Prayers for all Occasions, Needs, and Intentions

HOLY MASS - A SACRIFICE OR CELEBRATION

The Catholic Mass

WHY SHOULD I GO TO MASS?

"The Mass is the most perfect form of prayer!"

For each Mass we hear with devotion, Our Lord sends a saint to comfort us at death.

Padre Pio, the stigmatic priest, said, the world could exist more easily without the sun than without the Mass.

The Cure'd Ars, St. Jean Vianney said, if we knew the value of the Mass we would die of joy.

GRACES DERIVED FROM ASSISTING AT MASS

The Mass is Calvary continued.

Every Mass is worth as much as the sacrifice of Our Lord's Life, suffering and death.

Holy Mass is the most powerful atonement for your sins.

At the hour of death the Masses you have heard will be your greatest consolation.

Every Mass will go with you to judgment and plead for pardon.

At Mass you can diminish more or less temporal punishment due to your sins, according to your fervor.

Assisting devoutly at Holy Mass you render to the sacred humanity of Our Lord greatest homage.

He supplies for many of your negligence and omission.

He forgives the venial sins which you have not confessed. The power of Satan over you is diminished.

You afford the souls in Purgatory the greatest possible relief.

One Mass heard during life will be of more benefit to you than many heard for you after your death.

You are persevered from dangers and misfortunes which otherwise might have befallen you. You shorten your Purgatory.

Every Mass wins for you a higher degree of glory in Heaven.

You receive the priest's blessing which Our Lord ratifies in Heaven.

You kneel amidst a multitude of holy angels, who are present at the adorable Sacrifice with reverential awe.

You are blessed in your temporal goods and affairs.
