THE TREMENDOUS VALUE OF THE HOLY MASS
At the hour of death the masses you have heard will be your greatest consolation.
Every mass will go with you to judgment and plead for your pardon.
At every mass you can diminish the temporal punishment due to your sins, more or less according to your fervor.
Assisting devoutly at mass, you render to the Sacred Humanity of our Lord the greatest homage.
He supplies for many of your negligence and omissions.
He forgives you all the venial sins which you never confessed.
The power of Satan over you is diminished.
You afford the souls in purgatory the greatest possible relief.
One mass heard during your life will be of more benefit to you than many heard for you after your death.
You are preserved from many dangers and misfortunes which would otherwise have befallen you.
You shorten your purgatory by every mass.
Every mass wins for you a higher degree of glory in heaven.
You receive the priest’s blessing which our Lord ratifies in heaven.
You kneel amidst a multitude of holy angels, who are present at the adorable sacrifice with reverential awe.
You are blessed in your temporal goods and affairs.
Everytime we assist at mass and offer the Holy Sacrifice in honor of any particular saint or angel thanking God for favors He bestowed on Him, we afford Him a great degree of honor, joy and happiness and draw His special love and protection on us.

▪St. John Vianney said that if we knew the value of the Mass, we would die of joy.

(Pope Benedict XV)
▪Once, St. Teresa of Avila was overwhelmed with God’s Goodness and asked Our Lord: “How can I thank you?” Our Lord replied, “ATTEND ONE MASS”.
▪The Blessed Virgin Mary once told her faithful servant, Blessed Alain: “My Son so loves those who assist at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass that, if it were necessary, He would die for them as many times as they’ve heard Masses.”
