More wisdom on the Mass

One of the things that Jesus did say at the Last Supper is that from this evening on, God wants to be worshipped in this way. Let’s just pause for a moment. There are so many things that Jesus could have said at that moment. He could have said, God wants to be worshipped by us building beautiful buildings and sacrificing animals there. Or he could have said, God wants to be worshipped by us going up on a high place and building an altar and burning certain things on the altar. Or he could’ve said, God wants us to turn in a certain direction at certain times during the day and say particular prayers…. Instead, what Jesus told us is that God wants us to worship him by having a meal.
