Actually, not quite. The Mass has the power to take the congregation to a different space/time, so everyone in the congregation is experiencing the original crucification

Who would want to experience His crucifixion??? Other than the people that wanted Him dead???

The Apostles didn't want to experience Jesus' crucifixion, and they didn't...They all left...They wanted no part of the crucifixion...

That shows us that if your sacrifice was the real deal, and the Apostles were alive, they'd walk out of your church everytime you pulled out the wafers...

Peter wouldn't be caught dead in your church during one of your Masses...

Whole lotta people went to Mel Gibson's movie. Meditating on His suffering is supposed to help us realize what He went through on our behalf.
