The Liturgy Guys have hit warp drive.  In this episode, they cover everything from the Offertory Chant all the way to the Prayer of the Offerings.  That's No. 23 — No. 30 in the Order of Mass.

Welcome to The Liturgy of the Eucharist!   By no means the last episode on this topic!  Or even the seventh to last! Order of Mass No. 21 No. 22.

Completing our detour sandwich! Liturgy Guys finish their discussion on Jean Hani, and his reflections on the nature and meaning of the Holy Sacrifice. Now we’ll be fully prepared to dive into the Liturgy of the Eucharist!

Easter Triduum approaches!  The Liturgy Guys share some of their favorite factoids about this most holy season.  For example, did you know it's not pronounced, "Tri-Doom?"

Before diving into the Liturgy of the Eucharist, The Liturgy Guys discuss the nature and meaning of the Holy Sacrifice.  For help, they turn to the works of French philosopher Jean Hani.  Denis has been struck with, "Hani-itis," a self-diagnosed very contagious, non-real disease (as well as Appendicitis, a medically diagnosed, non-contagious, very real disease for which he received an appendectomy last weekend—all is well, though prayers are appreciated) and he hopes to inflict the former,...

The Liturgy Guys discuss the Homily, the Creed, and the Universal Prayer.

In our triumphant conclusion to the first part of the Introductory Rites in the Order of Mass, The Liturgy Guys discuss the first words spoken by the Priest to his flock... or should they be sung?

Folks, the Priest Celebrant has reached his chair, and The Liturgy Guys are on the edge of their seats (well, actually, they should be standing). This week, we discuss the significance of the Priest Celebrant's Chair.

The Liturgy Guys are back from their mid-season break to take us step by step through the Order of Mass.  We are now at the foot of the altar, where the Priest makes a profound bow, "...venerates the altar with a kiss and, if appropriate, incenses the cross and the altar. Then, with the ministers, he goes to the chair."

This week on The Liturgy Guys, Denis and Jesse go head to head in a battle of wits against Chris Carstens’ nearly unbeatable Liturgy Quiz.  But this time they have a little help.  Today’s episode was filmed in front of a live studio audience at Benedictine College.  Let’s see if D-Mac’s students have been doing their homework.   WATCH: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSrZpwgUc0I Facebook: https://fb.watch/9ZXjwOz8C0/ ExCorde: https://excorde.org/site/podcasts/liturgy-guys
