What if skipping Mass isn’t just a bad habit.. but a serious wound to your soul? In this episode, we dive deep into why the Catholic Church teaches that missing Mass on Sunday is a mortal sin, what’s really happening on the altar, and why the Eucharist is not a symbol but Jesus Himself. We’ll walk through Scripture, the Catechism, and early Church tradition to show why the Mass isn’t just important, it’s essential. This is your invitation to rediscover the power, beauty and urgency of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
