Why go to Mass on Sunday? Certainly not just to follow a ritual. As Pope Francis says, “If you are the same at the end of Mass as you were at the beginning, something is wrong.” This is because “the Eucharist is the presence of Jesus,” who “comes and must transform you.” This is how Pope Francis begins the video with the prayer intention for July, produced by the Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network, with the help of the Archdiocese of Detroit.
