The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is a continuation of Our Lord's sacrifice on the Cross. His sacrifice on the Cross, merited our redemption. And the sacrifice of the Mass applies the fruits of Calvary to souls on earth and in purgatory.
"The dead are aided by alms, by the prayers of the Church, and by the Sacrifice of the Mass."
St. Augustine
German translation -
"Lord, grant them eternal rest, and may eternal light shine upon them!"

There is no prayer that is greater than the Holy Mass. The Mass is the greatest prayer of all.
ReplyDeleteJohn - Thank you for all your translations. I hope to get them posted as soon as possible. It's good to be back again.
ReplyDeleteGina - Thank you. I'm happy that you are posting comments...it means a lot and keeps me motivated.
Ed - You are so right. I wish everyone could read that statement.
No such thing as purgatory. This is an unbiblical doctrine. I challenge you to find it in the Bible. God Bless.
