An elderly woman entered a butcher shop asking for a little food. Unable to pay, she offered something instead: she would attend Mass for the butcher and pray for him.
What happened when they tried to determine the value of that Mass became the heart of a remarkable story—one that would later inspire Josephine Nobisso's beloved children's book The Weight of a Mass.
In this episode, Cyndi and Aimee share The Old Woman, the Butcher & the Captain and reflect on the profound Catholic truth at the center of the story: the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass has a value that cannot be measured by anything this world can offer.
It's easy for something as familiar as Sunday Mass to become ordinary to us. This story invites us to see it again with new eyes.
How differently would we approach the Mass if we truly understood the gift being placed before us?
