Why Mass? Jesus is our Bread of Life
4:37 | Part 4 of 5 | In every Catholic church, the crucifix and altar point to the real gift Jesus offers us at Mass: "Himself!" In this fourth video of the “Why Mass?” series, we ponder the divine love revealed on the Cross and made available to us through the Last Supper. And how receiving such extraordinary love in the Eucharist can be transformative for ordinary us.
