objectively and holistically, would it be clear to them that worshiping God through the Sunday Eucharist is the most important aspect of your life? What about if they assess the collective lives of the people in your parish?
What would have to change for that to become clear to an outsider? To your fellow parishioners? To your family members? To yourself?
