The HOLY MASS: The Highest and Most Powerful Form of Prayer


Why Everyone—Regardless of Religion—Should Experience the Holy Mass

by AE JMJ

The Lord Jesus Christ said in Matthew 18:19–20:
"For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them."

That’s why I personally believe that any Christian gathering (please correct me if I'm wrong)—whether it be praise and worship, prayer meetings, or services—is good and noble too —as long as we did not diliberately miss Sunday Mass if you are Catholic —and as long as it’s done sincerely and for the greater glory of God. 

What matters is the intention of the heart, not the label of the gathering. It should never be used as an occasion to attack or judge fellow Christians—especially us Catholics who strive to remain faithful and persevering in our journey despite the modern-day challenges and oppositions 

I think that such sincere Christian worship is far better than giving any attention, honor, or praise to God’s enemy - the ancient serpent.

With that being said, the Holy Mass still remains the most solemn and powerful form of worship we have though. Since it's an act of God and not merely an act of man. Sadly however some people fail to grasp its true meaning, beauty, and sacredness.

Many see the Mass as “long,” “boring,” or routine—and sometimes even treat it with irreverence or mock it outright. But if only we understood its eternal significance, we would approach it with awe, reverence, holiness , and gratitude.

For over 2,000 years, the Holy Mass has been the highest form of Christian worship—not just for Catholics, but for all who seek a deeper encounter with God. It is not merely a ritual or a tradition (nor a reenactment or re-crucifixion of our dear Lord JESUS Christ's Passion), but a direct connection to Jesus Christ Himself, the fulfillment of Scripture, and the greatest prayer on  Earth.

"Calvary is made present at every Mass. All of Heaven, earth, and creation are totally united  in worship of the Almighty God the Father through the Holy Spirit with Jesus as both the Highest Priest and victim/offering (spotless, blameless Lamb (scapegoat for our sins) at the same time— past, present, and future.

As Fr. Chris Alar,MIC says, we are all worshipping God together with all of our ancestors and deceased parents who are already in Heaven at every Holy Mass.

Many non-Catholic Christians may wonder, “Why should I attend a Catholic Mass? Isn’t my personal prayer or Sunday service enough?” The answer lies in understanding what the Mass truly is. If you desire a powerful, life-changing encounter with Christ, then the Mass is where you will find it.

1. The Mass is Not Just a Religious Service—It’s Heaven on Earth

Unlike any other form of worship, the Mass is not just a gathering of believers—it is a supernatural event. At every Holy Mass, Heaven and Earth unite as we join all the angels, saints, and all Christians ("communion of Saints") in offering the greatest act of worship to God.

Biblical Foundations:

  • Revelation 4:8 describes heavenly worship: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty.” These same words are prayed in every Catholic Mass.
  • Hebrews 12:22-24 speaks of our worship as a participation in the heavenly Jerusalem, alongside angels and the spirits of the righteous made perfect.
  • Malachi 1:11 prophesies a universal sacrifice offered among the nations: “From the rising of the sun to its setting,  a pure offering will be given to My name.” This prophecy is fulfilled in the Mass, which is celebrated worldwide every day.

When you attend Mass, you step into eternity and join in the worship of God Himself.

2. The Mass Preceded the Bible and Fulfills Scripture

Many assume that Christian worship is based solely on the Bible, but the truth is, the Mass came before the New Testament was even written.

Historical Evidence:

  • Acts 2:42 describes the first Christians: “They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of the bread and the prayers.”
  • 1 Corinthians 11:23-26 records St. Paul’s account of the Eucharist, written years before the Gospels.
  • The first Christians celebrated the Mass every Sunday, long before the Bible was compiled. In fact, the Holy Bible was compiled by the Catholic Church so that we can finally have the gospel readings to be read at every Mass. 

Attending Mass means experiencing the original Christian worship as practiced by Jesus’ Apostles.

3. The Mass is the Fulfillment of Old Testament Worship

Many Christians today seek to understand the Jewish roots of Christianity. What if the Mass is actually the fulfillment of Old Testament worship?

Biblical Parallels:

  • The Passover (Exodus 12) – The Israelites had to eat the sacrificed lamb to be saved. Jesus, the Lamb of God (John 1:29), offers Himself to us in the Eucharist.
  • The Manna in the Desert (Exodus 16:4) – God gave His people bread from heaven to sustain them. Jesus declares in John 6:51: “I am the living bread that came down from heaven.”
  • Melchizedek’s Offering (Genesis 14:18) – The mysterious priest Melchizedek offered bread and wine, foreshadowing the Eucharistic sacrifice of Christ.

The Mass is not just a tradition—it is the divine plan of God fulfilled.

