Archbishop Di Noia on Why Catholics Go to Mass

Earlier this fall, Archbishop J. Augustine Di Noia, O.P., Secretary of the Congregation for Divine Worship and Discipline of the Sacraments, gave the John Carroll Lecture at Saint Matthew's Cathedral in Washington, D.C. His talk addressed why Catholics go to Mass.

Among the reasons he listed, Archbishop Di Noia stated Catholics go to Mass to be in communion with the Blessed Trinity, to participate in the unending divine life which Jesus shares with us in the Eucharist, and to become the Body of Christ (because the eucharistic Body of Christ is source of the mystical Body of Christ).
