class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Introduction<\/em>:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Ecclesia 2026, we will walk through the Liturgy with Bishop Robert Barron and be transformed through insights on this most privileged and intimate encounter with our Lord Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">See how the Mass brings us out of the fallen world and into the heavenly realm, how it resonates with a call from God and a response from his people, the Church, and, most importantly, how we are intimately joined with the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus through the Holy Eucharist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Mass\u201d will help you understand how to fully, consciously, and actively participate in the source and summit of the Christian life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Ecclesia 2026<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">All sessions take place in the Holy
