What is Mass?
The Mass is not merely a ritual; it is a profound encounter with Christ. It is described as a "memorial" in the biblical sense, meaning that it makes the events of Christ's Passion, death, and resurrection present and real to the faithful. This understanding of "memorial" emphasizes that the Mass is a participation in the eternal sacrifice of Christ, rather than a mere recollection of past events
The Eucharist, celebrated during the Mass, is seen as the "sacrificial memorial" where the faithful receive Christ Himself. This communion is essential for spiritual nourishment and unity with Christ and the Church
