Description: The greatest problem we face both inside and outside the Church is: the loss of the sense of the sacred. In a busy and distracted society, people from all walks of life hunger for deep meaning, for the timeless, for the transcendent. They hunger for the presence of God.

We talk about it with Maggie Gallagher, who also looks at the upcoming Mass of the Americas.
