Dietrich Bonhoeffer
This being the Holy feast day of the Archangels Michael, Raphael and Gabriel, I feel it only fitting to touch upon the awesome Bliss of Holy Mass. All of the angels and Saints of Heaven celebrate the reverence and joy of the Celestial honor of each Mass with us. In union with our voices and hearts, they sing with us the prayers of this most Holy Sacrament. Oh! What Joy there is in each Mass said! Unseen to our eyes but not to our hearts, we add our petitions and Thanksgiving to the lifting of the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ to His Holy Father and ours. Transformed before "our" very eyes by the priest, we declare that this is Truly the Body and Blood of Jesus. What bliss! What greater Love is there that Our Risen Lord allows us to partake in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass? I love him. The Sacrificial Lamb, that laid down His life for you and for me. How tender His love is for each of us. How merciful a God who forgives a million fold.
Padre Pio could hardly contain himself on the altar as he held the precious Body and Blood of his Lord in his hands. Bringing him to tears, many times, as he was fortunate and blessed with the true insight of feeling God's love for us.
The Sacred Host bleeds for us. It's Sanctifies us. Just as the Precious Blood cleanses us and purifies us.
Oh! The Bliss of Holy Mass. If you are in need of Hope or Mercy or forgiveness, even in your joy, celebrate with the Heavens this beautiful gift and receive the "Blessings" Jesus offers "you" every time.
