Why Bother to Attend Holy Mass?
Apart from obeying a precept of Mother Church, what is the purpose for attending Holy Mass? Christ lives in Heaven interceding for us principally by His sacrifice on Calvary. Holy Mass is the exact projection of this continual sacrifice. At Holy Mass, we are united to Christ. If temporal food gives life to the body, Heavenly Food gives gives life to the soul. For Mass and Holy Communion we must fix an intention at the Offertory; we must unite ourselves to the priest. The Catechism of the Council of Trent: "Holy Communion is an antidote for our daily faults." Our Lord wants to know what He can do for us. Ask Him to arrange our souls and spiritual lives so they please Him. Comments on making a GOOD thanksgiving from St. Teresa, St. Peter Julian Eymard and St. Alphonsus Ligouri. For more please go to www.romans10seventeen.org & please say 3 Hail Marys for the priest
