in the
Anglican Patriarchate
The Anglican Rite of the Universal Church and in the Lower-Gallican Rite therein
The Holy
Sacrifice of the Mass is the highest form of Christian prayer. It is
the true and living Sacrifice of Christ that took place upon the
Cross at Calvary approximately two thousand years ago. The mass that
takes place at the hands of a priest upon the altar today is the very
same sacrifice in a different form. It is a corporate act of the
faithful, led by the priest, standing as an Alter
Christus,
by
which all may join themselves the Sacrifice of Christ on the Cross.
