The Queue

A Devotional Journey into the Mass is excellent, synthesizing much that I already knew into a compelling presentation, while also providing both new nuggets of knowledge & new angles for consideration of facts already known. I plan to film a Popish Plot episode urging viewers to apply the lessons of A Devotional Journey into the Mass into their weekly (or daily) Mass-going experience.

The devotional journey is broken down into eight legs:
1. How to Enter the Church Building
2. How to Make the Sign of the Cross
3. How to Pray the Opening Prayer
4. How to Listen to the Readings
5. How to Prepare the Heart at the Offertory
6. How to Participate in the Eucharistic Prayer
7. How to Receive Communion to the Fullest
8. How to Respond to the Dismissal
