God speaks to His people through the Sacred Scriptures proclaimed at Mass.
The Mass is the celebration of Divine Worship and the highest celebration of our Faith.
Because Jesus rose from the dead, we have been saved from sin and death, and it is now possible for us to be forgiven of our sin and to enter into Heaven one day.
At every Mass, the events of our salvation are made present to us on the altar in the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist, and we are invited take part in this memorial of our salvation.
Jesus taught us that He is the Bread of Life and that we must eat His Body and drink His Blood in order to have eternal life.
The members of the Church are the Body of Christ.
Jesus fulfills the ancient rites and sacrifices of the Old Testament.
At Mass, the bread and wine are changed into the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist.

We must be prepared to receive Holy Communion at Mass and to better understand the mystery of Christ’s presence to us in the Eucharist.
