Notes:  Growing up I think that my parents did their best as did my local church to instill in me our shared Catholic faith, its teachings and traditions.  However, what was available was limited at best.  Which resulted in, what I feel, only a basic/cursory formation and a lack of understanding of what the Catholic Church is and represents.  Even the most basics of the Holy Mass were not fully taught.  What a great misfortune!

I would like to share with you Ascension Press Podcast, Mass in a Month.  As stated on their web site:
https://app.ascensionpress.com/podcasts/8ad1390e-303a-4a65-8b9a-1262e076b0cb?episodeId=7bed2930-3a4c-4a99-819b-0834f0db689e

The Mass in a Month, a 31-episode podcast designed to walk listeners through every part of the Mass in bite-sized daily reflections. The series offers both foundational teaching and practical preparation for new and lifelong Catholics to fully participate in the Mass.
Reminiscent of Ascension’s popular “In A Year” podcasts, The Mass in a Month systematically guides listeners through every part of the liturgy, helping them know what to do, what to pray, and how to enter more deeply into the mystery being celebrated.

I have have found it very insightful and inspiring.  Even if you have moved away from the Catholic Church, I think that this podcast offers something to all Christians.  I hope that you will give it a listen.
