Here's something that I talk about. I might talk about this more than anything else. I'm not sure if this is the case.

It's on my heart so often that I need to finally make an essential presents video about this.

My name is fellow Mike Spitz and this is the Central Presents in the course of my life, in the course Ascension I get anything out of it and I would say I hear you.

I've said this.

I go to mass I don't get anything out of it.

Usually if I'm in a group of people I'll be like, hey raise your hand if you've ever

said this or

heard someone say this. I don't get anything out of mass and it's like a hundred

percent. Everyone is either said it themselves or they've heard someone say this.

And typically if you know you're with some people who want to help

you they will say mmm mmm mmm listen listen you get out of it what you put

into it it's like the masses of Jan sport backpack right what you get out of it's what you put into it. It's like the masses of Jansport backpack, right? What you get out of it is what you put into it.

And that's not wrong. Like that's not false, it's not untrue. It's one of the reasons why the Second

Vatican Council said encouraged the full and active participation in the Mass.

That sense of, hey, if you're engaged, if you put your heart into it, you're going to get a lot

out of it.

It's one of the reasons why I encourage people to read

the mass readings before they go to mass. It's why I encourage a lot of people to

bring a notebook with them when they're at mass because the Lord's speaking to

to us through his word and so you can you can get a lot out of that.

So in some ways you're not wrong. What you get out of it is what you put into it.

But that answer misses the heart of what the mass is.
