Where is the Mass in the Bible - Scott Hahn

Scott HahnThe question ¿where is the mass in the Bible? isn’t correct, the question might better be rephrased ¿Where isn´t the mass in the Bible? The Bible is all about the church's worship is chock full of the Bible. Fundamentalists are often surprised that the typical Catholic Mass includes far more scripture than their own Sunday worship.

As you move from the Old testament into the New Testament you see a radical redefinition of the religion in the ancient Israel, because now you have not a temple on earth made by humans, but a temple in heaven that is the resurrected body of Christ, not a high priest from the line of Aaron but a high priest who is a king and a priest like Melchizedek, Christ himself, not sacrifices of animals but the Eucharistic sacrifice of our High Priest who is now raised in glory…

The Marriage Supper of the Lamb and the Mass – John Bergsma

Dr. John BergsmaDr. John Bergsma talks about the mass as marriage supper, and the square brides and sheepish grooms in scripture. Dr. John Bergsma is a theology professor at Franciscan University.

John 1:29 The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

Rev 19:6-9 Then I heard what seemed to be the voice of a great multitude, like the sound of many waters and like the sound of mighty thunderpeals, crying, "Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns. (7) Let us rejoice and exult and give him the glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his Bride has made herself ready; (8) it was granted her to be clothed with fine linen, bright and pure" for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints. (9) And the angel said to me, "Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb." And he said to me, "These are true words of God."

The Mass Explained - Fr. Larry Richards

Father Larry Richards
Fr. Larry Richards explains the biblical foundations of the Mass which God created as a sacrament of great importance.

If you don´t go to mass is because you don´t realize that it´s costing God´s his life. God is giving everything for love to us and right from the very beginning, since the creation on time, since the fall of men, God is always been preparing us for this great sacrament.

Gen 22:2-8. He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Mori'ah, and offer him there as a burnt offering upon one of the mountains of which I shall tell you." (3) So Abraham rose early in the morning, saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and his son Isaac; and he cut the wood for the burnt offering, and arose and went to the place of which God had told him. (4) On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw the place afar off. (5) Then Abraham said to his young men, "Stay here with the ass; I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you." (6) And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it on Isaac his son; and he took in his hand the fire and the knife. So they went both of them together. (7) And Isaac said to his father Abraham, "My father!" And he said, "Here am I, my son." He said, "Behold, the fire and the wood; but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?" (8) Abraham said, "God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son." So they went both of them together.

The Secrets of the Eucharist - Vinny Flynn

Vinny Flynn
Vinny Flynn talk about “The Secrets of the Eucharist” Based on the book "The 7 Secrets of the Eucharist"
  • Jesus is alive
  • Christ is not alone
  • There is only one mass
  • It is not just one miracle
  • We don´t just receive
  • Every reception of communion is different
  • There is no limit to the number of time you can receive
This is the first Mary Foundation talk based on a book. Pope John Paul II referred to the Holy Eucharist as "the greatest treasure of the Church," and yet most practicing Catholics have received very little in-depth or inspirational theological insight about this critical aspect of our spiritual lives since our school days.

Mr. Flynn's "secrets" are actually a series of surprising principles, insights, and "hidden" truths, presented together for the first time in one exciting talk. All seven secrets are based on truths found in the Bible, the writings of the Saints, the Catechism, and recent teachings of Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict. These truths have always been embraced by the saints, Church Fathers, theologians, and mystics, but have never before been presented together, and rarely in such a meaningful and accessible way.

This talk also includes two "bonus secrets" about Our Lady's relationship to the Eucharist which are not found in Vinny Flynn's book. Vinny Flynn will show you how reception of the Eucharist can be a life-changing experience the very next time you receive Holy Communion.
John 6:53-56 So Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you; (54) he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. (55) For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. (56) He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him.

Depth Understanding of the Eucharist - Scott Hahn

Scott HahnDr. Scott Hahn overviews the scriptural and theological foundation for the sacrament of the Eucharist in the Sacrifice of the Mass and the liturgical unity of the Last Supper with Good Friday (Bible Study also known as "The Fourth Cup").

Matthew 26:26-30 Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, "Take, eat; this is my body." (27) And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, saying, "Drink of it, all of you; (28) for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. (29) I tell you I shall not drink again of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom." (30) And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
