An exciting and new Catholic resource has just been created as a tool for people of all faiths to better understand the richness and beauty of the Catholic Mass.
 
“The Catholic Mass…Revealed!” offers visitors the opportunity to explore and learn more about the mass through four different forms of media – DVD, commentary CD, music soundtrack and booklet, which compose the collection.
 
The website and four-piece collection are the creation of a Catholic media company called Thy Kingdom Come, Inc. based in Atlanta, Georgia. Thy Kingdom Come (TKC) is a new, Non-profit (501c3) Catholic publisher committed to providing works in a variety of media, including books, DVDs, CDs, and the Internet.   

Readers of the Regnum Christi bulletin Mission will receive a special discount price for the package by entering the code MISSION.

 “One of the key motivations for this project was to represent the Source and Summit of our [the Catholic] faith in a very beautiful way,” said James DuBos, president of Thy Kingdom Come.
 
“The Catholic Mass…Revealed!” project took nine months to complete and the website launched and began selling the Mass collection on February 2, 2007. On this day the Catholic Church celebrated the feast of the presentation of Jesus Christ in the temple.
 
The four components of the collection are beautifully crafted and of the highest production value. The DVD breaks the mass down into unique chapters where each mass part is clearly and beautifully explained. The audio commentary provides an extended explanation of each part of the Mass. The Soundtrack contains original Liturgical compositions, as well as many familiar public domain Catholic hymns in both Latin and English languages. The booklet comprises 100 full-color pages providing pictures alongside the text.

Fr. Eamonn Shelly LC, participated in the project and said, “to be part of a project which has as a goal to explain to the faithful the splendor of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass has been for me, as a priest, a privilege and blessing. It has helped me personally to deepen my faith in this awesome mystery.”
The material is presented in an easy to understand language and format. During every chapter, three points are communicated to the audience. There is a core doctrinal point that is emphasized, an historical point about that particular moment in the mass and an action point, whereby the reader is moved to a point of action.
 
“I feel the Holy Spirit was drawing me to do this project. This collection is simply a reflection of my own conversion experience. Each of us needs to have our faith rekindled and the Eucharist is what will sustain us in our lives. ’ ” said DuBos.
 
 The project has received an Nihil Obstat and Imprimatur, recognizing the collection is free from doctrinal or moral error.  In his letter to Thy Kingdom Come, Archbishop Wilton Gregory of the Archdiocese of Atlanta and past president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, said, “It is my hope that this praiseworthy effort will become a resource to help people to deepen their knowledge and love of the Catholic mass.”

This collection will be invaluable to dioceses and parishes as a resource for ministries ranging from CCD, Ministers of the Eucharist, RCIA to liturgical committees.
 
“The focus of this work and what we are trying to convey is simply a resource to help people come closer to Christ. We hope people will gather in small groups to discuss the Mass and the Eucharist,” said DuBos.
 
These materials will inspire the faithful to reflect further upon the Eucharist and bring about a greater understanding for the mass. The collection retails for $39.99 and is available for purchase through the website. A special promotion is going on until Easter and the collection can be purchased at a discount.
 
“Regardless of where you are in your faith journey, you will get something out of this explanation. It is my hope that this project will renew your love for the mass and Eucharist, bring you closer to Christ, and be used as a means for evangelization,” said DuBos.
