For a special occasion, for healing or when a loved one is called into eternal life, you may want to remember this event or person in a spiritual way. The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is the perfect offering made to God because it is Christ Himself who is priest and sufferer.
Around the world, hour by hour, as the Eucharist is offered, Jesus’ sacrifice on Calvary and His Resurrection are made present, and His redeeming work continues for all. Christ told us,
“Do this in memory of Me.”
The benefits of each Mass are infinite and include the whole world. The Blood of the new and everlasting covenant was “shed for you and for all.” Those who have holy Mass offered and those for whom a Mass is offered partake in a special way of the grace of the Eucharistic sacrifice.
Masses for Loved Ones
Spiritually, as you unite yourself with the priest who offers the Sacrifice of the Mass for your intentions, you share a bond of great strength: love of Christ in the Eucharist, trust in His love for you and faith in the power of prayer.
Throughout the centuries, Catholics have followed the praiseworthy custom of requesting that Mass be celebrated for themselves, or for loved ones, living or deceased.
The Mass intention can be to ask God’s blessing and grace on a loved one during his or her entire life, from birth to death. So often we think Masses can be celebrated only for the deceased, but they may be offered for healing, good health, birthdays and anniversaries or simply to express thanks and praise to God for a loved one.
Though the Mission priest who receives your offering is unknown to you, you are united in love of Christ in the Eucharist and faith in the power of prayer. A Mission priest will celebrate Mass for you, or for a friend or family member, living or deceased. As the Mission priest celebrates Mass for your intentions, he unites you with himself and his congregation - a clear sign of the universality of the Church!
Your Mass Offering is a special help to a Mission priest, poor himself and serving among the poorest of the human family. For many Mission priests, Mass Offerings are a substantial means of day-by-day support.
