Status Updates From La Cena del Cordero: La Mis...

The Mass is the “once for all,” perfect sacrifice of Calvary, which is presented on heaven's altar for all eternity. It is not a “repeat performance.” There is only one sacrifice; it is perpetual and eternal, and so it needs never be repeated. Yet the Mass is our participation in that one sacrifice and in the eternal life of the Trinity in heaven, where the Lamb stands eternally “as if slain.”
