Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Holy Mass. ‍

Today let us contemplate the glory and importance of Holy Mass. In the Holy Mass, our savior Jesus himself is both the offering and the main celebrant. So while offering mass it is ideal to consider the celebrant priest as Jesus himself and not as a human being. By celebrating the holy mass, the priest offers an offering that is very pleasing to God.

Holy mass is an ineffable gift where we are privileged to offer thanksgiving for all the blessings we have received, repent for all our sins and plead for all the necessary goodness. But when we think about the outrages and sacrileges of humans against this gift, it is impossible not to love and pray to the Sacred Heart in reparation. It is apt to mention here the words of Jesus to a saint: "I feel this more than all that I suffered during My passion. If only they would make Me some return for My Love, I should think but little of all I have done for them and would wish, were it possible, to suffer still more. But the sole return they make for all My eagerness to do them good is to reject Me and treat Me with coldness. Do you at least console Me by supplying for their ingratitude, as much as you can."

When we contemplate these sad words of Jesus, we should remember that He suffered for our sake and is still suffering. We have to strive our level best to amend this sadness of Our Lord.

Our Lord’s passion and sacrifice at Golgotha is continually renewed daily on our altars. Let us contemplate this and offer with a tender heart, all the holy masses in which we participate, to Lord our God. Then God will be merciful to us and look kindly upon us and our petitions.

INVOCATION (JAPAM) ‍

Lord, my Savior and Creator! How blessed I would have been, if I was present at Golgotha at the time of your death! How holy I would become, if the precious blood that gushed forth from Your pierced heart fell on my heart! O, sweet Jesus! Though I was not fortunate enough to be at the foot of the cross at Golgotha during that first mass, I strongly believe that in all the holy masses that I participate, when You offer Yourself to the eternal Father, I am at the foot of the cross and will be blessed like those who were present at Golgotha, my loving Jesus! It is true that in the past I have failed to worship and love You during the holy mass. O, merciful Jesus! Please do not look upon my ingratitude, but in Your infinite mercy grant me forgiveness. I promise that, going forward I will worship You wholeheartedly and sing your praises and adore You.

Grant to Your Church, O Lord, assurance of freedom, protect our Supreme Pontiff and make haste that all may know the haven of truth, and have unity of faith, so that there may soon be one fold and one Shepherd! Lord, be merciful to the unfortunate sinners, console the souls in Purgatory and be merciful to me, your unworthy servant. O Immaculate Heart of Mary, O Mother of all blessings, I firmly believe that through your powerful intercession, all my prayers and petitions will be granted. Amen.
