The Sacrifice of the Mass (Aquinas 101) 

That's why before I was wondering which Christian church should I join ....I became a Catholic...awesome Stunningly catholic faith

In all my 70 years I had never reflected on the importance of the two-fold consecration as explained here.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard so much theology packed in to 7 minutes. I would only hope that one day I can articulate it that well.

I'm going to have to watch/listen to this a few more times to get EVERY gem of knowledge out of it. Thank you. Being a cradle Catholic, this changes my view of the mass completely.

In my old age, God has led me to a place and circumstance where I can attend Mass daily, and the Sacrament of Reconciliation is available before. I testify to the transformative power of this great kindness of the Lord to this sinner. That same sort of Wisdom and kindness I think brought together these brilliant men and women of the Thomistic Institute right when we all need to hear what they are saying. God Bless TI !!

In Thanksgiving of the Lord's sacrifice; We thank the Lord every day for the Eucharist and the Church he has given us.

Listen to this holy wise man over and over...so much beautiful teaching here God of heaven save all the world

When you look at the night sky, you can see countless stars that died millions of light years ago. They still appear before your eyes as though they were alive. Why? Because the speed of light is limited, and thus the light of a star takes time to reach the earth. So people can still see living and shining stars, even at the moment of each star's death, millions of light years after their death. I like to think of the Mass in a similar way -- taking the Sacrifice of Calvary to the ends of the universe. "I am the Light of the world," said Jesus. When we participate in the Mass, we participate in nothing less than the Sacrifice of Calvary itself. We watch it live ; we see his death 2,000 years ago before our very eyes.

Thank you Aquinas 101, may God bless you!

Another excellent explanation of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass...my Lord and my God!

So good. I watched this twice and paused it multiple times on the second watch. Thank you for making this video.

Once again Fr White is the man.👍

Coleman O'Neil's book, Sacramental Realism, is a wonderful explanation to compliment the solid teaching of St. Thomas Aquinas. Buy a copy for your local priest!

Thank you Father White

In the Eucharist we encounter the Risen Christ.

So helpful to get good, solid material like this so that we can remember and expand our knowledge of the Faith. No CCD program or theology class is going to be remembered for life; we need to keep learning and having things explained to us.

Absolutely beautiful!

I didn't truly understand the meaning of the mass till I went to the TLM. Could you and your friends help defend this gift of our faith? Please.

Learn The Mass ✅ Love The Mass✅ Live The Mass✅

That is a very special video,thanks! Hopefully will appreciate the Mass more deeply!

Thank you! Very interesting

Beautiful

AMEN!!!

Amen 🙏❤️📖

This is why there is no place for guitars and tambourines in the Mass

I think people get stuck in the human understanding time. Unable to locate a moment that transcends time.

This is similar to how i taught about it before watching this video Its like having one true sacrifice and then 10 000 sacrifices later that are the same as clavary - Like watching videos again and again of one sacrifice of Calvary. Sometimes i also love to think it's like 1st Chapter of Luke gospel happening on the altar 🤰🏽

That's what I thought 🙏

I’ve been watching your videos for a few years. I am frustrated that I am not able to get notifications. I don’t know if you can do anything about that.

1 Corinthians 11:24-25 KJV 24 And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in *remembrance* of me. 25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in *remembrance* of me. Ephesians 5:30 KJV For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. John 6:54-63 KJV 54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. 55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. 56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. 57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. 58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever. 59 These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum. 60 Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it? 61 When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you? 62 What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before? 63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the *words* that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. 64 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him. 65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father. 66 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. 67 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? 68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the *words* of eternal life.

