HOLY MASS IS THE SACRIFICE OF THE CROSS Only in Heaven will we understand what a divine marvel the Holy Mass is. No matter how much effort we apply and no matter how holy and inspired we are, we can only stammer if we would explain this Divine Work, which surpasses men and angels. One day Padre Pio of Pietrelcina was asked, "Father, please explain the Holy Mass to us." "My children," he replied, "how can I explain it to you? The Mass is infinite, like Jesus . . . Ask an Angel what a Mass is, and he will reply to you in truth, ‘I understand that Mass is offered and why it is offered, but its value, its worth, are beyond my comprehension.’ One Angel—a thousand angels—all of Heaven knows this and think like this." "In the Mass there is offered to God a true sacrifice, properly speaking, which is propitiatory for the living and the dead." --Pope Pius IV
