As Pope Paul VI eloquently stated in Mysterium Fidei:
“The Lord is immolated in an unbloody way in the Sacrifice of the Mass and He re-presents the sacrifice of the Cross and applies its salvific power at the moment when he becomes sacramentally present—through the words of consecration—as the spiritual food of the faithful, under the appearances of bread and wine.”
This profound quote encapsulates the essence of our faith and the power of the Mass celebrated daily at St. John’s Orange.
