O Priest of God, celebrate this
Mass
as if it is your first
Mass,
your last Mass, your only
Mass. ”
Bl Mother Teresa of Calcutta
Saint Josemaría Escriva taught, and he himself lived,
a
radical dedication of one’s life to God in the holy Mass.
"We should love the Mass
and make it the center of our day. If we attend Mass well,
surely we are likely to think about our Lord during the rest of the day, wanting
to be always in His presence, ready to work as He worked and love as He loved."
(Christ Passing By, 154)
“Let us ask our Lord, then, to make us souls devoted
to the blessed Eucharist, so that our relationship with Him
brings forth joy and serenity and a desire for justice. In this way we will make
it easier for others to recognize Christ; we will put Christ at the center of
all human activities. And Jesus’ promise will be fulfilled: ‘I, when I am lifted
up from the earth, will draw all men to myself.'" (Christ Passing
By,156)
