Excerpt from the book Meditations for all the Days of the Year - Let us adore Our Lord, the supreme High-Priest, consummating upon the altar, by the ministry of the priest, as well as upon the cross in His own person, the sacrifice which glorifies God and which saves the world. Let us thank Him for admitting all of us to participate in the merits of this solemn act. “Come to Me” (Matthew 11:28), He cries aloud to us; let us promise Him to respond to this amiable invitation with eagerness and love.
