“No human tongue can enumerate the favors that trace back to the Sacrifice of the Mass. The sinner is reconciled with God; the just man becomes more upright; sins are wiped away; vices are uprooted; virtue and merit increases; and the devil’s schemes are uprooted.” (St. Lawrence Justinian)
Suggested Prayer: Prayer Before Mass
O God, Almighty and Merciful, grant us through this Holy Sacrifice, joy and peace, a holier life, time to do penance, grace and consolation of the Holy Spirit, and perseverance in good works. We ask this through Christ, Our Lord. Amen.
Suggested Activity: Read the Sunday readings ahead of time. You can easily find them at www.USCCB.org. Make plans to arrive early for Mass.
