Friday

 

The Mass is a Prayer for Everyone.

We come to Mass not just for ourselves but for the whole world because the world can be a difficult place to live sometimes for many people. So we pray that God might have “Mercy on us all.”

We pray to the Saints for their “Unfailing help.”

We pray for the Peace and Salvation, not just for ourselves but for the whole world.

We pray for the Pope and the bishops as like Moses they lead the Pilgrim Church

We pray for all God’s children “scattered throughout the world.”

And we pray for all our departed brothers and sister, mothers and fathers and friends,

That they might be “admitted to the Kingdom of Heaven,”

As Padre Pio said, “It would be easier for the world to exist without the sun, than without the Mass!”

For it is the Sacrifice of the Mass and the Prayers that are offered that really keep the world going!
