Excerpt from The Man of Sorrows: Chapters on the Sacred PassionThe holy eucharist is a perpetual memorial of our Lord's desire that His sufferings and death for us should ever live in our affectionate remembrance. The Mass is at once a continuation and a commemoration of that supreme sacrifice of love which was consummated for us on Calvar And taking bread, He gave thanks, and brake, an gave to them, sa ing This is My Body, which is given for you. Do this or a commemoration of Me. (st. Luke xxii, Love of the Mass inspires, or ought to inspire, a deeper and more affectionate study of the Passion and death of our Saviour, and in turn, this deeper and more affectionate study of the Passion and death of our Saviour, intensifies our love and reverence for the Mass.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
