The work is finished at Calvary, and that work has unlimited meaning and value. Keep your focus there." C.

It is not a re-sacrifice but rather a transcendent, continuous participation in the fullness of His sacrifice. Not only as the profound historical event that it was but as an ongoing sacramental miracle sustaining His people through His sacrifice. Our Lord sacrificed Himself but once. At His Ascension He left us each other and the Spirit of truth. The Mass is the glorious intersection and re-intersection of His sacrifice, His community and the Holy Spirit of truth. Not for His sake but for ours. ...Then He took the bread, said the blessing, broke it and gave it to them saying, "This is my body which will be given for you; do this in memory of me." And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which will be shed for you."... Luke 22 (19-20) NAB Sorry, my brother but you misrepresent the Mass.

Our Lord sacrificed Himself but once. At His Ascension He left us each other and the Spirit of truth.

The Mass is the glorious intersection and re-intersection of His sacrifice, His community and the Holy Spirit of truth.

Not for His sake but for ours.

…Then He took the bread, said the blessing, broke it and gave it to them saying, “This is my body which will be given for you; do this in memory of me.” And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which will be shed for you.”…

Evaluate it critically. Evaluate it fairly, with an open mind. After you are satisfied with your assessment attend 3 Masses. Participate reverently. Ask the Lord, if this is His Church, to reveal His presence to you. Blog about what you discover. Consider a Catholic Mass, my brother. Evaluate it critically. Evaluate it fairly, with an open mind.
