THE HOLY MASS IS YOUR LIFE!

The rational man needs the Mass to pay Almighty God the debt of homage and adoration he owes Him.  The grateful man needs the Mass to pay his debt of thanksgiving.  The sinful man, and who among us is without sin, needs the mass to propitiate God's justice and to pay his debt`of satisfaction.
 
The needy man needs the Mass, that praying with Jesus Christ and through Him, he may offer a prayer that is worthy of being heard and, thus, discharge his duty and debt of petition.
 
At the hour of death, the Masses you have heard will be your greatest consolation.  Every Mass will go with you to judgment and plead for pardon.  At every Mass, you can diminish the temporal punishment due to your sins.  Assisting devoutly at Mass, you render the Sacred Humanity of Jesus, the greatest homage.  He supplies for many of your negligence's and omissions.  He forgives you all the venial sins you are determined to avoid.  He forgives you all the unknown sins you have never confessed.  The power of Satan over you is diminished.
 
By hearing Mass, you afford the Souls in Purgatory the greatest possible relief.  One Mass heard by you, during life, will be of more benefit to you than many heard for you after death.
 
Holy Mass preserves you from many dangers and misfortunes that would otherwise befall you.  You shorten your Purgatory by every Mass.  You win for yourself a higher degree of glory in Heaven.  At Mass, you kneel amidst a multitude of angels who are present at the adorable Sacrifice with reverential awe.  You receive the priest's blessing which Our Lord Himself ratifies in Heaven... you are blessed in your temporal goods and affairs.
 
"If you ask the Father anything in My Name, He will give it to you."
