A Blessed Pope Teaches.
Blessed Pope Pius IX


Nothing is greater or holier than the unbloody sacrifice of the Mass, in which the body and blood of Christ are offered to God for the salvation of all. Holy Mother the Church has always been careful and diligent in order that the Mass be celebrated by priests with clean and pure hearts. It should be celebrated with the proper splendor of sacred ceremonies and rites so that the greatness of this mystery will shine forth all the more even from external appearances. This will also arouse the faithful to the contemplation of divine things hidden in such an admirable and venerable sacrifice. And with like solicitude and devotion, the same most holy Mother has never ceased to urge, exhort, and influence her faithful sons to frequently attend this divine sacrifice with due piety, veneration and devotion. She teaches that they must at all cost be present at it on all holy days of obligation, with their minds and eyes religiously intent on that from which the divine mercy and an abundance of all good things might be acquired.


Oh Holy Mary ever Virgin and conceived without sin; Pray for us who have recourse to thee.

     In preparation for the Canon of The Mass (Note in margin from 1962 Roman Missal. Angelus press)

The host that is offered but not yet consecrated belongs to God and cannot be used for any other purpose. From this moment on, the Mass truly becomes the sacrifice, the act of Redemption.
THE PRAYER TO THE HOLY TRINITY
Receive O Holy Trinity, this offering which we make to Thee, in remembrance of the Passion, Resurrection, and Ascension of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and in honor of Blessed Mary ever Virgin, and of blessed John the Baptist, and of the holy Apostles Peter and Paul, of these and all of the Saints; that it may avail to their honor and our salvation: and may they vouchsafe to intercede for us in heaven whose memory we celebrate on earth. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
Sanctus Sanctus Sanctus

Through the merits of the same Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Introit for Dedication of a Church.
Terrible is this place: it is the house of God, and the gate of heaven; and it shall be called the Court of God. (P.T. Alleluia, alleluia)
(Psalm) How lovely are Thy Tabernacles, O Lord of Hosts! my soul longeth and fainteth for the Courts of the Lord. Glory be to the Father. Terrible is this place...

This place was made by God, a priceless mystery, it is without reproof. O God, before Whom stands the choir of angels, give ear to the prayers of Thy servants.

 The Final Gauge

                                   If THAT for which we labor here
                                 Be worthy our endeavor,
                                 The final gauge we need not fear,
                                 Since Heaven fails us never!
                                 Though wrong may seem to vanquish right;
                                 Though truth be crushed and hid from sight;
                                 Fear not the outcome of the fight!--
                                 God`s laws will stand forever!

                                                 

The end we cannot always see
Nor can we understand
   That what man deems futility,
     God may have wisely planned!
                  Trust then in Him, and, come what may,
         Press boldly onward day by day;--
              Knowing that all things, now and aye,
   Are in His holy hand!
