Preparation for Mass: Friday September 5, 2008

I've used Michael W. Smith before at this blogsite, and back by popular demand (mainly my own demand!) I want to present "Agnus Dei" as the musical score to the crucifixion of Christ from Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ." As you prepare for Mass this weekend, don't think of it as merely receiving Eucharist, which we do in fact receive, but in addition, think of the Mass as Christ representing himself and His Church as an offering of love to the Father. It is in the Mass whereby you join with Jesus in His total self-giving to the Father with us. Your assistance of Jesus is priceless and a matter of great honor. God bless you all as you set your hearts and minds right to assist and receive Jesus!
