The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass

Whenever we come to celebrate the Mass we are never alone. Whether Mass is offered in some grand basilica or a humble parish church the fact remains that it is the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass – It is the Sacrifice of Christ. The Lord of Heaven and Earth present upon the altar.

We are joined at every celebration by the angels and saints who worship before the throne of God in heaven. During this time of lockdown when I have had to celebrate the Mass with only one other person in church I have often had to remind myself of this fact.

A short film entitled ‘The Veil Removed’ in a stylised way portrays to us this reality. You may wish to have a look at the film by clicking on the link below.