4. The Early Christians Celebrated the Mass as a True Sacrifice

Many non-Catholic Christians believe worship should be simple and free of structured rituals. However, the first Christians, including those who walked with the Apostles, understood that "true worship' must include a SACRIFICE — the MOST HOLY EUCHARIST.

Early Church Testimonies:

  • St. Ignatius of Antioch (c. 107 AD) – “The Eucharist is the flesh of our Savior Jesus Christ.”
  • St. Justin Martyr (c. 150 AD) – Describes the Mass as offering prayers, Scripture readings, and the breaking of the Eucharistic bread—exactly like the modern Catholic Mass.
  • St. Irenaeus (c. 180 AD) – “He took that created thing, bread, and gave thanks and said, ‘This is My Body.’”

From the earliest days, Christians believed that Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist and that the Mass was not just a gathering but a divine mystery.

5. The Mass is Where Miracles Still Happen

God continues to confirm the power of the Mass through incredible Eucharistic miracles.

Astonishing Scientific Proof:

  • Lanciano, Italy (8th century) – A priest doubted the Eucharist, and during Mass, the bread turned into real human flesh. Scientists confirm it is human heart tissue that has remained intact for over 1,000 years.
  • Buenos Aires, Argentina (1996) – A consecrated host transformed into cardiac tissue from a man in agony, matching the trauma Christ endured.
  • Sokรณล‚ka, Poland (2008) – A host turned into living heart muscle, verified by scientists with no natural explanation.

If Jesus were truly present in the Eucharist, wouldn’t we expect miracles? And they have happened over and over again.

6. The Mass is the Only Place Where You Can Physically Encounter Jesus

Many non-Catholic Christians say they have a personal relationship with Jesus. But what if you could not only pray to Him but physically receive Him?

Jesus’ Own Words in Scripture:

  • John 6:53-56 – “Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you… For My flesh is true food, and My blood is true drink.”
  • Luke 22:19 – At the Last Supper, Jesus commanded, “Do this in memory of Me.”
  • 1 Corinthians 10:16 – St. Paul asks, “The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ?”

Jesus was not speaking symbolically—He meant for us to receive His Body and Blood. The Mass is where this happens.

7. The Mass is for Everyone—Not Just Catholics

Many assume that only Catholics can attend Mass. This is not true! The Mass is open to everyone who seeks to experience the deepest connection with Christ.

  • You don’t have to be Catholic to attend.
  • You don’t have to understand everything at first.
  • You don’t have to agree with everything right away.

But if you come with an open heart, you may just find what you’ve been searching for.

Even Non-Catholics Have Been Transformed:

  • Scott Hahn, a former Protestant pastor, discovered the beauty of the Mass and converted.
  • Francis Beckwith, a former Evangelical leader, returned to the Catholic Church after recognizing the power of the Eucharist.
  • Countless others, from all denominations, have attended a Mass and encountered Christ in a way they never expected.

Why Not Come and See?

Jesus’ invitation is open to everyone:

“Come to Me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28)

No matter where you are in your faith journey, the Holy Mass is waiting for you. Whether you are Catholic, Protestant, or searching for truth, the Mass is where you will find the deepest, most powerful encounter with God.

If you have never been to Mass, why not come and see? You may find that it is exactly what your soul has been longing for.

MARY — THE PROMISED WOMAN WHO WILL DEFEAT SATAN (Genesis 3:15) Why Every Christian Must Honor and Pray to Her Through the Holy Rosary Every Day From the dawn of creation, God revealed a mystery so profound that it echoes through all Scripture and history — the mystery of the Woman who would crush the serpent’s head. “I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; she will crush your head, and you will strike at her heel.” — Genesis 3:15 This verse — the Protoevangelium , or “First Gospel” — is the first prophecy of the Savior and His Mother.

The Most Holy EUCHARIST: JESUS' REAL PRESENCE

The Real Presence of Jesus in the Holy Eucharist: A Divine Mystery Made Visible by AE JMJ For over 2,000 years, the Catholic Church has proclaimed a beautiful and astonishing truth: Jesus Christ is truly, really, and substantially present in the Holy Eucharist —Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity. This doctrine, known as the Real Presence , is not merely symbolic. It is a mystery of faith that lies at the heart of Catholic worship and identity. ๐Ÿ”น What Is the Real Presence? The Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC 1374) affirms: “In the most blessed sacrament of the Eucharist ‘the body and blood, together with the soul and divinity, of our Lord Jesus Christ and, therefore, the whole Christ is truly, really, and substantially contained.’” This means that the consecrated bread and wine are not just symbols or reminders of Jesus—they become Jesus Himself through the miracle of transubstantiation . ๐Ÿ“– Biblical Evidence for the Real Presence 1.
