In today’s episode, we tackle a fundamental question with Father Mark White: why is it recommended to arrive early for Mass? Together with co-host Allison DeLule, we explore the importance of preparing ourselves spiritually before Mass begins and the deeper significance of taking time to quiet our hearts. Father White shares insights on how Catholics are a people of preparation—through Advent, Lent, and even in our daily lives. He explains how arriving early allows us to transition from the distractions of daily life into the sacred space of the Mass, ready to encounter Christ in the Eucharist.
We also dive into practical tips for families, balancing the chaos of life with the discipline of arriving early. Whether it’s turning off the radio on the drive to church or spending a few quiet minutes in the pew, this episode offers invaluable advice on how to truly prepare your heart for one of the most important moments of the week.
