Jews say of the passover ”why is THIS night different from all others...this is what the LORD has done for ME”, not for my ancestors on some night long ago in history. The Lamb Who IS Slain From Before the Foundation of the World offers Himself in sacrifice both within and outside of time, is able and does so will to permit us to share in that and this one true perpetual sacrifice. Who can tell Him ”you can’t do that”?

[agere_contra]

At the Mass we are present at the sacrifice of the Lamb. Not a repeat. Not an echo.

Christ's sacrifice is once and for all. At the Mass - faithful to his command - we become engaged with, we become part of His sacrifice, part of His Passion.

Think! The Passion of God is the greatest event in time and in eternity! God is not bound to time and space, and His great act of salvation is not tied up in a corner, hostage to a moment in time. Rather, it fills time like water fills a river. We just need to reach out and touch it.

Christ commands us to eat His Body and drink His Blood. His life, His death and His resurrection - the most important events that ever were or ever could be - are waiting for us at Mass.

Hope this is helpful.

A tremendous amount of space trying to discredit 2,000 years of Christian teaching and trying to justify a VERY bad decision.....
