1:42Now PlayingWhy go to Mass on Sunday?
Certainly not just to follow a ritual. As Pope Francis says, “If you are the same at the end of Mass as you were at the beginning, something is wrong.”
This is because “the Eucharist is the presence of Jesus,” who “comes and must transform you.”
This is how Pope Francis begins the video with the prayer intention for July, produced by the Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network, with the help of the Archdiocese of Detroit.
What’s more, the Pope continues, “it is a way of opening ourselves to the world as He taught us.”
By going to Mass, we find the courage “to go out of ourselves, and to open ourselves to others with love.”
Let us join the Pope in prayer so that “Catholics place at the center of their lives the Eucharistic Celebration.”
“If you are the same at the end of Mass as you were at the beginning, something is wrong.
The Eucharist is the presence of Jesus, it is deeply transforming. Jesus comes and must transform you.
In the Eucharist, it is Christ who offers Himself, who gives himself for us. He invites us, so that our lives may be nourished by Him and may nourish the lives of our brothers and sisters.
The Eucharistic Celebration is an encounter with the Risen Jesus. At the same time, it is a way of opening ourselves to the world as He taught us.
Each time we participate in the Eucharist, Jesus comes and Jesus gives us the strength to love like He loved, because it gives us the courage to encounter others, to go out of ourselves, and to open ourselves to others with love.
Let us pray that Catholics place at the centre of their lives the Eucharistic Celebration, which transforms human relationships profoundly and opens up an encounter with God and their brothers and sisters.”
