O Lord Jesus, in order that the merits of your sacrifice on the Cross might be applied to every soul of all time, you willed that it should be renewed upon the altar. At the Last Supper, you said: "Do this in remembrance of me." By these words you gave your apostles and their successors the power to consecrate and to the command to do what you yourself did. I believe that the Mass is both a sacrifice and a memorial- reenacting your passion, death and resurrection. Help me to realize that the Mass is the greatest gift of God to us and our greatest gift to God.
Forgive us, Lord.
Forgive us for only celebrating our own actions and our own pride.
Forgive us for only praying for our own needs and our own wants.
Forgive us for only feeling our own pain and our own suffering.
Forgive us for only seeing our own loss and our own mourning.
Forgive us Lord.
Redeem us Lord.
Save us Lord.
Amen.
