Vatican You Vol. 1, Ep. 16 "Supernatural Reality" Edition

Vatican You is beginning to wind up its episodes on Sacrosanctum Concilium with this "Supernatural Reality" edition brought to you by St. Joseph Shop in Batesville, IN considering the last two chapters on sacred music, art, and furnishings.

• Hear our hosts' favorite "Elf on the Shelf" disasters...and listen as they try to trip of Fr. Alan's 4 minute long '2 Minute Drill' by sending him messages as he gets started.
• The difference between "singing at Mass" vs. "singing the Mass" and the 'pride of place' given to liturgical music in the sacred liturgy is discussed, and how all this ties together into achieving that 'full, conscious, and active participation' the Council speaks of throughout the document.  
• On our first "Two Sides of the Same Coin" segment, our hosts discuss the liturgical year and Advent in particular from the perspective of 'cradle Catholics' (Fr. Shaun & Fr. Chris) and 'converts' (Fr. Jerry & Fr. Alan).
• And - yes - discover how these things that seem focused only on what happens 'at Church' really do have "Real Life" applications for all of us.
• Explore how everything about the liturgy is designed to sharpen our vision to help all of us see and experience the "supernatural realities" that make ordinary life an extraordinary journey.  

Stay tuned for our Sacrosanctum Concilium "wrap" show coming next, where we'll hear our hosts last words (at least for now) on this document and announce where our weekly walk through the teachings of the Church will take us next.
