If we understand the divine dignity of the priesthood, we shall comprehend more fully the infinite greatness of the Mass. No one on this Earth can give God as much glory as a devout priest.

The sacrifice of the Holy Mass is the same with the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. It is the highest form of glory and atonement to God for the forgiveness of our sins and that of the whole world.

In His farewell speech to the Apostles, Jesus tells them that He will return to the Father, but will not leave them orphaned (John 14:18). The Father will give them another advocate – the Holy Spirit. We receive the Holy Spirit, through our Baptism and our Confirmation. 

Now that very day two of them were going to a village seven miles from Jerusalem called Emmaus, and they were conversing about all the things that had occurred. And it happened that while they were conversing and debating, Jesus himself drew near and walked with them, but their eyes were prevented from recognizing him.
