This is Mass: to enter into Jesus’ passion, death,
resurrection and ascension. When we go
to Mass, it is as if we were going to Calvary, it’s the same.
Every celebration of the Eucharist is a
beam of that sun that never sets, which is the risen Jesus Christ. To take part in Mass, especially on Sundays,
means entering into the victory of the resurrection, being illuminated by his
light, warmed by his heart. Mass is the
triumph of Jesus.
In the Eucharist, [Jesus] wants to transmit
his paschal, victorious love. If we
receive it with faith, we too can truly love God and our neighbor, we can love
like he loved us, giving life.
--Pope Francis
