text: For practicing Catholics who attend Mass every Sunday, it can be easy to get caught up in the routine instead of consciously entering into the sacrament. When this happens, although we remain physically present, we start to become emotionally distant from what’s actually taking place on the altar, while missing some of the main aspects of our faith.
  Today, Fr. Mark-Mary shares some ways we can dive deeper into the Mass through prayer.
  You can read the institution narratives that Fr. Mark-Mary mentions in the following passages:
  - Matthew 26:20-29
  - Mark 14:17-25
  - Luke 22:14-20 1
  - Corinthians 11:23-25
  Check out the life-changing study that Fr. Mark-Mary mentions in the video.
