: 1. When the Eucharist is being celebrated, the sanctuary is filled with countless angels who adore the Divine Victim immolated on the altar (St John Chrysostom) 2. The Angels surround and help the Priest when he is celebrating Mass (St. Augustine) 3. The best time to ask and obtain favours from God is the time of the Elevation of the Precious Body and Blood of Jesus Christ (St John Bosco) 4. The celebration of Holy Mass is as valuable as the death of Jesus Christ on the cross (St. Thomas Aquinas) 5. St Theresa was overwhelmed with God’s goodness and she asked our Lord “How can I thank you?” our Lord replied:”Attend one Mass) 6. My Son so loves those who assist at Mass that, if it were necessary he would die for them as many times as they have heard Masses (Our Lady to Blessed Alan) 7. When we receive Holy Communion in the state of Grace, we experience extraordinary joy, fragrance, wellbeing that thrills the whole body and causes it to exult (St John Vianney) 8. There is nothing so great as the Eucharist. If God had something more precious, He would have given it to us (St John Vianney) 9. Be eager to go to Mass on weekdays also,even if it costs a sacrifice. Our Lord will reward you with His blessings and make you succeed in your undertakings (Don Bosco) 10. When we receive Holy Communion, the balm of love envelops the soul as the flower envelops the bee (St John Vianney) 11) It would be easier for the world to survive without the sun than to do without Holy Mass (St. Padre Pio) 12. The Holy Mass is the highest prayer that exists. It is the sacrifice dedicated by our Redeemer at the Cross and repeated everyday on the altar. If you wish to hear, Mass as it should be heard, you must follow with eye, heart and mouth all that happens at the altar. Further, you must pray with the priest the holy words said by him in the Name of Christ and which Christ says by him.You have to associate your heart with the holy feelings which are contained in these words and in this manner ought to follow all that happens at the altar. When acting in this way you have prayed Holy Mass (St Pope Pius X)
