Daily Thoughts - The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass
"The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ?" 1 Corinthians 10:16
I sit with Paul this morning in the daily readings and listen to him explain the Catholic mass. He celebrated mass with the Jews who were now following Christ. He explains the difference of the animal sacrifice the Jews performed and the mass that we still celebrate today.
I wonder what was it about the Jewish celebration that had changed for him. He was a very devout Jew and killed Christian's for their believes in following Christ. Had it become commercialized and all about self, people being the ones worshipped and not the one True God being worshipped. His life had been transformed by Jesus, what did Paul see when he raises up the body and blood of Jesus in the mass.
We have to look beyond the words written in the pages and see what they see. The same can be said for us when we go to worship. Is it about worshipping God or is it about feeding the flesh. Have a blessed day with Christ!!
Dear Father, You are at work within and I love You for that. You see me as I am and yet You still love me. I thank You for the blessings that You are pouring out within through the gifts of Your Holy Spirit. Each day is a new day with a new opportunity, I look forward to see what it has to offer. Prayers of thanksgiving for being a witness to Your saving grace, Amen.
Mary, the Flame of Love, Pray for us.
Saint Joesph, Pray for us.
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
