One of the more memorable moments of The Mass was the Singing of “Veni, Veni, Emmanuel”, a Hymn of Advent. This being 1st Friday, this evening’s Mass was a Missa Solemne.
For on this evening, it was the Time of Christ’s Crucifixion & the Piercing of His Side, from whence Blood & Water Flowed, as His Body was Dead, because the Roman Centurions decided not to break His Legs, due to The Death On The Cross.
One thing about the Beginning of Advent is that it tends to overlap in regards to the End of The Prior Liturgical Season.
For it is in The Holy Sacrifice Of The Mass, That it is the Re Creating of Christ’s Sacrifice On The Cross. The Priest, acting “In Persona Christi”, offers The Bread & Wine, as “Another Christ”, to The Heavenly Father, a Propitiary Sacrifice for Remission of The Priest’s Sins, & The Sins of The Living & the Dead.
THIS Is No Mere “Memorial Meal.”
Kyrie Elaison!
