Roman Catholic Daily Missal 1962 Illustrated Edition Quotes

“From all time, the Canon has been recited silently. The congregation present can contribute nothing to the sacrificial act itself; the people are present before a mystery which it is for the consecrated Priest alone to accomplish. The Priest has entered alone into the Holy of Holies to pray and offer sacrifice for the whole Church.”

“The Mass is thus the perpetual prolongation of the Sacrifice made on the Cross. Consequently, every Mass is the one immolation of Christ repeated in the Act of Oblation. By the same act of the will, Jesus offers at the Last Supper His death in the future; on Cavalry His death in the present; in heaven and on the alter His death in the past.”

“Baptism is a Sacrament instituted by our Lord Jesus Christ when, after His Resurrection, He commanded His Apostles to got and teach all nations, "baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost."

The Effect of Baptism

These are: 1) To wash away original sin and all actual sins already committed. 2) To give us grace which makes us share the life of God and open heaven to us. 3) To imprint a character upon the soul which cannot be effaced, thus making it impossible for this Sacrament to be repeated. This character gives us the right to take part in divine worship i.e., in Holy Mass, Holy Communion, etc.”

“Is the Mass the same as Christ's on the Cross, or is it a different Sacrifice?

It is the same Sacrifice. Christ offered Himself once for all.”

“At the time of Mary's birth the whole world was plunged in darkness. The heathen nations were steeped in vice and pride. The Jews, too, had corrupted their ways and departed from God. Everywhere there was sin and gloom, no bright spot on the face of the earth. But when Mary was born a light arose amid the darkness; the dawn of the glorious day that was to usher in the Redeemer. So, too, the darkness of the sinner's soul is dispersed by Mary's holy influence. Where the love of her is born in the soul, all becomes full of light, and Jesus comes to make His habitation there. Mary, in the first hour of her life, brought more glory to God then all the Saints of the Old Testament. In her were made perfect the obedience of Abraham, the chastity of Joseph, the patience of Job, the meekness of Moses, the prudence of Josue. It is because she is the model and pattern of these and all other virtues that she can communicate them to us. (September 8 The Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary)”

“The Holy Mass is the unbloody sacrifice of the New Law in which the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ is offered to God under the species of bread and wine.

The Holy Mass is the sacrifice of the cross, without the bloodsheeding. On the stone of the altar and on the wood of the cross, the same Priest, Jesus Christ, dedicates the same sacrifice, His Holy Body and Blood. If this was always borne in mind, with what deep respect Mass should be attended. In the Holy Sacrifice, Jesus, the Second Person of the Holy Trinity, is Victim and Sacrificer; and by this the Holy Mass has an immense value in itself. The merits and fruits of the Holy Mass are shared to a fixed and limited degree by the faithful according to God's free will and to the fervor of our faith, love, and piety.”

“The Host and the Chalice upon the alter plead before God on our behalf just as our Lord sacrificed on the Cross pleaded for us on Good Friday because it is identically the same sacrifice which is renewed on our alters in an unbloody manner.”

“The commingling of the Sacred Body and Blood symbolically expresses that in reality on the alter the Body and Blood are not separate, but under each species the whole Christ is present as one sacrificial gift and one sacrificial food. It tells us also of the Resurrection, in which His Body and Blood were again united and vivified; the Lamb that was slain now lives eternally.”
