The Mass is a sacrifice: It is Christ’s Death on the Cross to expiate for our

sins. But it is a wonderful

feast because of many reasons.

Jewish Passover.

We are reunited with Jesus in the Mass

It is a joy for us to be together and to sing to God. Aside from Him, those present are the Father and the Holy

Spirit, the Virgin Mary, the angels, the saints in Heaven, the souls in Purgatory, and all creatures.

Sacrifices are not a sad thing

Sacrifices are like a gift we give to

God. It is always a gift that is done

lovingly and cheerfully. It is a

feast to give thanks, to adore, to praise God, to know that He forgives our

sins. Jesus gives Himself to us

cheerfully.

What a joy when they told me... !

That is why I hurry up in order not to arrive late. Jesus

waits for me on the altar.

I don’t care if i wake up early, if I have to stop playing...

Because the joy of participating in the Mass and receiving

Jesus is my greatest treasure. The
