00:30:00 In this section, the speaker explains the role of the sacred candle and the empty tabernacle in the church. The candle signifies the presence of Christ, and the tabernacle is usually never empty, except on Good Friday when there are reserved hosts.

The Mass, therefore, is seen as a formal dance where the Trinity is our partner and the wider community are the participants, all having a part, participating, and assisting one another.

The speaker then asks the audience to turn to Matthew 18:20 and reminds them that two or three are gathered in Jesus' name.
00:50:00 In this section of the video, the priest sets up the introductory rites and Liturgy of the Word. The gathering starts with Christ being brought forward and the priest acting in place of Christ. During this gathering, there is a sanctifying water that can take place, usually done by the bishop, at the beginning of the mass. Followed by the penitential right, where attendees confess and apologize for their shortcomings and request help from God. The penitential right is then followed by the Kyrie, a prayer for mercy. This is followed by the Gloria, which is sung every Sunday and is a song of praise.
00:55:00 In this section, the speaker discusses the importance of the Liturgy of the Word and the role of the lector.

They emphasize the importance of eye contact and making the readings engaging to keep the congregation's attention. The speaker also shares their love for a particular Old Testament reading and suggests that making the readings come alive can be a gratifying experience.

The prayers are a way of praying for assistance and the needs of the whole world. During the Liturgy of the Word, the congregation is reminded that they are one and that when they say "Lord, hear our prayer," it is a united prayer, not individual ones. The Liturgy of the Eucharist is the second half of the mass, and it is divided into two sections, just like how the first Christians went to synagogue to listen to the word and then to someone's home for the Eucharist.

01:30:00 In this section, the speaker discusses the importance of giving offerings during Mass and how some people may take offerings for themselves. He mentions the story of Cain and Abel to explain the significance of bringing the best of one's crops or flock as an offering to the Lord. As the altar is being set and offerings are being made, the priest blesses the crew of water that the altar boy hands him, and the wine is poured into the Chalice.

The prayer is a call to unite with the priest in addressing the father through Jesus Christ, reminding viewers that during the Eucharistic prayer, it is not the priest standing on the altar but rather Jesus Christ himself.
