杏MAP导航: Every Mass means entering into the Risen Lord's victory
The 杏MAP导航 explained that in the Bible, a 鈥渕emorial鈥� is more than a mere remembrance of a past event; It is he said, 鈥渢he making present of that event, which enables us to share in its saving power.鈥�
Jesus, the Holy Father stressed, pours out his mercy upon us at every celebration of the Eucharist, 鈥渋n order to renew our hearts, our lives and our entire world.鈥�
Every Mass, said 杏MAP导航 Francis, is a ray of the sun where there is no sunset and participating in this celebration, especially on Sunday, means entering into the Risen Lord's victory, and being illuminated by his light鈥︹��
By making present the Lord鈥檚 paschal mystery, he continued, 鈥渢he Eucharist strengthens us to bear witness, like the martyrs of old, to his triumph over death and to love others as he does, freely giving of ourselves for their good.鈥�
Mass is not a show
The Mass, underlined the 杏MAP导航 鈥渋s not a show鈥�. We don鈥檛 chat or take photos during the celebration because it is the memorial of the Jesus鈥� Passion, which he accomplished for us, in order to free us from oppression and to enter into the promised land of eternal life.
Concluding his Catechesis, the Holy Father said, that when we enter a church to celebrate Mass, let us think about Jesus giving his life for us. 鈥淭he show disappears, the gossip, the comments and the things that lead us away from this beautiful thing, which is the Mass, the triumph of Jesus.鈥�
