3. Thanksgiving
4. Reconciliation
5. Healing
6. Nourishment
7. Guidance
8. Embrace
9. Community
10. Celebration
Each chapter concludes with the authors' adaptation of a psalm, questions for personal reflection or discussion in a small group, and a guided spiritual exercise.

Praise
“Reeves and Gasslein begin with what is central to our faith—the Eucharist—and provide insights and challenges in our most ancient form of passing on the faith—story telling. In doing so, their methodology takes the reader through a gentle and revelatory journey of conversion and increased reverence.”
Tom Powers, S.J. , Executive Director Graduate Programs of Pastoral Ministries and Counseling Psychology, Santa Clara University
“Why do Catholics go to Mass? Nancy Reeves and Bernadette Gasslein asked them and their answers are so diverse that they can only be described as 'catholic'—as in 'all over the place.' This is a good thing; for the Mass is what we need, when we need it.”
Gregory F. Augustine Pierce , Author of The Mass Is Never Ended
