the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass
The Mass is the greatest prayer. The celebration of Mass makes present for us the Mystery of Christ’s Passion, Death and Resurrection. It is the source and summit of our lives in Christ.
It is at the consecration of the Mass that the sacrament of the Holy Eucharist comes into being. It is then that Jesus becomes present under the appearance of bread and wine. No one is a mere spectator at Mass. All of the baptized are invited to participate in the Sacred Mysteries by full, conscious, and active participation!
