Msgr. Robert Dempsey joins Patrick in studio to discuss the Beauty of the Liturgy
(4:58) What does liturgy mean?
How is the liturgy primarily an act of God?
What is worship?
(13:55) Alex - People responding verbally during the Mass. Sometimes they respond loudly and other times softly. Is there anything official on this?

(21:29) Break 1
Natalia - How verifiable is it (the liturgy) that it hasn't changed from the original? Even going back to the Old Testament (translations).
(27:06) Email about who put together the Mass as we now celebrate it?
(31:11) Patrick - New pastor that refuses to continue with the use of incense during Mass. How can I speak to him about this?
Henry - Our new priest, during the peace offering goes into the Lamb of God and doesn't allow for the sign of peace. Wanted your opinion/more info on this.

(39:06) Break 2
Can you use incense during the liturgy of the hours at home?
(45:15) Jim - The liturgy and how it's celebrated. Sometimes it seems so far off the rubrics. What is the right response for me internally in that situation? Do I offer it up?
