Mass for the Living

“No human tongue can enumerate the favors that trace back to the Sacrifice of the Mass. The sinner is reconciled with God; the just man becomes more upright; sins are wiped away; vices are uprooted; virtue and merit increases; and the devil’s schemes are frustrated.” – St. Lawrence Justinian

Like Saint Lawrence’s quote above, the saints agreed that the power of the Holy Mass is unfathomable and that graces flowing from the Mass are immeasurable. The reason is because the Holy Mass is an extension of the loving sacrifice of Christ’s death on the cross. This is why, when we participate in the Holy Mass or sponsor a Holy Mass, it is most powerful. The Holy Mass is a spiritual treasure that extends into eternity. When you invest in a Holy Mass for a loved one, they yield spiritual blessings in this life and eternity. In Matthew 6:19-21, Christ challenges us to “store up treasures in heaven.” Let us always remember to be fully devoted to the Holy Mass, because it’s truly life’s most valuable treasure.
