The Catholic Funeral Service Quotes

“Sacrifice of the Mass. It is the same as the sacrifice of the cross. Christ is the Victim and the Priest at Mass as He was the Victim and Priest on the cross. The ends of the Mass are the same as those of the sacrifice of the cross: Adoration of God as our Lord and Creator, Thanksgiving for His many favors, Petitioning Him to bestow His Blessings on all men, Satisfying the justice of God for sins committed against Him. The manner of offering alone is different. On the cross, Christ really shed His Blood and was really slain. In the Mass there is no shedding of His blood nor physical death, since Christ can die no more.”

“Missal Written in Latin Why? Because Latin is the Official and Liturgical Language of the Church. Being a dead language Latin words undergo no variation of meaning in the course of time as do the words of a living language. Hence, the dead language crystalizes the form of the principle doctrines of the Church.”
