The Sacred liturgy

The sacred liturgy, by its very nature, is the worship of the Heavenly Father by Christ united with all the members of the Church—his Mystical Body.
Mother Church earnestly desires that all the faithful should be led to that full, conscious, and active participation in liturgical celebrations which is demanded by the very nature of the liturgy, and to which the Christian people, “a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a redeemed people” (1 Peter 2:9, 4-5) have a right and obligation by reason of their baptism.The sacrificial nature of the Mass, solemnly defended by the Council of Trent, because it accords with the universal tradition of the Church, was once more stated at the Second Vatican Council, which pronounced these clear words about the Mass: At the Last Supper, Our Saviour instituted the Eucharistic sacrifice of his Body and Blood, by which the Sacrifice of his Cross is perpetuated until he comes again; and till then he entrusts the memorial of his Death and Resurrection to his beloved spouse, the Church.

The Sacrifice of the Mass

Manfred Hauke—professor of dogmatic theology at the theological faculty in Lugano, Switzerland.
From the Proceedings of the Fifth Fota International Liturgical Conference, 2012
Celebrating the Eucharist: Sacrifice and Communion

The Mass, as sacrifice, is the sacramental representation or memorial of the sacrifice of Christ offered at the cross. Christ himself makes present his unique offering by the ministry of the ordained priest in the consecration of the bread and wine into his Body and Blood. He is also, with his permanent oblation in heaven, the principal author of the sacramental act which applies the fruits of the redemptive offering on Calvary for the spiritual benefit of the Church and the whole of humanity called to receive salvation. The salvation offered ‘for all’ on the cross is realised ‘for many’ by the celebration of the holy Mass during subsequent history. The consecration establishes the ‘visible sacrifice’ instituted by Christ. At the same time, it is the heart of every spiritual sacrifice offered by the Church in the eucharistic celebration. It is prepared for especially by the offertory, and finds its expression in the prayers and liturgical signs of offering which are concluded by the holy banquet of communion.
