May God himself, the God of
peace,
sanctify you through
and through. - I Thes 5:23
"The Mass is
said in order that the whole Church and the whole
of our life may become a Mass, may become Christ's sacrifice always present on
earth. St Francis de Sales resolved that he would spend the whole day preparing
to say Mass, so that whenever anyone asked him what he was doing, he might
always answer, "I am preparing for Mass." We also could resolve to make our
whole lives a participation in the divine mystery of the Redemption, so that
when anyone puts the question to us, we can always answer, "I am saying the
Mass.
Francois Xavier Durrwell (1912- 2005)
French Redemptorist priest and renowned
theologian
