The Mass "Il est là!" He is there!

The Mass is the best place in the world for me. Yet, I struggle with resentment and anger toward those that profane the mass, especially with a lack of respect for Christ's presence. May God humble me and help me to teach others what this dear saint knew and expressed in the power of the Holy Spirit.

Saint Jean–Marie Vianney, "All good works put together are not equivalent to the Sacrifice of the Mass, because they are the works of men and the Holy Mass is the work of God." It is in the Mass that the sacrifice of Calvary is made present for the Redemption of the world. Clearly, the priest must unite the daily gift of himself to the offering of the Mass: "How well a priest does, therefore, to offer himself to God in sacrifice every morning!"
