A WAY OF HEARING HOLY MASS

IN HONOUR OF THE HOLY CHILD JESUS.


Of all offerings to our Father in heaven Holy Mass is infinitely the best. It is His only-begotten Son who offers Himself as a Victim. It is one with the Offering on Calvary. His priest at the Altar partakes of His Priesthood; and when you hear Holy Mass you are called by God to join with the priest in this holiest of all offerings.

The Church commands you to hear Mass on Sundays and certain holidays. Do not be content with this; but spend devoutly a half-hour whenever you can in the morning in this holy work. It will draw your heart to God more than any other occupation, and will become a delight to you.
