Angels bow in reverence before Christ our King, as His Precious Blood is made present on our altars

The glory of Christ shines out when the Sacred Scriptures are read at Mass

At the consecration the awesome Presence of Christ in glory fills the sanctuary

Grace pours upon Christ's people at Mass, generation after generation

Through our reverent prayer we share in Christ's glory and prepare for the glory of Heaven

Christ our High Priest is truly Present at Mass to help and save us

Through Christ and His saints our prayers are channelled to the Faithful Departed

Our Guardian Angel prays with us as we adore Christ after receiving Holy Communion

In the Sacred Liturgy, just as in our personal prayer, we rely on the power of the Holy Spirit

At Holy Communion we are more closely united with the great Communion of saints

Words cannot describe the marvel of God's love for us, His children - brothers and sisters together before Him. We should feel confident at every Mass because Christ is amongst us praying for us.

If we persevere in the darkness of prayer, God will eventually lead us to His light and wisdom

The Mass is like a window into time, through which we are present to the Saving Sacrifice of Christ, as Mary looks on
