We can think of the Mass as a thanksgiving sacrifice and a remembrance, but not as "merely" a thanksgiving sacrifice or a "bare" remembrance, to use the words of Trent.

It is primarily a propitiatory sacrifice. In the Mass, Jesus Christ is the high Priest, the sacrificial Lamb, and the Altar of sacrifice.

We do not offer Jesus to God as a sacrifice for our sins.

Jesus laid His own life down Himself.

He did not come to offer Himself to us to offer back to God as a sacrifice for our sins in the same manner as the Jews offered a real, physical lamb.

Thanks to you both; Is it not amazing and profound, that a Catholic brother or sister, even a lapsed or rebellious one, would still have the imprint and concern to warn another pilgrim in the mountain passes from the slippery precipice lest he stray and fall ?