Is anyone in the comments in sister Mary Ignatius’ Catholicism class? I need help

I'm glad to hear that the Church acknowledges one saving sacrifice. So if the sacrifice of the Mass is allowing the Priest to present Christ's merits to the Father on behalf of others, how many times is it necessary to do so? And why the necessity of the consumption of the Host? And if it's necessary to consume the Host as the body of Christ, then why not the wine, as the blood of Christ? (“Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.) I personally feel like this verse is an allegory but has been used as rationale for the doctrine of transubstantiation. Are the following verses allegorical? "I am the vine, you are the branches" or "I am the gate. Whoever enters through me will be saved, and will come in and go out and find pasture." I was taught that growing up that the whole point of the Holy Mass was the sacrifice and consumption of the transubstantiated elements. Still hard to comprehend that this is supposed to be more than a remembrance, but I pray I will be forgiven if I am wrong about that and be enlightened as to my error.

I've seen the separation of the Body and Blood to itself denote a sacrifice to God. As this is how God told Isreal to sacrifice to him in the passover. The blood was the life of the animal and offered to God while the flesh was eaten by the priests and those who offered the sacrifice. There is a significance in the blood being offered to men but I'm not fully sure of it.

But are we re-crucifying Christ?! And if not, where was this doctrine affirmed?

Why do Dominicans always wear hoodies?

I was of the understanding that the Catholic Church gave up the language of the Mass being a sacrifice for other terminology. Is it not a celebration?

" The Mass is an Institution of the Devil." Book written by Martin Luther " The Mass is the Highest Blasphemy against God and the Highest IDOLATRY In all the Earth in all Christendom since the time of the Apostles." Martin Luther Rejoice in the Truth always. I say again, Rejoice. Apostle Paul by the will of God, And a bondservant of the Lord Jesus Christ. 🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁 Glory, Glory, Hallelujah! Glory, Glory, Hallelujah! And his Truth goes marching on ........................... .

The Greek Orthodox Church gives both species to the communicants. The Greek Orthodox Church was founded first and both species were always given.

If the bread after consecration literally becomes the body of Christ, how do you prove it? Scientifically? Scripture? The sacrifice of the mass is wrong. 11For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you to make atonement for your souls upon the altar; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul. Leviticus 17:11. The body of the lamb sacrifices is not offered in the tabernacle for the remission of sin but the blood only. 22According to the law, in fact, nearly everything must be purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. Hebrews 9:22 11But when Christ came as high priest of the good things that have come,f He went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle that is not made by hands and is not a part of this creation. 12He did not enter by the blood of goats and calves, but He entered the Most Holy Place once for all by His own blood, thus securing eternal redemption. Hebrews 9:11,12 Scripture proves the sacrifice of the mass is not needed because Jesus said “It is finished”

Soooo a mere mortal man has the ability to bring christ from heaven off the throne and celebrate his death,,,sooo you go to a funeral every time you do a mas,,,you n3ed to reallllly think about this catholic faith.

How can he say it becomes body of Christ when it’s still bread. It looks and tastes like bread. Grace is not dispensed by sacraments. Where do they find this in the Bible? That is not how grace is given.

Jesus replied, “And why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition?" Mt. 15:3 Roman Catholic man-made traditions such as purgatory, Maryology, veneration of statues/relics, Popery, etc...are evidences of its false nature as a church. Jesus neither instituted a sacerdotal eucharist or calls the bread or cup his "blood, body, soul, divinity" in a direct manner. In John 6, Jesus is clearly speaking metaphorically in regards to his "body and blood." John 6:63 and the entire context of this chapter in the Hebraic understanding of his original audience points to the "bread from heaven" (not the physical bread that God gave through Moses) but the true spiritual bread that feeds God's people (Isa. 55:1-2). It is my hope that the listener to this video will see the almost exclusive reliance Mr. White has on human wisdom, particularly that of the church fathers and not Holy Scripture. Receive Jesus as Lord and Savior (spiritually) by repenting of your sins and by trusting in the risen Christ to give you his righteousness as a gift (John 3:3, Eph. 2:8-10, 2 Cor. 5:21)!

In other words it's a satanic ritual not Christian
