3. To thank the infinite liberality of God, Who requires
an infinite return for all the favors bestowed upon His
creatures.
4. To petition the infinite goodness of God, Whom
nothing but a pleading of infinite value can move to grant
us all needful blessins.
When Jesus Cbrjst by.the Holy Ghwt offee Himself
unsmtted to (30d on Mount Chlvary. He pa~d infinite
adomtion to the divine majesty, gave-infiniti satisfaction
to the divine justice, made an infinite return to the divine
liberality and movd the divine goodness by an appeal of
infidte e5cacy.
Now in Haly Maes, Jesus places Himself entirely in
yaur hands, tLt you may offOr to God the same great
sacrifice of infinite value for the same most excelfeat ends,
in your behalf as well as for others, whkther living or dead.
For dl who devoutly assist at Holy .Maw are made one with
fhe priest, and along with him pr-t to heaven the ador.
able sacrifice. What would you, therefore, do without
the Holy Mass?
"Holy Mass is the wn hf Christianity, the soul of faith.
the cenbr of h Catbol~c religion, thr-gmnd object of all
her rates, ceremonies, and sacranwnts, in a word, it is s
summaty of all that is grand and beautiful in the Churcb of
God." -ST. LJ#NABLI d Port Maurice.
"When a priest celebrates Holy Maas, he horn God,
he rejoices the angels, he edifies the Church, he helps the
living, he obtains rest for the departed, and makes himself
partaker of all blessioga - FoUawir qi ChA.
With the view, therefore, that 80d may receive from
His creatures that clean oblation which alone is w~Jy
of Alm, and that the faithful be not deprived of the immense
benefit of the same adorable sacrifice, Holy Church commands
her children under ain of grievous sin to hear Mass
on all Sundays and holyjays of obligation. But, surely,
no Catholic who has any right idea of the im rtance and
value of Holy Mass will remain satisfied with tEs. He will
attend Holy Mass as'often as, he canon weekdays as well
