Connecting to the Groanings of Christ through the Holy Mass
Is the Holy Mass just a liturgical key that unlocks the Tabernacle door?? In the sixth chapter of St. John’s Gospel we hear of how the people after being fed with the multiplication of the loaves desired to make Our Blessed Lord their King. But Our Lord fled into the mountain alone, a figure of Calvary. What these people really wanted was the same as the Samaritan woman at the well... That they be given this food and water always. They wanted Our Lord to be their bread king. They wanted a BANQUET always... a banquet without sacrifice! But He fled from them until they grasped that He is the divine Victim...and cannot be approached well without some sacrifice. In a word, He does not want to be know apart from His Cross, His Passion, apart from Calvary. The same is true for all time. Thus we have the Mass to make Calvary present to us again because this is where He especially wants us to approach Him, to know Him, and to love Him, calling upon His name. And He wants us to bring our sacrifices… our crosses! Never be without a cross at the Holy Mass! “Alas, for many good Christians the Eucharist consists merely of Holy Communion. They do not come to Mass for the purpose of adoring, praising, and blessing the Most Holy Trinity, ‘per Ipsum, et cum Ipso, et in Ipso,’ but only in order to receive Holy Communion. For too many Holy Mass is, after all, but the liturgical key which opens the tabernacle door. The official praise given to God by the Church though the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is very often entirely overlooked”—Fr. Mateo.
