Make every effort to assist every day at Holy Mass, so that, together with the priest, you may offer the sacrifice of your Redeemer to God His Father, for yourself and for the whole Church. The Angels, as St. John Chrysostom says, are always present there in great numbers to honor this holy mystery, and we, being there with them and with the same intentions, cannot but receive many favorable influences from such company.

The choirs of the Church triumphant and those of the Church militant meet together and are united with our Lord in this divine action, in order that with Him, in Him and through Him they may ravish the heart of God the Father, and make His mercy all our own.

What happiness for a soul devoutly to bring her affections as a contribution towards so precious and desirable a good.

Taken from the book "The Devout Life" By St. Francis De Sales
