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.

I sense these Novenas are beginning to bear fruit.
