The Cross and the Mass : Hebrews 10:11-18

If you could stand at the foot of the cross with the Blessed Mother and share in the sufferings of Christ the High Priest,

Would you?

You can......at every Mass!

At the Last Supper, Jesus knew His disciples would not be there at the foot of His cross where He would offer up His Body and pour our His Blood.

So at the Last Supper, Jesus gave them His Body to eat and poured out His Blood in the chalice to drink so that they could Sacramentally be present and share in death on the cross.

The Mass IS the same sacrifice of the cross, that the disciples shared in at the Last Supper, except in a Sacramental form.

It is the SAME Body given from the cross

And the SAME Blood poured out from the cross,

That the Disciples shared in at the Last Supper,

And that we too like them share in at every Mass!

God Bless
