When the Host is held on high and a chalice lifted…look up! Look up and
see what Mary saw. See a naked man
squirming as He bleeds against a blackened sky; see a battered human body,
writhing on a tree, prisoned there by savage spikes that have torn through
Sacred hands and feet; see thorn-tortured head tossing from side to side as
anguished torso labors, lifts and strains; see the eyes of God roll towards
heaven beseeching, as broken lips blurt out that soul piercing cry: “My God, My
God, Why has Thou forsaken Me?” What is this?
This is the Mass. This is Crucifixion. This is what Mary saw at the elevation of
Christianity’s first Mass. This is what you should see at the Elevation
of every Mass!
Father M. Raymond, O.C.S.O.
