During the Offertory at Mass, something deeper is happening than a collection or setting the altar. Bread and wine are brought forward, and with them, we offer our work, our suffering, and our whole lives to God. This moment prepares the sacrifice of the Mass and invites us to unite ourselves to what will soon become the Eucharist. Understanding the offertory helps us participate in Mass more intentionally, not just watch it happen. #CatholicMass #Offertory
