The final session takes us back to where we started, with the end of the Mass, the final ritual, our command to “Go In Peace to Love and Serve the Lord.”  Why do we go to Mass, and what difference does it make in our lives?  What have we learned about the Mass in this past year that is not just to feed ourselves, but to feed others, to live as Christ lived, strengthened by our gathering week after week?
