“When you come to Mass, you must remember what Jesus is doing for you. You must offer Jesus and yourself to God. Jesus, too, will offer you to God with Himself. Because God loves Jesus very much, He will be pleased with your gift. He will bless you and make you more and more like Jesus. We should ask this of our Lord when we go to Mass.” ChildrenCatholicCatholicismCatholic SpiritualityCatholic Mass Book:My Mass Book Source: My Mass Book
“Dearest Jesus, I come with Thee to the alter to offer to God this Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. I shall offer with Thee and with the priest the bread and wine as gifts to God, my Father. And I shall offer Him my body and my soul with them. God, our Father, loves Thee, dear Jesus. He will accept these poor gifts and change them into Thy Body and Blood. He will give them back to me in Holy Communion. I come to Holy Mass to beg pardon for my sins. I come to ask to ask help for myself and for those I love. How wonderful it is to be able to adore God. How wonderful it is to thank the Father with Thee, my Jesus.” ChildrenCatholicCatholicismCatholic SpiritualityCatholic Mass Book:My Mass Book Source: My Mass Book
