While the prayers of the old Latin Rite are beautiful, Fr. Fessio prefers the prayers of the Offertory in the Novus Ordo Rite, and in this episode he explains why.
Why do we sacrifice things to God, if he does not need it? Does God take please in us destroying things? Using the words of his teacher Pope Benedict, Fr. Fessio explains why we worship God and make sacrifices to Him.
Fr. Fessio explains why bread and wine are apt foods to be transubstantiated into Jesus Body and Blood.
This part of the Mass is easily overlooked, but it is an important part of the Liturgy where we give our gifts to God and His Church.

A deep-dive Catholic-oriented show focusing on liturgy, church history, and theology. Episodes often dissect liturgical practices, scriptural interpretation, and patristic reflections, delivered through solo or reflective monologues by a Jesuit priest. The conversations tend to center on Mass structure, prayers, and Vatican II reforms, with a devotional yet scholarly tone that appeals to listeners seeking spiritual formation and ecclesial understanding. A notable strength is the clear, structured exploration of highly specific liturgical topics, making complex traditions accessible for both practitioners and curious laypeople.
