WHY I MUST ATTEND HOLY MASS DAILY  
 THE MASS IS CALVARY CONTINUED
 

God Governs The world - Holy Mass The Best Prayer Governs God

"The Holy Mass is the most perfect form of prayer" - Pope Paul VI 

For each Holy Mass we attend with devotion, Our Lord sends a Saint to comfort us at death.  (revelation of Jesus Christ to St. Gertrude the Great) Padre Pio the Stigmatic priest, said, that the "world could exist more easily without the sun than without the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass". 

The Cure of Ars, St. John Vianney said "If we knew the value of Holy Mass we would die of Joy". 

A great doctor of the Church, St. Anselm declared that a single Holy Mass offered for oneself during life may be worth more than a thousand celebrated for the same intention after death. 

St. Leonard of Port Maurice supported this statement by saying that one Holy Mass before death may be more profitable than many after it. 

 

The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass would be of greater profit if people had it offered in their life-time, rather than having it celebrated for the relief of their souls after death
[Pope Benedict XVI]. 

Once, St. Teresa was overwhelmed with God's Goodness and asked our Lord: "How can I thank You? Our Lord replied "Attend one Holy Mass." 

The Blessed Virgin Mary once told Her faithful servant Alain: "My Son so loves those who participate in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, that if it were necessary He would die for them as many times as they attended the Masses." page 107, last Para of "Explanation du Sainte Sacrifice De La Messe" parle R. P. Martin de Cechem Friere Mineur Capucin.

"PRAY FOR PRIESTS THAT THEY OFFER THE MASS WITH HOLY LOVE AND REVERENCE."

 PRAYER TO OBTAIN THE GRACES OF ALL THE WORLD'S MASSES 

Eternal Father we humbly offer Thee our poor presence and that of the whole of humanity from the beginning to the end of the World at ALLTHE HOLYMASSES OFFERED and ever will be offered.  We offer thee all the pains, sufferings, prayers, sacrifices, joys and relaxations of our lives, in union with those of our dear Lord Jesus here on earth.  May the Most Precious Blood of Christ, all His Blood and wounds and agonies save us, through the sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, Amen.

If the wordings ask us, "Why do you go to Mass very often or everyday?" Let us tell them, that it is to learn to love God, to be purified from our imperfections, to be delivered from our miseries, to be consoled in our afflictions and to be strengthened in our weaknesses - to turn away from evil and to do good. 

Jesus answered them, "it is not the healthy, who need the doctor, but the sick.  I have not come to call the virtuous, but sinners to repentance." (St. Mark 2:17, St. Luke 5:31,32).  Being imperfect, feeble and sick we need to unite with Jesus in the Eucharist, our strength and our physician. 

It is said that when St. Thomas More was Chancellor of England, some of his friends reproached him for going to Confession and receiving Holy Communion too often, considering the great number of his occupations.  He answered that he required help and strength from His Lord and Master to enable him to fulfill his many commitments.

Will you give 2% of 1440 minutes each day to God ? If so, try to participate in the Mass Daily when you can.  It takes about 30 minutes - 2% of 24 hours.  Yes, we have no time.  We pass through life running - worried, frantic, jostled and never get there.  Have no time.  FINALLY DYING - NO - TOO LATE! NO MORE TIME!! So, USE THE TIME YOU HAVE NOW - PARTICIPATE IN HOLY MASS OFTEN AND POSSIBLY EVERY DAY WHILE YOU ARE STILL ALIVE.
 

PRAISE THE LORD
