24 REASONS FOR ATTENDING DAILY MASS

 


Edited by Fr Lawrence Ogundipe SDV 

1. At the hour of your death, your greatest comfort will be the Masses you attended during your lifetime with fervor and devotion.


2. Every Mass you attended will accompany you in the divine court and advocate for forgiveness.


3. With each Mass you can diminish the temporary punishment you owe for your sins, in proportion to the fervor with which you hear it.


4. With devoted assistance to Holy Mass, you pay the greatest tribute to the Blessed Humanity of Our Lord.


5. Holy Mass well heard supplements your many negligences and omissions.


6. For the holy mass well heard you forgive all the venial sins you are determined to avoid, and many others you don't even remember.


7. By her also loses the devil dominion over you.


8. You offer the greatest comfort to the blessed souls of Purgatory.


9. You get blessings in your business and temporary affairs.


10. A Mass heard as long as you live will profit you much more than many offered for you after death.


11. You get rid of many dangers and misfortunes you might fall into if it weren't for Holy Mass.


12. Also remember that you shorten your Purgatory with it.


13. With each Mass you will increase your degrees of glory in Heaven. In it you receive the blessing of the priest, which God ratifies in heaven.


14. To him who hears Mass every day, God will deliver him from a tragic death and the Guardian Angel will take into account the steps he takes to go to Mass, and God will reward him in his death.


15. During the Mass you kneel in the midst of a multitude of angels invisibly attending the Holy Sacrifice with extreme reverence.


16. When we hear mass in honor of a particular Saint, giving thanks to God for the favours given to that Saint, we can only gain his protection and special love, for the honor, joy and happiness that our good work is Follows him.


17. Every day we hear Mass, it would be nice if in addition to other intentions, we were to honor the Saint of the Day.


18. Mass is the greatest gift that can be offered to the Lord for souls, to remove them from purgatory, deliver them from their sorrows and lead them to joy of glory. - Saint Bernard of Sena.


19. Whoever hears Mass, makes prayer, gives alms or prays for the souls of Purgatory, works for his own advantage. - St. Augustine.


20. For every Mass held or heard with devotion, many souls leave Purgatory, and those left there are lessened sorrows they suffer. - Saint Gregory the Great, Pope.


21. During the celebration of Mass, the sorrows of souls are suspended for those who pray and work the priest, and especially those for whom the Mass offers. - St. Gregory the Great.


22. You can also earn Plenary Indulgence every Monday of the year by offering holy Mass and Communion in suffrage of the blessed souls of Purgatory. For the faithful who can't hear Mass on Monday it's worth hearing Sunday with that intention.


23. It is pleaded that they apply all indulgences in the suffrage of the souls of Purgatory, because God our Lord, and they will reward him this charity.


24. The Holy Mass is the renewal of the Sacrifice of Calvary, the greatest act of worship to the Holy Trinity. That's why it's a must hear it every Sunday and party to save.

Why Catholics should not eat meat during Christmas Eve

  One of the traditional acts of Christmas is to abstain from meat on Christmas Eve, 24th December.  I could still remember the temptation from the aroma of the fried chicken from my Mama Lucy's kitchen when I was 7 years old. I asked her for a bite and she shouted “Agbedo" meaning never!!! “Why grandma?” I asked, she took me by hands to the Church manger and showed me the animals in the crib: “Yes, Olu, we cannot eat meat on Christmas Eve because the animals were the ones who kept Jesus company at his birth, so we must respect them today''. “Waoo!” I exclaimed, “So that's why I cannot eat meat today...” I held unto this tradition until I entered Seminary only for us to eat plenty meat on the Christmas Eve. Then I asked: “Why are we not respecting the animals today?” And my brothers laughed at my ignorance.  Why then should grandma stop me from eating meat? According to Wikipedia, the Catholic Church historically observes the disciplines of fasting and abstinence a...

SIMONY IN THE CHURCH: Lessons from histories and stories.

The influx of Pentecostal practise and attitude are creeping into the Catholic Church and if we are not careful, her trademarks of orthodoxy and authenticity will be at the margins. Evidently, many aberrations are finding their ways to the front seat and it is disheartening how strange doctrines are celebrated and enthroned in modern fashion with personal innovations in the liturgy. What is happening to the rubrics, can we go back to the root and the books? This piece is a clarion call to my dear brothers and sisters, a wake-up call to all Catholics to protect the faith we proudly profess and keep out ‘rugalised’ doctrines infiltrating into the parishes. Personally, I am shocked with much pain in my heart on how priests and lay faithful play active parts in keeping the floodgates of error into devotional life of the church. The Catechesis of the church must not sleep nor slumber to checkmate some of the excesses we find around. Can you Imagine a situation when someone brought an O...

HOW OLD IS MARY TODAY ?

  This question was raised during the celebration of the Nativity of mother Mary in 2021 at mass. Let's go into history to unravel how old she would had celebrated if she was physically with us today 8th September 2024.  Some apocryphal accounts state that at the time of her betrothal to Joseph, Mary was 12–14 years old. According to ancient Jewish custom, Mary could have been betrothed at about 12. Hyppolitus of Thebes says that Mary lived for 11 years after the death of her son Jesus, dying in 41 AD. Some ancient authors said that she gave birth to Jesus at 16. Now let's calculate  Jesus lived 30 years with Mary and worked for 3 years with his apostles meaning he died at 33. Hence 16 +33 + 2024 = 2073 So we arrived at her age with historical information from the Sacred tradition that could only be found in the Catholic Church  Am proud to be a Catholic  Happy 2073th  birthday to mother Mary Fr law SDV
