The Mass is the center and kernel of Catholic worship; without it our
faith would die, as it does in those who willfully miss their obligation of
attendance at Mass.
Those who have so often tried to stamp out the Church have understood this
well, for they have always advocated abolishing the Mass. Yet with the Mass we have 'the
power of God and the wisdom of God' which nothing can restrain. For the
Holy Eucharist is not only a sacrament, it is also a sacrifice, the renewal of
the Sacrifice of Mount Calvary, whereby the infinite fruits of that sacrifice
are applied to our souls.
Father Desmond Murray, O.P.
